Abstract
This research aims to know the essence of the correlative relationship between decision-making skills and academic achievement among students of computer science departments in the colleges of education in the Baghdad governorate. The size of the research sample of students in the two colleges amounted to (200) male and female students distributed by (104) male and (96) female students. To measure the decision-making skill and academic achievement, the researcher built two tests, the first to measure the decision-making skill, and the second an achievement test in the numerical analysis subject prescribed for second-year students, Department of Computer Science, and the validity and reliability of each test was verified. After collecting and analyzing the data, the researchers concluded that the students of the computer science departments in the colleges of education in the province of Baghdad possessed the decision-making skill compared to the hypothetical average that was compared, while the female students outperformed the male students in the decision-making skill test that was prepared for this research. And their achievement is good compared to the hypothetical average that was compared, while the female students outperformed the male students in the achievement test for the subject of numerical analysis. There is a correlation between the decision-making skill and the academic achievement of the students as a whole. However, there is no correlation between the decision-making skill and the students' academic achievement, while there is an inverse correlation between the decision-making skill and the student's achievement. The research reached several recommendations.
Highlights
The amount of knowledge the learner possesses is no longer a true indicator of his success in facing the problems that he faces in his academic or practical life, but rather the subject of his potential to participate effectively in the production of knowledge, how to use it, apply it and employ it when needed in solving these problems is the basis [1]
This is what caught the attention of the researcher, as through her work in the Department of Computer Science and the frequent complaints of students about their inability to employ the numerical analysis subject they are studying as a prerequisite in the second stage in programming the proposed solutions to mathematical problems that need to make the right decisions regarding the best-proposed solutions and the impact of each That is on their low achievement in that article
We find that the measures for which the mean of arithmetic is more significant than the hypothesis, which implies that sample students have the decision-making skill that represents one of the higher thinking skills
Summary
The amount of knowledge the learner possesses is no longer a true indicator of his success in facing the problems that he faces in his academic or practical life, but rather the subject of his potential to participate effectively in the production of knowledge, how to use it, apply it and employ it when needed in solving these problems is the basis [1]. The issue of thinking and its impact on making the right decisions has raised a lot of controversy among researchers in addition to its importance in teaching and learning mathematics and the need for each of them to determine how the learner distinguishes the right decisions to solve a mathematical problem and the impact of all this on their achievement in mathematics [4,5] This is what caught the attention of the researcher, as through her work in the Department of Computer Science and the frequent complaints of students about their inability to employ the numerical analysis subject they are studying as a prerequisite in the second stage in programming the proposed solutions to mathematical problems that need to make the right decisions regarding the best-proposed solutions and the impact of each That is on their low achievement in that article. The results of the research may help those interested in the educational process and researchers to design various training extension programs aimed at developing decision-making skills to increase academic achievement among students in schools and universities
