فاعلية استخدام إستراتيجية الأمواج المتداخلة أثناء تدريس مادة الجغرافيا في اكتساب مهارات التفكير الواقعي و تحسين الاتجاهات نحوها لدى طلاب الصف السادس الأساسي في الأردن

Abstract EN

The study aimed to examine the effectiveness of using the overlapping waves strategy during the teaching of geography lessons in acquiring realistic thinking skills and improving the attitudes towards geography in a sample of sixth grade students in Jordan using the quasi-experimental method.

The purposive method was used to select the study sample (n = 64) students, who were randomly assigned either to the experimental group (n = 32), taught geography lessons with the overlapping waves strategy method, or the control group (n = 32), taught geography lessons with the usual method.

The Realistic Thinking Skills Test (RTT) was prepared with its three dimensions, as well as the attitudes towards Geography Scale (AGS).

After verifying their validity and validity, the two instruments were applied to the sample as pre post intervention.

The results of the statistical analysis indicated that there were statistically significant differences at (α = 0.05) in the post test between the mean of the experimental group and the control group scores on the Realistic Thinking Skills Scale (RTS) and the Attitudes towards Geography Scale (AGS) in favor of the experimental group, indicating the efficiency of using the overlapping waves strategy used in the current study in geography teaching.
