مستوى صعوبات تعلم الرياضيات من وجهة نظر طلبة التربية العملية في كلية العلوم التربوية و الآداب (الأونروا)‎ و اقتراحاتهم لمعالجتها

Abstract EN

This paper investigates the perspectives of Practicum Students (PS) regarding the levels of difficulties with which their pupils are confronted when learning mathematics.

The researchers have also examined PS suggestions to overcome such difficulties.

The study sample included 101 practicum students trained to be class teachers at the UNRWA College of Educational Sciences and Arts.

To reach the study objectives, the researchers designed and administered a scale comprising 38 items which were grouped into three areas, each of which integrates a number of sub-items: curriculum (12 items), teacher (10 items) and student (16 items).

Results revealed mid-level difficulties to learn mathematics in the three areas, and the descending order of these was: student, teacher and curriculum.

Attributed to GPA variable, results showed no statistically significant differences in defining the level of difficulties to learn mathematics as seen by Practicum Students, who suggested the implementation of specialized educational programs and the use of diverse teaching/ learning strategies to overcome such difficulties.
