Abstract

Quasi-experimental study aimed to investigate the effect of Active Learning based on Structural Cognitive Maps strategy in developing cognitive beliefs, self-motivation and academic achievement among the students with special needs in Al Kharj, Saudi Arabia. The performance of the two groups of students was compared to each other, one in which students received learning based on a strategy of structural cognitive maps, and other students received the learning based on the traditional teaching strategies. The data was collected through pre and post-tests the self-cognitive beliefs and the motivation of academic achievement. The results showed the presence of statistically significant differences at the level of (α ≤ 0.05) between the mean scores of students of the experimental group and controlled group students grades of the post measure in both the academic achievement motivation, and the measure of self-cognitive and beliefs in favor of the experimental group. The study concludes with recommendations for institutions of care for people with special needs to ensure the structural cognitive maps strategy in the curricula of teaching people with special needs.

الملخص

هدفت الدراسة شبه التجريبية إلى تقصي أثر استخدام التعلم النشط القائم على استراتيجية الخرائط المعرفية البنائية في تنمية المعتقدات المعرفية الذاتية ودافعية الإنجاز الأكاديمي لدى الطلبة ذوي الاحتياجات الخاصة في محافظة الخرج في المملكة العربية السعودية، حيث تم مقارنة أداء مجموعتين من الطلاب، إحداهما: تلقى الطلاب فيها التعلم القائم على استراتيجية الخرائط المعرفية البنائية، والأخرى تلقى الطلاب فيها التعلم القائم على استراتيجيات التدريس التقليدية. وقد تم جمع البيانات من خلال اختبار قبلي في المعتقدات المعرفية الذاتية، ودافعية الإنجاز الأكاديمي، واختبار بعدي. وقد أظهرت نتائج الدراسة وجود فروق ذات دلالة إحصائية عند مستوى الدلالة (α≤ 0.05) بين متوسطي درجات طلاب المجموعة التجريبية ودرجات طلاب المجموعة الضابطة في القياس البعدي لكل من مقياس دافعية الإنجاز الأكاديمي، ومقياس المعتقدات المعرفية الذاتية لصالح المجموعة التجريبية. واختتمت الدراسة بتوصيات لمؤسسات رعاية ذوي الاحتياجات الخاصة ليضمنوا استراتيجية الخرائط المعرفية البنائية في مناهج تدريس ذوي الاحتياجات الخاصة.
