فاعلية استراتيجية المنحى المبرمج في التحصيل والذكاءات المتعددة لدى طالبات الصف الأول المتوسط
The recent research aims to identify the effectiveness of programmed approach strategy on the achievement and multi-intelligences of first year intermediate female students in mathematics material. To achieve the goals of the research, the null hypotheses have been put as following: 1) There is no statistically significant difference at the level of significance 0.05 between the mean scores of students who were studying according to the programmed approach strategy and the mean scores of students who were studying according to the traditional method of teaching in the achievement test. 2) There is no statistically significant difference at the level of significance 0.05 between the mean scores of students who were studying according to the programmed approach strategy and the mean scores of students who were studying according to the traditional method of teaching in multi-intelligence. The sample consisted of 60 female students from the First grade at Noor Al-Eslam Middle school for Girls which belong to the Directorate of Education in Baghdad/ the first Rusafah ,for the First semester of the academic year 2014 -2015, and Chapters III , IV, and V of the math book scheduled for the First grade, section (B) consisting of 30 were selected to be the experimental group who were taught math material by Programmed approach strategy, and section (A) consisting of 30 were selected student to be the control group, who were taught math material by traditional method. The researcher adopted a partial control designs with posttest for both groups and used the experimental method. Both groups were equalized on the variables (test prior knowledge, previous achievement, intelligence test scores, age calculated in months, educational qualification of the parents). Having formulated behavioral objectives, the researcher studied both groups. These objectives covered the levels of (remembering, comprehension, application) in Bloom’s classification and the number of these objectives reached 170. The researcher prepared 45 lesson plan for each group included research topics, and prepared a test, achievement post-test consisting of 40 items. The validity and reliability were verified, the difficulty level and the discrimination power and the effectiveness of wrong alternatives for both test were calculated. The researcher constricts a scale for multi-intelligences, Based on the concept of Gardener theory in multi-intelligences, which is consisted of eight areas (linguistic, Logical–mathematical, Visual– spatial, Bodily–kinesthetic, Musical, Interpersonal, Intrapersonal, Naturalistic), and consist of 80 items and then its face validity content validity, the test reliability is found by using the person correlation coefficient, and calculated the discrimination power of scale’s items. The researcher used the equation of Cooder- Richardson (K-R20) to calculate the reliability coefficient of achievement post-test, and the equation of alpha- Cronbach to calculate the stability coefficient of the scale for multi-intelligence, the researcher also used the (t-Test) for two independent samples for data processing. The results were as follows: There is a statistically significant difference at the level of significance 0.05 between the mean scores of students of the experimental group and the control group in achievement test and in multi-intelligences. The researcher concluded that the adoption of programmed approach strategy have a positive impact in achievement and multi-intelligences in mathematics, the researcher made several recommendations, including that teachers of mathematics should depend on programmed approach strategy in teaching because of its positive impact on the achievement and the development of multi-intelligences, and encourage teachers to pay attention to the teaching multi-intelligence as an mental activity that helps to move the learn into the application. The researcher presented several suggestions, including conducting an identical study of the current study and to other phases of study and to different subjects, conduct a study on the use of programmed approach strategy in other variables like critical thinking and concepts acquisition and ability to solve problems.
