The effectiveness of the circular house plan strategy in acquiring biological concepts among the second intermediate grade students

Abstract

Summary
The current research aims to identify the effectiveness of the circular house plan strategy in
The acquisition of biological concepts among the students of the second intermediate grade through checking the
The following hypothesis is valid:
There is no statistically significant difference at the level of significance (0.05) between the mean scores of
Students who study according to the circular house scheme strategy and average grades
Students who study in the usual way in acquiring biological concepts.
Al-Sadaqa average for boys was deliberately chosen as a field for the experiment
The research sample consisted of 62 students divided into two groups (experimental and control) equally.
Equivalence was conducted in each of intelligence, previous educational attainment, and age in months.
After preparing the research requirements, the experiment was applied as of 2/19/2012 and extended
Until 4/25/2012, two classes per week for each group, and the researcher studied
the two groups himself, and the biological concepts acquisition test was repeated, consisting of (60) items,
It included (20) concepts, and each concept had three test items (definition, distinction, and application).
It is a multiple choice type with four alternatives, and find its validity, difficulty coefficient and strength
Discrimination and effectiveness of wrong alternatives. Then find its stability by the half-partition method and apply
. 4/29/2012 Test day
The results were analyzed and it showed that the students of the experimental group outperformed the students
The control group in the acquisition of biological concepts.
Some conclusions, recommendations and suggestions were presented
