Effectiveness of the Koskrov Model in Acquiring and Retaining Scientific Concepts Among Students of the Primary School Teaching Department in the Science Subject

Abstract

    The aim of the research is to identify the effectiveness of the Kuskrov model in acquiring scientific concepts and retaining them in the students of the first grade teacher department in the subject of science and in order to achieve the research goal, the researcher developed two zero hypotheses. The experimental research approach adopted a research approach for its suitability for the research objective and procedures, as the experimental design with two experimental equal groups and the control with the remote test was chosen in the acquisition and retention of scientific concepts, one of which partially adjusts the other. The experiment was applied to the students of basic education. The first grade teacher section, the first school, the first stage was deliberately selected from the departments of the Faculty of Basic Education, with a number of members (137) students, and were distributed to three classrooms. Hall A was randomly selected to represent the experimental group that was studied using the Kuskrov model and the number of students in it reached (47), and Hall B was chosen to represent the control group that studied according to the usual way and the number of students in it reached (46). To test the validity of the two zero hypotheses, the researcher prepared the test of the acquisition of scientific concepts, the number of paragraphs (60) objective paragraphs, It was applied to a first exploratory sample other than the basic research sample, the number of which was (44), the purpose of which was to determine the clarity of the test paragraphs, determine the time of answering them, extract the psychometric properties of the test, and then extract the stability factor. Using the T-test for two independent samples equal to the number, he obtained the following results:

- The students of the experimental group that were studied according to the Cuscrove model outperformed the students of the control group who studied according to the usual method in the scientific concept acquisition test, as it reached (t-test) nepotism (4.203), while the value of (t) the table (2,000) was at the level of significance (0.05).

- The students of the experimental group that studied according to the Koskrov model exceeded the students of the control group who studied according to the usual method of testing the retention of scientific concepts, as (t-test) amounted to nepotism (4.952), while the value of (t) reached (t) the table (2,000) at the level of significance (0,05).

  From these results, the researcher concluded that teaching Kuskrov's model is effective in acquiring and retaining scientific concepts among the students of the first grade teacher department in the subject of science. Accordingly, the researcher developed a number of recommendations and proposals related to the results of the research.
