Abstract

The study aimed at investigating the levels of habits of mind and their impact in the mathematical creative thinking at students of Amman schools. The sample of study consisted of (120) students selected from Eighth Basic Grade at Abu A’lia public school registered in the scholastic year (2015/2016). The sample of study was divided into two groups; the experimental group (n=60) trained the program of habits of mind, and the other a controlling group (n=60) (untrained by the training program). To investigate levels of habits of mind a scale of habits of mind was developed and had been assured of it is validity and reliability, also an instrument of processing had been developed, it is the training program on the mental habits, and also had been assured of it is validity. Results of study showed lowness of habits of mind at students, and excellence of the experimental group (trained by the training program in the habits of mind) on the controlling group in creative thinking, in addition to existence of positive connecting relationship between the level of habits of mind and mathematical creative thinking. And in the light of results of study, both researchers with the significance of using the training program in the habits of mind on developing the creative thinking.

الملخص

هدفت هذه الدراسة إلى تقصي مستويات العادات العقلية، وأثرها في التفكير الإبداعي الرياضي لدى طلبة مدارس عمان، وتكونت عينة الدراسة من 120 طالبا وطالبة من الصف الثامن الأساسي في مدرسة أبو عليا للذكور وأبو عليا للإناث والمسجلين في العام الدراسي 2015/2016م، وتم تقسيم عينة الدراسة إلى مجموعتين إحداهما تجريبية (60) طالباً (تدربت على برنامج تدريبي في العادات العقلية) والأخرى ضابطة (60) طالباً (لم تتدرب على البرنامج التدريبي). ولتقصي مستويات العادات العقلية تم تطوير مقياس في العادات العقلية، وتم التحقق من صدقه وثباته، وكذلك تم تطوير أداة المعالجة وهي البرنامج التدريبي على العادات العقلية، وكذلك تم التحقق من صدقه. وأظهرت نتائج الدراسة تدني مستوى العادات العقلية عند الطلبة، وتفوق المجموعة التجريبية (التي تدربت على البرنامج التدريبي في العادات العقلية) على المجموعة الضابطة في التفكير الإبداعي، إضافة إلى وجود علاقة ارتباطية موجبة بين مستوى العادات العقلية والتفكير الإبداعي الرياضي. وفي ضوء نتائج الدراسة يوصي الباحثان بأهمية استخدام البرامج التدريبية في العادات العقلية على تنمية التفكير الإبداعي.
