The impact of the visual teaching strategy on the achievement of biology and the development of science processes among the first intermediate grade students

Abstract

The Effectiveness of the Visual Teaching strategy in Biology achievement and developing
the scientific processes of the first – year female students .
This research aims at the impact of the visual teaching strategy on the achievement in
Biology and developing the scientific processes of the first – year female students . year secondary
female students through proving the following two hypotheses :
1- There is no difference in the statistical sign at the sign level (0.05) between the average of
female students' achievement marks in the experimental group and the average of the female
students' achievement marks in the control group .
2- There is no difference in the statistical sign at the sign level (0.05) between the average of
the pre-test . and post-test . of the scientific processes of the female in the experimental group and
average of the pre-test . and post-test . of the scientific processes of the female students in the
control group.
Al-Aamal secondary school in Baquba has been choosen intentially as the experiment field .
The research sample consist of (70) female students from the first – year secondary school who are
divided in to two equal groups . Then the equivalence was found . Then the experiment is applied
from 8-10-2012 to 23-12-2012 .
The researcher has prepared two tests the first one is an achievement post-test which consist
(40) items from the type of multiple – choice test , and the second is the scientific processes test
which consist the eighth Basic scientific processes , for this there are (24) items .
After the statistical Analysis was found , the achievement test reliability has been found by
using half – split method , and the scientific processes reliability has been found by using alfa
chronbach , formula .
The results have been analyzed which show the female students excellence in the
experimental group more than the female students in the control group in each of achievement and
scientific processes .
The researcher submitted a number of conclusions , recommendations and suggestions .
