The effect of the modified learning cycle (‘7E S) on acquiring mathematical concepts among fifth grade female students

Abstract

This research seeks to identify the effect of the learning cycle
amended (7E'S) in the acquisition of mathematical concepts to the pupils
of the fifth grade . Through testing the following null hypothesis (no
statistically significant difference at 0.50 level of significance between
the scores of pupils who are studying , according to the learning cycle
amended (7E'S) and degrees of pupils who are studying in the usual way
to acquire mathematical concepts ) . The research is limited on the
mathematical concepts contained in the first chapters ( groups ) and the
second ( lines and angles ) of the math book for fifth grade of primary
school year ( 2013-2014 ) m . The researchers adopted the experimental
design a post-test to two groups ( experimental , control group ) . Having
identified Qsidia primary School rivers Girls Primary / General
Directorate for Educational Diyala province to implement the experiment
where , represented one of the two divisions namely Division (b ) of the
experimental group that taught her students on according to the learning
cycle amended (7E'S), other Division (a) has represented the controlling
group who was teaching her students in the usual way , and by (22 ), a
pupil in each group. Rewarded the two groups in the variables (
chronological age , achievement of last year 's experience , conceptual
collection ) . To measure the impact of the learning cycle amended (7E'S)
in the acquisition of mathematical concepts to the pupils the fifth grade ش
a test was built to show the acquisition of concepts in the level of aspects
of the acquisition of the concept of the three ( translation, interpretation ,
interpolation ) and thus identified (12) question for each question three
branches represent respectively ( translation , interpretation , completion )
on the concept . After the test application and data processing statistically
using Chi-square test , the results of the research are: ( the presence of a
statistically significant difference between the two sets of research in the
acquisition of concepts for the benefit of pupils of the experimental group
) . In light of the search result researchers to reach a number of
recommendations and suggestions
