The effectiveness of the mantle of the expert strategy in the achievement of fourth-grade students in biology

Abstract

The research aims is to identify the effectiveness of the expert’s mantle strategy in the achievement of fourth grade students in science in biology. The research sample included two groups, one of which was the experimental group and the number of its students was (31) students, and the other represented the control group and the number of its students was (32) students. By random drawing method the researchers chose (Kutha Preparatory School for Boys) from the research community represented by the secondary and middle schools which are affiliated to the Directorate of Education of Babylon Governorate / Kutha District. The researchers chose the experimental design to control the research variables, and before starting the experiment, the researchers rewarded the two research groups for the purpose of obtaining an accurate results with the following variables: (chronological age calculated in months, previous achievement of students, and Daniels test of intelligence). After making parity between the two research groups, the researchers prepared the requirements of the application of plans, objectives and tests for the two research groups, and after completing the application of the experiment, the researchers applied their research tool to the two research groups. Two researchers had data for the two research groups, as those data were processed statistically by (t-test) for two independent samples. The results showed that the experimental group outperformed the control group students according to the expert’s cloak strategy in an academic achievement .
