أثر أسلوبي المحاكاة و الرسوم التوضيحية في تنمية الوعي البيئي لدى طفل الروضة

Abstract EN

The present research aims at identifying the effect of imitation and illustration on the development of kindergarten children’s environmental consciousness.

The aims of the study are: 1.

There are no statistically significant difference between the average of the scores of the first experimental group which uses the imitation method in the pre-test and post-test as environmental consciousness measure.

2.

There are no statistically significant difference between the average of the scores of the second experimental group which uses the illustration method in the pre-test and post-test as environmental consciousness measure.

3.

There are no statistically significant difference between the average of the scores of the first experimental group and control group as environmental consciousness measure after using the imitation method.

4.

There are no statistically significant difference between the average of the scores of the second experimental group and control group as environmental consciousness measure after using the illustration method.

5.

There are no statistically significant difference between the average of the scores of the first and second experimental groups after using the imitation and illustration methods.

The study sample consisted of (45) boys & girls from Al-Areej kindergarten(second Karkh district) in Baghdad for the academic year 2006- 2007.

The researcher deperdedon experimental design related to the randomly selected control group, The study sample divided into two experimental groups and a third control group , each comprising15 children.

The first experimental group was trained on the imitation method, while the second experimental group was trained on the illustration method.

.The control group was left without any training.

The program was made up of (22) sessions,( 3) sessions a week.

The application period was( 6)weeks.

The process data according to Wilcoxon Matched Pared Signed Ranks- Test, the Ki square Test ,The environmental consciousness scale was prepared and the validity of its items was verified by submitting it to experts, and reliability was found to be (0.87).

the following results: - The first experimental group showed an increase in environmental consciousness in the post-test when compared with the result of the pretest.

The difference was statistically significant at 0.05.

- The second experimental group showed an increase in environmental consciousness in the post-test when compared with the result of the pretest.

The difference was statistically significant at 0.05.

- The difference in the environmental consciousness scores between the two groups(first experimental group and control group) in the post-test was statistically significant at 0.05 in favor of the first experimental group.

- The difference in the environmental consciousness scores between the two groups(second experimental group and control group) in the post-test was statistically significant at 0.05 in favor of the second experimental group.

- The difference in the environmental consciousness scores between the two experimental groups(first and second) in the post-test was statistically significant at 0.05 in favor of the first experimental group.
