Abstract

This study aims at investigating the effect of an educational program supported with illuminations on problem solving and spatial ability among seventh grade students in Palestine. The Quasi-experimental design based on experimental and control groups was used in the study. Thus, the subjects of the study were (67) students from two sections, section (A) was selected randomly as an experimental group and exposed to the educational program supported with illuminations, section (B) was selected randomly as a control group and exposed to the ordinary instructional program. To achieve the aims of the study, three instruments were used for data collection: the educational program supported with illuminations, a test for measuring students' mathematical problem solving and a scale for measuring students' spatial ability. The results showed that there is a significant difference in problem solving among seven grade students in Palestine, in favor of the educational program and there is a significant difference in spatial ability among seven grade students in Palestine, in favor of the educational program. Based on the result, the researchers recommended the adoption of this study results, recommendations and it's educational program as a response for the effect of educational software on developing problem solving and spatial ability among the students, the necessity of training math teachers on using illuminations as programmed ones and the necessity of giving students chances to learn math through interactive educational software and enabling them to construct and represent math concepts.

الملخص

سعت الدراسة إلى تقصّي أثر برنامج تعليمي مُدعّم بالتأثيرات الضوئية في حلّ المسألة الرياضية والقدرة المكانية لدى طلبة الصف السابع الأساسي في فلسطين. استخدم في هذه الدراسة التصميم شبه التجريبي لمجموعتين (تجريبية وضابطة) عددهما (67) طالبة، طُبّق على المجموعة التجريبية البرنامج المُدعّم بالتأثيرات الضوئية، بينما طُبّق على المجموعة الضابطة طريقة التدريس الاعتيادي. ولتحقيق أهداف الدراسة تم استخدام ثلاث أدوات هي: البرنامج المُدعّم بالتأثيرات الضوئية، واختبار حلّ المسألة الرياضية، ومقياس القدرة المكانية. أظهرت نتائج الدراسة وجود فرق دال إحصائياً ( = 0.05) في حلّ المسألة الرياضية يُعزى إلى البرنامج المُدعّم بالتأثيرات الضوئية، كما أظهرت النتائج وجود فرق دال إحصائياً ( = 0.05) في القدرة المكانية يُعزى إلى البرنامج المُدعّم بالتأثيرات الضوئية. وبناء على هذه النتائج، توصي الدراسة بضرورة الاستفادة من برنامجها التعليمي؛ لما أظهرته النتائج من أثر إيجابي للتأثيرات الضوئية في تحسين حلّ المسألة الرياضية والقدرة المكانية لدى الطلبة، وضرورة إتاحة الفرص للطلبة لتعلّم الرياضيات من خلال برمجيات تعليمية تفاعلية جاهزة، يستطيع الطلبة من خلالها بناء المفاهيم الرياضية وتمثيلها.
