Content Analysis of the Texts of the Book of '' Loghaty Aljamelah'' for the Sixth Grade Primary in Saudi Arabia in the Light of Text Structuring Standards

Abstract

Objectives: The study aimed to determine the extent to which text structure criteria are included in the primary sixth-grade "Loghaty Aljamelah” texts.

Methodology: The study adopted a descriptive analytical approach to analyze the content. The study instrument (Analysis Card) was designed by the researcher and included two domains. The first domain encompassed the Cohesion Criterion along with 12 indicators, while the second domain included the Coherence Criterion with 11 indicators. After verifying its validity and reliability, the instrument was applied accordingly. The findings were extracted by indicating the frequencies of the indicators, as well as using Holste Equation to extract the reliability coefficient between the two analyses.

Results: The following findings were concluded: The Cohesion Criterion was present to a low degree in the texts of "Loghaty Aljamelah" for the primary sixth grade, while the Coherence Criterion was present to a moderate degree in the texts under study.

Conclusion: The following recommendations were suggested: The importance of benefiting from the list of indicators of the Cohesion and Coherence Criteria in structuring and selecting primary sixth-grade "Loghaty Aljamelah" texts; adding more texts in Arabic language textbooks while considering the selection of texts that contain an introduction, body, and conclusion; and excluding fragmented and truncated texts.
