Abstract

The research aims to know the effectiveness of using the Palnaskar and Brown method in the achievement of the fifth literary students in the subject of Geography, and to verify the objective of the study, the researcher formulated the following hypothesis: - There are no statistically significant variations in the average grades of the experimental group pupils studying Geography at the level of significance (0.05). The research sample included fifth grade literary students in Nebuchadnezzar
High School for Boys affiliated with An Najaf General Directorate of Education for the academic year, using the Palnaskar and Brown method and students in the control group who study the same subject in the traditional way in the achievement test (2018-2019). The pupils were separated into two groups: those who participated in the experiment and those who did not. The experimental group received instruction utilizing the Palnaskar and Brown techniques, whereas the control group received
instruction in the traditional manner. After formulating the behavioral goals, which totaled (291) goals, the researcher created 36 instructional programs for both groups. The researcher also prepared an achievement test consisting of (50) test items of the type of multiple choice and its validity, stability and difficulty factor and discrimination were confirmed, and then parity was made between the two groups in the variables of chronological age, previous academic achievement and intelligence, and after
the researcher applied the experiment on 16/10/2018 and finished the experiment on 16/1/2019, then the researcher applied the post achievement test, and after correcting the answers, he came up with a number of results after analyzing them statistically using the T-test for two independent samples, and the findings displayed the superiority of the group’s students Experimental on control group students. This is due to the positive effect of using the Palnaskar and Brown method in teaching Geography
and its impact on students' academic achievement. The researcher also recommended the adoption of Palnaskar and Brown's strategy in teaching Geography for the fifth literary grade and the necessity of paying attention to teaching Geography. The researcher recommended that a study comparable to the case study be conducted in additional individuals, as well as a study to determine the impact of utilizing Panskar and Brown on creative thinking and concept acquisition.
