واقع تنمية التفكير في الرياضيات لدى طلبة التعليم العام بالمملكة العربية السعودية : دراسة تحليلية

Abstract EN

The study aimed to identify the reality of developing thinking in mathematics among students of general education in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, as well as to reveal the obstacles that prevent this.

(73) Papers were analyzed in Saudi and Arab magazines aimed at developing thinking in mathematics during the period (2010 - 2019 CE).

Using the descriptive analytical method and the scientific research analysis card.

The study found that (50% ) of the researches targeted, the intermediate stage, compared to (22% ) that targeted the primary stage, while the percentage of research that targeted the development or evaluation of teacher practices (14% ).

The results showed that the research focused on targeting the female sample by (48% ), compared to (42% ) for males and (10% ) for both sexes together.

With regard to the targeted thinking patterns, mathematical thinking came first (21% ), while higher thinking skills came last (6% ).

The year (2019 CE) came first in terms of research in developing thinking in mathematics (21% ), and the two years (2011 CE, 2013) came in the last rank with (3% ).

The results showed that the research focused on the use of the experimental approach by (82% ), compared to the use of the descriptive approach that came with (18% ).

The results also showed that most of the thinking development practices in mathematics are those that fall within the field of learning theories (40% ), while the practices within the field of active learning came in the last rank with (18% ).

The results also revealed that most of the obstacles to developing thinking in mathematics are those related to the teacher (45% ), while the obstacles related to the school came in the last place with 12% .

In the light of these results, it was recommended to create a database of all scientific research and thesis in the field of thinking development, classification, and updating it continuously and making it available to all researchers and interested parties.
