Abstract

The study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a program based on STEM approach in developing critical thinking skills in Mathematics for the students in GAZA. To achieve the study objectives, the researchers adopted the experimental approach. A program based on STEM, teacher guide has been prepared. To verify the effectiveness of the program, the study tool was a critical thinking skills test. This test has undergone pre and post application on a sample consisted of a group of (86) female students selected from Al-Zahraa Secondary School. The study results revealed that there were statistically significant differences at the level of (α = 0.01) between the mean scores of experimental group students and control group students in the post application of critical thinking skills test in Mathematics. Also, the program based on STEM has a significant impact (ƞ² = 0.828), and has an effectiveness in developing critical thinking skills in Mathematics with Black modified earning coefficient (1.328). The study recommended that the STEM approach should be included in the appropriate educational units in mathematics, science and technology subjects and holding informational seminars on the STEM approach.

الملخص

هَدفت الدراسة إلى الكشف عن فاعلية برنامج قائم على منحى العلوم والتكنولوجيا والهندسة والرياضيات STEM في تنمية مهارات التفكير الناقد في الرياضيات لدى طالبات الصف الحادي عشر بغزة، استخدم الباحثان المنهج التجريبي، وتحددت مواد الدراسة وأدواتها في البرنامج المقترح المصمم وفق منحى STEM، دليل المعلم لتنفيذ أنشطة البرنامج، واختبار مهارات التفكير الناقد، أجريت الدراسة على 86 طالبة من طالبات الصف الحادي عشر علمي من مدرسة الزهراء الثانوية للبنات- مديرية التربية والتعليم شرق غزة، أظهرت نتائج الدراسة وجود فروق ذات دلالة إحصائية عند مستوى الدلالة (α =0.01) بين متوسطيْ درجات طالبات المجموعة التجريبية وطالبات المجموعة الضابطة في اختبار مهارات التفكير الناقد البعدي لصالح المجموعة التجريبية، ووجود أثر كبير لتدريس الرياضيات وفق منحى STEM(ƞ² =0.828) في تنمية مهارات التفكير الناقد، كما أظهرت الدراسة فاعلية البرنامج حيث بلغ معدل الكسب 1.328.وأوصت الدراسة بضرورة إدراج منحى STEM في الوحدات التعليمية المناسبة في مباحث الرياضيات والعلوم والتكنولوجيا وعقد ندوات تعريفية بمنحى STEM.
