فاعلية استراتيجية الرؤوس المرقمة في تحصيل الرياضيات و بقاء أثر التعلم و تنمية التفكير الجانبي لدى تلاميذ المرحلة الابتدائية

Abstract EN

The present study aimed at investigating the effectiveness of the Numbered Heads Together Strategy in the achievement of mathematics, learning retention, and lateral thinking development among primary stage students.

Participants of the study were (72) fifth grade primary stage students, they were divided equally into two groups, the experimental group who studied the "Groups" unit using the Numbered Heads Together Strategy, and the control group, who studied the same unit in the traditional method.

The researcher prepared the experimental unit according to the Numbered Heads Together Strategy, the achievement test, as well as a lateral thinking test.

Findings of the study confirmed the effectiveness of the Numbered Heads Together Strategy in developing the achievement of mathematics, learning retention, and lateral thinking among primary stage students.

In light of the study findings, the researcher recommended the necessity of using the Numbered Heads Together Strategy in teaching different topics in mathematics, and encouraging teachers at various educational stages to develop lateral thinking among their students.
