أثر استخدام أنموذج بكستون في اكتساب المفاهيم الرياضية لدى طلبة الصف الاول المتوسط واتجاهاتهم نحو الرياضيات

Abstract

Abstract :

   The aim of this study is to identify (the effect of using Buxton model in acquiring mathematical concepts among intermediate first grade students and attitudes toward mathematics). The researchers chose first grade students randomly from Badir Shaker Al-Sayab School. Twenty students from section A were chosen as the experimental group and twenty two students from section B as the control group. Buxton paradigm was applied to the experimental group in teaching the integers chapter. Teaching plans were set for both groups. A test, to acquire mathematical concepts and measure the trend attitudes mathematics, was constructed. Those plans and tests were presented to a group of experts and specialists in methods of teaching mathematics to prove reliability; reliability of the tests and the measurement plus finding the coefficient difficulty and distinguishing factor of the test. After applying the test and the measure to the groups, the results showed statistical differences between the two groups in acquiring mathematical concepts for the experimental group. Besides, the lack of statistically differences between students in the experimental group and the lack of statistically significant differences between the groups in the scale of the trend toward mathematics. There are statistical differences for the male students in the experimental group.  The researchers concluded that Buxton paradigm is important in acquiring mathematical concepts among intermediate students. The researchers recommended using Buxton model in secondary schools.
