The Impact of Using the Van Hiele Model in Developing Geometric Thinking Levels among Tenth Grade Students in Jordan.

This study aimed to investigate the impact of the usage of the Van Hiele model in the development of geometric thinking levels among tenth grade students in Jordan. The sample of the study was selected from tenth grade basic students in Amman schools. Two hundred and forty students studying the mathematics course in the circle unit were divided into two groups: experimental (using the Van Hiele model) and the control (using the traditional approach of teaching).To achieve the objectives of the study, a test of geometric thinking in the unit of the circle was developed. Validity and reliability of the test was verified. The instructional material was also prepared in the circle unit for the students of the tenth grade using the Van Hiele model of geometric thinking.

Building an educational program based on computer simulation in: بناء برنامج تعليمي مستند على المحاكاة الحاسوبية في تدريس الأحياء وأثره في التحصيل والاتجاه نحو التعلم لدى طالبات المرحلة الأساسية في الأردن

The research aims at investigating the effect of using a computerized simulation based educational program, in teaching biology for ninth grade students in Jordan, in terms of achievement and tendency for learning. The quasiexperimental design was deployed in this study, along with three tools: a computerized simulation program, an achievement test, and a learning tendency scale. The subjects of the study were randomly selected from two sections of the ninth grade in Al-Nasser Modern School. The first section was treated as an experimental group, consisting of (24) students who were exposed to the computerized simulation program; whereas, the second section was selected as a control group, consisting of (24) students who were exposed to the ordinary instructional program. The results showed that the experimental group (computerized simulation program) obtained an overall average of (20.21 out of 25) in terms of achievement, on the contrary, the control group (the ordinary instructional program) obtained an overall average of (15.17 out of 25) in terms of achievement. Furthermore, the experimental group obtained an average of (3.97 out of 5) in terms of tendency to learn the curriculum, while the control group obtained a total average of (2.58 out of 5) in terms of tendency to learn the curriculum. Therefore, there is a significant difference in both, achievement, and tendency for learning, at the level of (α ≤ 0.05) that can be ascribed to the experimental group. The size of the effect of the post-measurement is (31.6%, for achievement, and (46.4%) for tendency for learning, which means, there is an (average) effect of the computerized simulation program in both. Based on these results, the two researchers recommended adopting this study to benefit from the designated educational program.

The Effect of Using the Differentiated Education Strategy on Achievement in Mathematics among Basic Elementary School Students in Jordan

This study aimed to investigate the effect of using the differentiated education strategy on mathematics achievement among ninth grade students in Jordan. The number of the study members was (106) male and female students, who were divided into two groups: the first is an experimental group that studied using the differentiated education method consisting of (24 male and 18 female students), and the second is a control group that studied in the traditional way consisting of (39 male and 25 students). The study plan of the experimental group included Geometry unit topics that were designed using the differentiated education strategy. An achievement Exam was done in the Geometry unit and it was judged , The values of honesty and reliability has been calculated, and the results of the study showed that there are statistically significant differences at the level of (α = 0.05) between the students ’grades in Mathematical Achievement due to the teaching method used for the benefit of the experimental group that studied in a method Differentiated Education, and the absence of statistically significant differences at the level of (α = 0.05) between students ’grades in achievement rates attributable to the gender variable, as well as the absence of a statistically significant interaction between the teaching method and gender.

The Effect of using Flipped Learning Strategy on the Academic Achievement of Eighth Grade Students in Jordan

This study aimed to reveal the effect of using the flipped learning strategy on the development of achievement and the trend towards it among eighth grade students in the English language subject in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. The sample of the study consisted of a sample of eighth-grade students who study in government schools affiliated with the Directorate of Education in the Northern Mazar District in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, and their number (50) students were distributed into two groups chosen randomly, one of them is a control group, and the number of its students is (25) and the other Experimental and the number of its students (25) students. Where the control group was taught using the usual method, the experimental group was taught using the flipped learning strategy. To achieve the objectives of the study, the researcher used the descriptive approach and the experimental approach (with a quasi-experimental design), and the study tools were: an achievement test and a questionnaire to measure attitude. The study materials also included educational software. The results of the study indicated that there was a statistically significant difference between the average scores of the group of students. The experimental group and the control group in the post application of the attitude scale in favour of the experimental group, and this indicates that the use of the flipped classroom strategy had an impact on developing students' attitudes towards it.In light of this, the researcher recommends several recommendations, most notably taking advantage of the standards and the proposed educational model in the current research in the field of English language learning, as well as the application of multimedia programs in the use of the flipped classroom strategy, to raise the level of students in the basic stage in academic achievement, and to expand the application of e-learning And blended learning to improve students’ attitudes towards using the flipped classroom strategy to learn English, holding training courses for teachers on the use of the flipped learning strategy, and employing modern technologies and social networks in the educational process.
