واقع استخدام النمذجة الرياضية في التحصيل الدراسي لدى طلاب الصف الثاني المتوسط

Abstract EN

The study was carried out in Iraq and it aimed at identifying the reality of using mathematical modelling in the achievement of second intermediate students .

The researchers used the experimental approach and selected a sample of (60) second intermediate students in Al-Asdiqaa Intermediate School.

Furthermore, the researchers divided the sample into two equal groups; test group students who were taught according to mathematical modeling, and control group students who were taught in the traditional method.

Then, the researchers constructed an achievement test comprising of (20) multiple choice items distributed on the three levels of Bloom's taxonomy (knowledge, comprehension, application).

The validity of the scale was verified via presenting it to a group of experts and its reliability was verified by Pearson correlation coefficient.

Moreover, the scale was corrected via Spearman-Brown equation and, as well, difficulty coefficient and items recognition coefficient were found out.

After implementing the test to the research sample of the test and control groups and analyzing the data using the t-test equation, it was found that there were statistically significant differences at the level of (0.05) between the average grades of test group students who were taught according to mathematical modeling and those of control group students who were taught in the traditional method in favor of the test group.

Thus, the researchers recommend the use of mathematical modelling in teaching intermediate school students.
