المستخلص

تمحور الهدف الرئيس للبحث الحالي حول استقصاء فاعلية نموذج مكارثي 4MAT  من خلال بيئة فصول جوجل في تنمية مهارات الكتابة الجدلية لدى طلاب شعبة اللغة الإنجليزية كلغة أجنبية بكلية التربية، جامعة الأزهر،  وقد تبني البحث المنهج التجريبي من خلال استخدام تصميم المجموعة الضابطة ذي الاختبارين القبلي والبعدي، وتمثلت أداة البحث في اختبار للكتابة الجدلية ومقياس تقدير متدرج لجمع البيانات؛ حيث تم تطبيقه قبليًا وبعديًا على طلاب عينة البحث بعد التأكد من صدقه وثباته، وتكونت عينة البحث من 74 طالبًا من الفرقة الرابعة بشعبة اللغة الإنجليزية، تم اختيارهم وتوزيعهم عشوائيًا إلى مجموعتين: المجموعة التجريبية وبلغ عدد طلابها 25 طالبًا، والمجموعة الضابطة وبلغ عدد طلابها 24 طالبًا، ولقد أسفر التحليل الإحصائي للبيانات من خلال اختبار للعينات المستقلة عن وجود فروق ذات دلالة إحصائية بين متوسطي درجات مجموعتي البحث لصالح المجموعة التجريبية،  مما يؤكد فاعلية نموذج مكارثي من خلال بيئة فصول جوجل في تنمية مهارات الكتابة الجدلية؛ حيث كان حجم الأثر كبير طبقًا لمعادلة كوهين (d = 1.47) ، ولقد قدم البحث مجموعة من التوصيات والمقترحات لباحثي المستقبل.
