Employing Educational Blogs in Developing Some Summarization Skills for Second Grade Preparatory Female Pupils This study aimed at developing some summarization skills which are suitable and necessary for
second grade preparatory female pupils. In order to achieve study goals, researchers employed electronic
blogs and used qualitative and semi-experimental approaches. They designed the following educational
tools and elements:
1: List of summarization skills which are suitable to those students and necessary for them.
2: Test for summarization skills for second grade preparatory female pupils.

The performance of study took the whole first semester. To analyze study data, researchers used T-test
for independent samples and T-test for paired samples. The results revealed existence of six skills which
are suitable for study sample and necessary for them, and it proved effectiveness of educational blogs in
developing summarization skills for second grade preparatory female pupils.
In light of Those findings, researchers submitted some recommendations and suggested further
research relating to study subject.
