The purpose of this presentation is to offer a thorough examination of the methods employed to evaluate Arabic morphological knowledge in academic studies involving school-aged native Arabic speaking children. This session will focus on the systematic review of literature used in this study, specifically discussing the frameworks that were employed to guide the creation of measures of Arabic morphological knowledge. I will analyze the results and the inferences made from them, providing a thorough explanation of the implications for future research and educational methods. An extensive examination of the results reveals the specific attributes of measurements related to morphological knowledge, such as the various modes and modalities. This prompts a discussion of whether Arabic morphological knowledge should be perceived as multidimensional or unidimensional. In conclusion, this research will provide recommendations that highlight the significance of integrating the findings from previous studies on dimensionality to improve our understanding of Arabic morphology and its subsequent influence on literacy education.
