أثر استخدام نماذج كيجن (kagan) في التعلم التعاوني لتنمية مهارات التواصل الرياضي في مقرر الرياضيات لدى تلميذات الصف الرابع الابتدائي بجدة
This study aimed to identify the impact of (Kagan) models in cooperative learning structure for the development of Math communication skills in mathematics course to the fourth-grade student in Jeddah. The target unit content has been analyzed and a teacher manual was prepared which includes the steps of selected (Kagan) models, and then arbitrated. Also, study tools which includes a test to measure the math communication skills (writing and representing), and an observation card for mathematic communication skills (reading, speaking and listening). The study sample consisted of (64) students from the fourth elementary grade. This study used the quasi-experimental approach where the study sample was divided into two groups control and experimental, and after the pre-application of tools on the study groups, the researcher applied (Kagan) models only on the experimental group and observing the two groups during the teaching of the unit, and then the post-application on both of the two groups. After collecting data and analyzing it, the study found a number of results. The most important was that there are statistically significant differences at the level of less than (0.05) between the scores means of experimental and control groups for the test and observation card of math communication skills in favor of the experimental group which indicates that the (Kagan) models in Cooperative learning have a positive impact on the development of math communication skills of students, and in the light of this, the researcher recommended the need for attention to (Kagan) models and to be added as teaching method by those who are in charge of curriculum development, and training teachers on how to use them. The researcher also recommended to conduct a number of studies, including the study of (Kagan) models impact on cooperative learning in different branches of mathematics and the various stages of education, as well as its impact in the development of math communication skills on backward and slow-learners, and the development of multiple intelligences in the primary stage.
