فاعلية إستراتيجية Smith في تحصيل طالبات الصف الرابع العلمي في مادة الأحياء و تفكيرهن خارج الصندوق

Abstract EN

The current research aims to identify the effectiveness of Smith's strategy in the achievement of fourth-grade science female students in Biology.

The research sample included two groups, one of them is the experimental group with (34) female students and the control group with (34) female students too.

The researchers chose Al-Fajr High School for Girls affiliated to the General Directorate of Education in Dhi Qar / Qalat Sukkar Education Department in Dhi Qar Governorate / Al-Fajr City intentionally from the research community.

As the researchers adopted the experimental research as a method to conduct their research, which includes an independent variable (Smith's strategy) and a dependent variable (academic achievement), the researchers chose the experimental design to control the research variables.Before starting the application of the experiment, parity was conducted between the two research groups to obtain accurate results with the following variables (the chronological age of the female students in months, the academic achievement of the fathers, the academic achievement of the mothers, the previous information test, the Otis-Lignon intelligence test, the grades of the first semester in Biology).

When making parity between the two research groups, the researchers prepared the research requirements of plans, objectives and tests for the two research groups, and upon completion of the application of the experiment, the researchers applied their research tool to the two research groups.

After analyzing the results statistically, the researchers obtained data for the two research groups, and these data were processed statistically by means of a t-test for two independent samples.

The results showed that the students of the experimental group outperformed the students of the control group, according to Smith's strategy in academic achievement.
