فاعلية برنامج مقترح مرتكز على المفاهيم الأساسية لطريقة STEM و الموجه لأطفال ما قبل المدرسة

Abstract EN

The present study aimed to ascertain the effectiveness of a proposed program based on the basic concepts of stem for preschool children.

the main problem : “does the proposed program-based on the stem method-allow pre-school children to effectively acquire some of the specific concepts that emerge from it ?”.

to answer that question, the study implemented the quasi-experimental approach with two-group (experimental and control) to achieve its objectives.

the study sample consisted of 64 of preschool children aged between (4-6) years who were enrolled in the Mahatech academy.

the research sample was randomly divided into the experimental and control groups each (16 females, 16 males).

the study used the following : (sb-5) Stanford-Binet intelligence scales, 5th edition (coded by Safwat Faraj), family socio-economic level measure for Abdul Aziz al-Shakhs (2013), test of the study program based on the basic concepts of stem method for preschool children (by the researcher), the proposed study program based on basic concepts of the stem method for kindergarten children (by the researcher), measures of central tendency (average), measures of dispersion (standard deviation), t-test, and Pearson test.

the study found that : there were significant statistical differences between the level of acquisition of scientific / technological / engineering / mathematical concepts identified in the proposed program for the children of the experimental group and the children of the control group after their interaction with the program activities for the benefit of the experimental group at the 0.05 level, there were no statistically significant differences between the level of acquisition of scientific / technological / engineering / mathematical concepts specified in the proposed program for the children of the control group before and after the application of the program to the experimental group for the program test at the 0.05 level, and there were statistical differences between the level of acquisition of scientific / technological / engineering / mathematical concepts specified in the proposed program for the children of the experimental group before and after the application of the program for the program's distance measurement at the 0.50 level.
