The Effect of Using the Frayer Teaching Model in Acquiring Mathematical Concepts among the Seventh Grade Students

Abstract

The current research aim to identify the effect of using the Frayer teaching model in acquiring mathematical concepts among the seventh grade students.To achieve this goal, the two researchers used the experimental method. The experiment was applied to a sample of 62 students  from the seventh  grade who were selected intentionally from(bjara) intermediate School which is located in the center of Dohuk  governorate for the academic year (2017-2018) and then distributed randomly to two equal groups, one of which is experimental, consisting of (31) students who studied using the Frayer teaching model, and another  group consists of (31) students studied using the usual method, The results of the study  were analyzed using the arithmetic mean and the T-test for two independent samples. The results were as follows: There is a statistically significant difference between the scores of the two research groups. Thus, the students who study according to the frayer model are superior to the students who study according to the usual method in the test of mathematical concepts. There is no statistically significant difference between the scores of the research students in the experimental group according to gender variables and in the mathematical concepts test. In the experimentation of student-centered teaching models in the acquisition of mathematical cocepts. The study came out with a set of conclusions, recommendations and suggestions. Keywords: Frayer Model, Acquisition of Mathematical Concepts.
