استراتيجيات التغير المفهومي وآ ثارها في تعديل مفهوم الرياضيات البديلة لدى طلبة الصف العاشر الأساسي بدولة الكويت

الملخص EN

This study aimed to finding out the effect of using some of the conceptual change strategies in modifying the alternative mathematical concepts among the tenth grade students in Kuwait.

The researcher followed in his study the descriptive and experimental methods.

The sample of the descriptive study consisted of (326) male and female students out of (2567) students and students in the tenth grade in Kuwait City.

An experimental sample was chosen consisting of (4) divisions, two male divisions, one control and one experimental, and two female divisions, one control and the other experimental.

The sample size reached (170) students.

The researcher applied a diagnostic test for the pre and post errors of the experimental sample of the experimental study and using the statistical treatments according to the Statistical Package for Social Science program (SPSS).

The study showed the effectiveness of the conceptual change strategies used by the researcher in modifying the mathematical concepts of the tenth grade students, for the following results: there were statistically significant differences at the level of (α = 0.01) in the post-test between the average scores of the control group (15.404) who studied the traditional method and the average scores of the experimental group (15,354) who studied using the strategies of conceptual change.

Also, there were statistically significant differences at the level of (α = 0.01) in the post-test between the average scores of the control group (15,440) who studied the traditional method and the average scores of the experimental group (15,367) who studied using the strategies of conceptual change, and there were statistically significant differences at the level of (α = 0.01) in the post-test between the average score of the students of the control group (15.366) who studied the traditional method, and the average score of the experimental group (15,330) who studied using the strategies of conceptual change.

In the light of the above findings, the researcher recommends using conceptual change strategies to modify alternative mathematical concepts.
