مستوى البراعة الرياضية لدى طالبات الصف السادس الإبتدائي بمدينة الرياض

Abstract EN

The study aimed to identify Mathematical Proficiency level of the 6th grade students.

Descriptive (Survey) Method have been used to achieve the goal of the study.

The sample of the study consisted of 390 students of the 6th grade from 7 public schools that are subordinate to the Administration of Education in Riyadh.

Two instruments were used in this study: A test of seven questions, to measure the students' level in four components of mathematical proficiency, which are (Conceptual Understanding, Procedural Fluency, Strategic Competence and Adaptive Reasoning), and a questionnaire to measure the Productive Disposition, which contained three axes.

The instruments were applied in the second term of the school year 1437-1438 after verifying reliability and validity.

After that, the results were analyzed using a number of suitable statistical techniques, which are simple moving average (SMA), percentage, and standard deviations to measure the students' level in mathematical proficiency.

The results of the study showed that 6th grade students' have low level in Conceptual Understanding, Procedural Fluency, Strategic Competence and Adaptive Reasoning, and middle level in Productive Disposition.

The study were concluded by providing some recommendations, such as the necessity of giving attention to mathematical proficiency and developing it, and choosing everything that contribute to it of teaching strategies or learning programs, with focusing on balancing the concepts of mathematics methodology content.

The study suggested doing more studies on mathematical proficiency and ways to develop it.
