Title: Effect of Utilizing a Teaching Strategy Based on a Blending of Discovery
Learning and Electronic Learning in the Achievement of the Circle Unit.
Objective
of the Study: The study aimed to gauge the extent of the students' learning of
the circle unit when being taught through a strategy blending learning through
discovery and learning attained electronically.
Study
Methodology: The study followed the quasi- experimental method, which is based
upon the design of two groups: an experimental and an equivalent control group,
with the application of the pre- and postmeasurements to verify the validity of
the hypotheses with the aim of reaching a comprehensive understanding of the
extent of impact a teaching strategy based upon blending learning through
discovery and learning attained electronically might have on the achievement of
the students' learning of the circle unit.
Study
Population: They were the first-year secondary school students officially
registered for the year 1432/33 H. at the Gunfuthah Governorate.
Study
Sample: Consisted of Ibn Majah first – year secondary school students at Guz
center, Al-Gunfutha Governorate, for the school year 1432/33 H, and numbering
(51) students in all: (24) were in the control group studying according to the
traditional method; and (27) in the experimental group which had been taught
following the teaching strategy of blending learning through discovery and
learning electronically in their learning of the circle unit.
Study
Tools: 1. An achievement test measuring learning at Bloom's first two levels:
Recall and Comprehension. 2. The statistical treatment was performed using the
Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS).
Used
Statistical Techniques: t- test for comparing the mean scores of the
achievements of the experimental group students (who learned the circle unit
according to the investigated teaching strategy) and the control group students
(who had been taught the circle unit traditionally); Cronbach alph index for
reliability; Levene test to ensure variance homogeneity; and holisti agreement
equation.
Most
Important Results: There were statistically significant differences at the
level (0.001) between the experimental and control groups in behalf of the
experimental students who learned the circle unit according to a teaching
strategy based on blending learning earned through discovery and learning
gained electronically in respect of (1) total achievement (2) achievement of
the Recall Level and (3) achievement of the Comprehension Level.
Important
Recommendations:
1.
Stressing the need to employ the teaching strategy of blending learning through
discovery and learning through electronic devices when teaching the circle
unit, in place of the conventional method of instruction.
2.
Training mathematics teachers in designing computer softwares conducive to the
implementation of the strategy of blending learning by discovery with learning
gained electronically when teaching mathematics subject.
3. Working to restructure and
reformulate the contents of present mathematics subject in line with modern
instructional technology with the purpose of materializing mathematical
concepts making them more stimulating and motivating for self-learning.
