فعالية برنامج قائم على استخدام إستراتيجيات التعلم النشط في تنمية التحصيل الدراسي لطلاب الإعاقة الفكرية

Abstract

The current study aimed to reveal the effectiveness of using some active learning strategies to clarify its impact on the academic achievement of a sample of intellectually disabled students. The study sample included (40) middle school students with intellectual disabilities in Riyadh who suffer from low academic achievement. The students were divided into two equal groups. One of them was experimental and subjected to the active learning program, and the other was a control one who studied in the traditional way under normal teaching conditions, each consisting of (20) students. The study relied on the quasi-experimental approach as a method of study, and the researcher applied to the two groups a pre- and posttest for academic achievement. Statistical treatment was carried out, and the results showed that there were statistically significant differences at the level (0.01) between the mean scores of the dimensional measurement of the experimental group and the control group in favor of the mean scores of the experimental group, which indicates the effectiveness of using active learning strategies in increasing the academic achievement of mentally handicapped students, members of the experimental group.
