Abstract

This study aimed at identifying the main difficulties that face students in studying math courses at Al-Quds Open University in Ramallah Branch. The other aim of the research was to investigate students' attitudes and opinions towards enhancing technology into teaching math to overlap the difficulty of the open education system. The research is firstly a qualitative research where studens' views, ideas and perspectives were discussed by the focus groups and observations and secondly, it is a statistical analysis where a quesionnaire was used for the purposes of the research. The statistical measures such as the means, standard deviations, Independent t-test & ANOVA were calculated. The Results of this research show that there are many difficulties facing math students. These difficulties have been classified into three themes, namely: - open education system, textbooks and teaching materials, and administration. Students pointed to the advantage of using e learning as a supporter and considered taped lectures as a solution for many of the mentioned difficulties and recommend using it in all math courses.

الملخص

تهدف هذه الدراسة إلى الوقوف على أهم الصعوبات التي تواجه طلبة مقررات الرياضيات باستخدام أسلوب التعلم المفتوح في جامعة القدس المفتوحة فرع رام الله والبيرة التعليمية. كما هدفت الدراسة الى معرفة آلية التغلب على هذه الصعوبات ومدى رغبة الطلاب في توظيف التعلم الالكتروني كمساند للتعلم الوجاهي من أجل تحسين قدرتهم على تعلم الرياضيات. واعتمدت الدراسة أولاً منهج البحث النوعي من خلال المجموعات البؤرية والمشاهدات كأدوات لجمع البيانات المتعلقة بآراء واتجاهات وتفسيرات الطلاب على مساقات الرياضيات لمعرفة هذه الصعوبات ومن ثم المنهج الوصفي باستخدام استبانة صممت لأغراض البحث وتم حساب المتوسطات الحسابية والانحرافات المعيارية والاوزان النسبية والاختبار التائي لمجموعتين مستقلتين(Independent T-test) واختبار تحليل التباين الاحادي(ANOVA). تبين نتائج الدراسة أن هنالك العديد من الصعوبات التي تم تصنيفها ضمن أربع محاور وهي:- صعوبات متعلقة بالنظام المفتوح نفسه، وصعوبات متعلقة بالمحتوى التعليمي، وصعوبات متعلقة بأعضاء هيئة التدريس أما المحور الرابع فيما يخص التعلم الإلكتروني فقد أشار معظم المفحوصين إلى أهمية توظيفه لدعم الطلبة مع استبقاء اللقاءات الوجاهية كما هي وتعميمه على كل مقررات الرياضيات.
