فاعلية مسرح العرائس في التعليم

Abstract EN

The present research aims to identify (the effectiveness of puppet theatre in education), and to verify the current research the researchers has formulated the following zero hypothesis: "There is no statistically significant difference at the level of (0.05) between the average grades of the students of the experimental group that are taught according to (puppet theatre) and the average grades of the pupils of the officer group that are taught in the usual way in the test acquisition of dimensional concepts of science".

The researchers adopted- in her experiment- the experimental design with partial control of the groups (experimental, and control) with the following experimental design for this research, and in light of this design the researchers selected a random sample of the first graders from the Kuwait Elementary Mixed School in Palestine Street, which is affiliated to the Directorate General of the first Rusafa, for the purpose of applying the present research, as the sample of research consists of (89) Pupils and pupils were distributed in two grades: one represents the experimental group including (44) male and female pupils, and the other represents the control group including (45) male and female Pupils.

The researchers selected the random method of the division (a) to represent the experimental group that studied scientific concepts using the strategy of puppet Theatre, and (b) to represent the group of officers, which studied the same scientific concepts in the usual way.

The equivalence of the two research groups was carried out in the following variables: (age calculated in months, intelligence, previous knowledge, parents ' academic achievement), and to conduct the experiment the researchers identified (12) scientific concepts within the last three units (fourth, fifth, and sixth) of the Textbook of Sciences For the first grade.

The behavioural objectives have been formulated by the researchers in three levels of scientific concepts according to the process of acquiring them: (definition of concept, concept recognition, and application of the concept) with number of (36) behavioural goals used for writing the teaching plans in the light of the independent variable.

The researchers also prepared the test of acquiring scientific concepts as the researcher's tool, the number of test items is (36) items in the light of the processes of acquisition of concepts.

The researcher confirmed the validity of the test by presenting it to a group of experts, and extracted the reliability of the test using the Quder Richader equation.

Before the end of the research experiment, the acquisition of scientific concepts was applied to the pupils of the experimental and the control groups in 10/4/2019 and the researcher used statistical means (T-test).

With the use of the two independent samples, the result has been of statistically significant differences between the experimental group that is taught according to the puppet Theatre and the control group which is taught in the usual way, for the benefit of the experimental group
