استخدام استراتيجية الأبعاد السداسية (PDEODE)‎ المدعمة ببيئة تعلم إلكترونية في تدريس الرياضيات لتنمية مهارات الحل الإبداعي للمشكلات الرياضياتية و الاستيعاب المفاهيمي لدى طلاب المرحلة الثانوية

الملخص EN

This study aimed at investigating the Effect of PDEODE (Predict-Discuss-Explain-Observe-Discuss-Explain) teaching strategy supported by E-learning environment on improving secondary school students’ creative problem-solving and conceptual understanding in Mathematics.

To fulfill the purpose of the study, an E-learning environment was utilized, a Student Activity Book and Teacher’s Guidebook were designed, as well as a creative problem-solving skills test and conceptual understanding test were constructed.

The validity and reliability of the study instruments were established before their use in the study.

The study adopted the quasi-experimental design and the research design used a pretest-posttest control group.

Eighty (80) students in the first year of secondary school were involved in this study, where 40 students represented the experimental group and 40 represented the control group.

The PDEODE Strategy, supported with an E-learning environment, was administered to the experimental group, whereas the control group received the regular teaching.

The creative problem-solving skills test and conceptual understanding test scores were analyzed both qualitatively and quantitative.

Statistical data analysis, using an independent t-test, of student test scores point to statistically significant differences (p<0.05) in total scores of both the creative problem-solving test and its components as well as the conceptual understanding test and its components.

Results of this study suggest that the PDEODE is a more effective teaching strategy when supported by an E-Learning environment.
