The aim of the research is to find out the degree of learners' Involvement in the book (Arabic is my language) for the sixth grade in the Syrian Arab Republic by: presenting the educational material, the educational activities, educational pictures a
nd drawings, and the closing exercises. To achieve the goal of the research; The researcher adopted the descriptive and analytical method, and chose from the book (102) pages containing (685) units of analysis. Then he analyzed it according to the data of the Rumi and Shahrum equations, which consider the book to be effective if the coefficient of Involvement is within the range (0.4 - 1.5). The research concluded the following results:
The coefficient of involvement reached through the presentation of the educational material (1.63), and through the educational activities it reached (2.69), and through the educational pictures and drawings it reached (2.43), and through the final exercises it reached (2.33). As for the coefficient of socialism for the whole book, it reached (2.27), and this value is high, and it exceeds the maximum acceptable limit for inclusion (1.5). That is, the book is more than the scientific material that requires the learner to investigate and research compared to the material that does not require it.
Based on the results of the research, the researcher presented a set of recommendations and proposals related to the necessity of adopting the parameters of Involvement when selecting educational content, and the necessity of conducting more studies in this area.
The aim of the research was to investigate the level of environmental awareness among
sixth graders’ students in light of the gender variables and the cultural level of the mother.
In order to achieve this goal, the descriptive approach was used, a
nd the "environmental
awareness" scale was prepared. After verifying its validity, it was distributed to a sample of
140 students and students from the sixth grade school in Lattakia in 2017/2018.
The results showed that the level of awareness among the sixth grade students was
average. There were no statistically significant differences among the sixth grade in terms
of environmental awareness due to sex, while there were statistically significant
differences due to the cultural level of the mother in favor of students whose mothers have
university degrees.
The purpose of the research was to identify the level of reasoning
thinking in a sample of students in the sixth grade for the academic
year 2016-2017. The effect of the sex variable (male and female)
was defined on their levels.
The present study aimed at evaluating the styles of the mathematics teachers which
help to develop thinking skills of the sixth grade students at the basic education in Lattakia,
and it also aimed at examining the significance of differences among
the means average of
teachers who practice the encourage methods to thinking skills of students according to
variables of (gender, Experience and the scientific qualification). To achieve this goal, the
descriptive approach was used. And an assessment scale of the teacher's style of
developing thinking was prepared for evolution. After proving its validity and stability
according to the known statistical methods, the scale was applied to a sample of 30
teachers (males and females).
The results were as follows:
- The degree of mathematics teachers concerning their practices of developing
thinking methods of the of the sixth graders at the basic education in Lattakia was (54.2%)
which was represented first by providing the interactive social environment (58.4%), and
second it was represented to (53.6%) for the method of listening to students and respecting
their views whatever they were simple, and third it was represented to (51%) concerning
the teacher' using modern to modern teaching strategies.
- There are no statistical significant differences between the teachers' responses on
the teacher practice scale of developing thinking methods due to the variable of gender,
scientific certificate, and the years of experience.
The two researchers suggested developing of the mathematics guide book of the
sixth grade, and developing programs of preparing and training teachers to improve the
levels of thinking by students such as analysis, synthesis, criticism and weight-bearing
skills, in addition to holding training sessions to in-service teachers in order to activate the
teaching practices methods that encourage developing thinking, and they also suggested
applying similar studies depending on the observation card at different teaching stages by
other subjects teachers.
