The effect of brain-based learning on the achievement of fifth grade students in mathematics and their attitudes towards it

Abstract

The aim of the current research is to identify (the effect of brain-based learning on the achievement of fifth-grade female students in mathematics and their attitudes towards it); The sample of the research consisted of (70) female students of the fifth scientific grade, and they were distributed equally into two experimental and control groups, with (35) students for each group. Lateral Thinking Test), the researcher prepared an achievement test consisting of (30) objective items of the type (multiple choice), and a measure of attitude towards mathematics consisting of (30) items with five alternatives (strongly agree, agree, disagree, disagree Strongly agree), distributed over six domains (attitude towards the nature of mathematics n direction towards the value of mathematics, towards enjoyment of mathematics, direction towards learning mathematics, direction towards mathematics school, and direction towards success in mathematics). The researcher taught the two groups, and after the experiment ended, the two tools were applied to the two research groups, and the results showed: * There is a statistically significant difference at the significance level (0.05) between the average scores of the experimental group students who studied using brain-based learning and the average scores of the control group students who studied in the traditional way in the achievement test in favor of the experimental group. * There is a statistically significant difference at the significance level (0.05) between the average scores of the experimental group students who studied using brain-based learning and the average scores of the control group students who studied in the traditional way in the measure of attitude towards mathematics in favor of the experimental group.
