The effect of using the search strategy for the other half on the acquisition of concepts in mathematics among fifth-grade students

Abstract

The goal of the research is to identify the effect of using the search strategy for the other half on the acquisition of concepts in mathematics for fifth grade students. The experiment was applied to a sample of (60) male and female students, the experimental group (30) male and female students, and the control group (30) male and female students. Fifth grade primary school in (Al-Shumous Elementary Mixed School) for the academic year (2020-2021) AD, the two groups covered the variables (intelligence, previous knowledge, chronological age calculated in months, previous achievement in mathematics, academic achievement for the parents), and the research tools represented were built In the (acquisition of mathematical concepts test), as it was composed of (21) objective paragraphs, and the difficulty factor, discrimination and effectiveness of the wrong alternatives to the test items were verified, and after the end of the experiment, the mathematical concepts acquisition test was applied, and the results of the research showed the presence of a statistically significant difference at a significant level (0.05) between the mean scores of the experimental group students and those of the control group students in the test of acquiring mathematical concepts as a whole, in favor of the experimental group
