The current study aimed to get acquainted with the students'
opinions about their capacity for using what they have learnt in the
literature subject in life situations. This is achieved through teaching
literature to the control group by using the
traditional method, and
teaching it to the first experimental group by using the functional method
which is based on connecting the piece of information to the environment
and reality of students, drawing their attention with what they learn and
meeting their knowledge needs through presenting the study topics as
problems which draw the attention of students and push them to analyze
such problems and achieve various solutions to them.
The study also aimed to investigate the opinions of students about
their capacity for using what they have learnt in the literature subject by
using the adopted methods (traditional and functional), and examine the
effect of sex variable on the three groups.
