Marzano’s Learning Principles in Teaching Methods at Erbil City Schools

Abstract

This research aimed to assess the application of Marzano's Dimensions of Learning principles among teachers in public middle schools in Erbil Governorate. Specifically, it examined differences in application levels based on gender and years of experience. Utilizing a descriptive-analytical method, the study involved a sample of 328 middle school teachers. A questionnaire with 50 items across five dimensions—positive attitudes toward learning, acquiring and integrating knowledge, expanding and refining knowledge, purposeful use of knowledge, and productive habits of mind—was used. Results indicated a low overall application level, with an average score of 2.26. Significant differences were found based on gender, favoring female teachers, and years of experience, favoring those with 10 or more years.
