أثر استخدام تقنيات فيت (PhET)‎ للمحاكاة التفاعلية في تنمية التحصيل و بعض مهارات التفكير التحليلي في العلوم لدى طلبة الصف السابع بغزة

Abstract EN

This research aims to investigate the effectiveness of using interactive simulation "PhET" in developing achievement and some analytical thinking skills of seventh grade in gaza.

To achieve the objectives of the study , the quasi- experimental approach, based on designing two groups ( experimental &control) with pre and post measurement was used.

The sample was(85) students were chosen purposively , the experimental group (43 student) studied by using interactive simulation method, The control group (42 student) studied by traditional method during the 1st semester of the scholastic year of (2018-2019).

To collect data the researcher prepared tow tools , the achievement test and the analytical thinking exam .And two other tools to facilitate the application which are student work sheets and teacher guide.

The hypothesis were checked using t- test for independent samples , t- test for paired samples, eta square to measure the effectiveness of interactive simulation .

The results indicated that there were statistically significant differences at the significance level of 0.05 among the average scores of the experimental group students who were taught by the PhET interactive simulation in the pre and post application of the measurement of achievement and analytical thinking skills for the benefit of post application.

The results also indicated that the magnitude of the impact on analytical thinking skills and the achievement test of the unit of motion and the laws of Newton in the general sciences of the seventh grade was significantly high , where the value of ETA square η2 for the total score was greater than 0.8 for both tests.
