Paper Abstract:
|
Hebrew words are known to be composed of roots, entities of three or four consonants that are combined in different
patterns. Roots form an integral part of Hebrew morphology and the knowledge of extracting them is essential for
high-school matriculation exams. Even though these skills are formally taught starting from second-grade, students still
exhibit difficulties applying them. Hence, we created an innovative online root instruction program of five short video
lessons that teaches 5- to 8-year old children to extract roots. Children significantly improved their root extraction skills
after having completed our program. Furthermore, our program helped close the gap between the younger children and
the older children who had already been introduced to the notion of the root in school. Using advanced technologies that
allow the development of new teaching methods that are not traditionally used in schools, we managed to teach very
young children a complex subject in morphology. |
