The effectiveness of the (Modified SCMP) model in mathematical originality and the attitude of sixth grade students towards mathematical proof

Abstract

     The current research aims to identify the effectiveness of Modified Skemp Model in mathematical originality and attitude of the scientific sixth grade students towards mathematical proof, experimental design of a post-test and partial adjustment of two unequal groups (experimental and control group) was used , the sample of research consist of (55) students from scientific sixth grade students  from Ibn   Al-Haitham High `School for Boys located in Qadisiyah  province, the students were distributed randomly into two groups, one experimental consisting of   (28) students studying by (Modified Skemp Model) and the other as control group consisting  of (27) students studying by  the usual way.

Both of  groups equivalences   in the variables: (chronological age, intelligence, the previous information in math and achievement in math in the last year) experience   Applied in the first semester of the academic year (2015 - 2016)  one of the researchers studied two groups of research, researchers applied the tools of research (math’s originality test consist of (12) subjective items, and the other tool was ( measurement  of attitude  toward mathimatical  proof which consisted of (33) items.

Researchers used a number of appropriate statistical methods to the research objectives, whether for its procedures or the analysis of its results.

The search results showed There are  existing differences between the two  groups experimental and control in the variables of   math’s originality and attitude  towards  mathematical proof in behalf the experimental group

     In light of the findings of research the researchers reached to several conclusions, recommendations and proposals.
