Abstract |
: |
Methods of teaching mathematics in our schools have long depended on explanations and rote learning ignoring the diversification of teaching strategies that take into account individual differences among students. This method has resulted in students' low achievement as observed in the present study. The study observed that students' low achievement in Geometry and their lack of interest in this subject are due to students' ignorance of different aspects of learning geometry, and their lack of participation in mathematics classes in general and Geometry in particular. The reason behind this situation is two-fold: first, the difficulty students face in understanding abstract concepts devoid of real life contexts; and second, the lack of varied methods which account for individual differences. All this has resulted in low learning students in our schools amounting to 12.5% - 25%. This percentage reaches a higher level of (20%-30%) in government schools among students of intelligence ratio of 70 -80.Many studies have shown that training (teaching) based on activities which rely on the theory of multiple intelligences results in students' increased abilities in recalling and retaining concepts, improvement in applying the acquired knowledge into real life activities, increased levels of academic output, increased sense of students' learning responsibility and rectifying mistaken concepts in learning science.This study provides a corrective strategy based on the theory of multiple intelligences for female slow-learners in the second year intermediate school. The strategy includes varied activities suitable for students' common intelligence patterns. The problem of the study is stated in the following question: How effective is the use of a suggested corrective strategy based on the theory of multiple intelligences for the development of geometric achievement and attitudes towards geometry in female slow learning students in second year intermediate school in Jeddah?
The objective of the study is to provide an answer to the question of the study by: specifying common patterns of intelligence in slow-learning students, providing a suitable strategy for slow-learning students in accordance with their common pattern of intelligence, and identifying the effect of using the suggested strategy in developing geometric achievement and attitude towards geometry in the sample of the study.The study uses the experimental approach (single group approach) due to its suitability to the problem of the study. The corrective program depends on diagnosing the points of weakness in the sample and treating the same group by using the independent variable, i.e. achievement and attitude towards geometry. The sample is studied before and after being exposed to the independent variable.The following results have been reached:There is a statistically significant difference at the level 0.01 between students' average grades in the pre and post tests in recalling, comprehension, and application in the geometry unit (Facts about Angles) in favor of the post test.There is a statistically significant difference at the level 0.01 between students' average grades in the pre and post tests in the overall attitude measurement, its aspects towards geometry in favor of the post test.The study offers many recommendations with regard to slow-learning students, mathematics curriculum, and teachers and supervisors of mathematics. |
