فاعلية الاستراتيجيات المعرفية في تعزيز البراعة الرياضية ومهارات حل المشكلات لدى طلاب الصّف الأوّل المتوسط في مادة الرياضيات

Abstract

The aim of the research is to identify the effectiveness of cognitive strategies in Enhancing mathematical proficiency and problem-solving skills among first-year middle school students in mathematics. The quasi-experimental approach was used, and the research sample consisted of (43) students. To achieve the research objectives, two tools were constructed: the mathematical proficiency test and the problem-solving test, and appropriate statistical methods were used for each of the two tests.The results showed the effectiveness of cognitive strategies in Enhancing mathematical proficiency and problem-solving skills among first-year middle school students, as the results showed that the experimental group outperformed the control group in the mathematical proficiency and problem-solving tests. In light of these results, several recommendations were presented, including: adopting cognitive strategies as an effective teaching method, and holding training courses for teachers. Some proposals were also presented, including: conducting studies based on cognitive strategies in developing a set of skills among different samples of learners.
