THE EFFECTIVENESS OF BACK-TO-BACK STRATEGY IN IMAGINATIVE THINKING AMONG FIFTH GRADE PRIMARY FEMALE STUDENTS IN SCIENCE SUBJECT SUBJECT

Abstract

The current research aims to identify the effectiveness of the back-to-back strategy in imaginative thinking among fifth grade students in science subject subject.
 The researcher relied on the experimental design with partial control and represents the research community of the fifth-Grade primary school pupils in the girls' primary schools of the General Directorate of Education of Diyala Governorate, Balad Rose, the academic year 2022 2023, and Harran Primary School for Girls was chosen as the research sample. It included 78 pupils distributed in two divisions and in a random draw method. The 38 pupils represented the experimental group that will study science according to the back-to-back strategy, while the 40 pupils represented the control group that teaches science according to the usual method. The researcher conducted an equivalence between the pupils of the two research groups before starting the experiment in a number of variables, namely (the age of the pupils calculated by months, IQ test, Imaginative thinking test)
 The scientific material to be taught, which included the first three units of the science textbook dedicated to teaching the fifth-grade primary school year (2022/2023), and the researcher formulated behavioral goals for the subjects she will study, which are (209) behavioral goals according to Bloom's classification of the cognitive field and its three levels (remember, understand, apply) and prepared daily plans to teach the two research groups. The researcher prepared the research tool represented in the Imaginative thinking test in the science material, as it consists of (15) test items of the multiplechoice type, and its validity, reliability and psychometric characteristics were verified. After the end of the experiment, the researcher applied the Imaginative thinking test to the two research groups. After analyzing the results statistically using the T-test for two independent samples, the research results resulted in the strategy of the back and back having a positive effect on the Imaginative thinking of the students of the fifth grade in the science material, since it is more effective than the method of habituality and based on its dependence, the result was reached from the presentation of the recommendations and proposals in the fourth chapter, which will be presented in the fourth chapter.
