أثر استخدام نموذج بيري و كيرين (Pirie and Kieren)‎ للفهم الرياضي في الاستدلال المنطق و خفض العبء المعرفي لدى طلاب الصف السابع الأساسي في الأردن

Abstract EN

This study was conducted to identify the effect of using Pirie and Kieren mathematical understanding model on deductive reasoning and lowering cognitive load amongst K7 Jordanian students.

The study sample comprised (54) K7 students from two different public schools in the Jordanian Governorate of Zarqa.

Students were randomly selected and divided into two groups: the experimental group of (33) students using Pirie and Kieren Model and the control group employing the classical teaching method.

The researcher developed a deductive reasoning test and a cognitive load test and ensured their reliability and validity prior to their administration.

A teaching method guide illustrating how to use Pirie and Kieren model was also prepared.

Findings revealed that the experimental group surpassed the control group in the overall mathematical understanding performance and deductive reasoning, including related skills; namely, proportional reasoning, probabilistic reasoning, deductive reasoning and variables' control.

Results also showed that cognitive load amongst students of the experimental group was less than that of the control group.
