فاعلية استخدام مدخل STEM في تنمية مهارات الحل الإبداعي للمشكلات الرياضية لدى طالبات الصف الثاني المتوسط

Abstract EN

This research aims at knowing the effectiveness of using STEM approach in developing the skills of creative solution for mathematical problems among second grade Intermediate female students.

To achieve this aim, the research adopted the Quasi-experimental approach based on experimental design with pre and post tests, which belongs to the Quasi-experimental designs.

The research sample consisted of (42) female students from the second grade Intermediate, divided randomly into two groups, one experimental group with (21) students, and the other control group (21) students.

The research materials and instruments are represented in the teacher's and student's guide according to the STEM Approch, and a test in the skills of creative solution for mathematical problems.

At the end of the experiment, the test was applied later on both groups.

The results revealed that, there were statistically significant differences at the level (0, 05) between the means scores of the experimental and control groups in the post test for the skills of creative solution of mathematical problems for the benefit of the experimental group, in problem understanding skill, finding ideas skill, preparing for the solution skill, and in creative solution skills of mathematical problems as a whole, which indicates the effectiveness of using the STEM approach in developing creative solution skills for mathematical problems.
