The Impact of Using the Strategy of Differentiated Learning in Teaching Mathematics to Improve Mathematical Strength and Logical Mathematical Intelligence for Tenth Grade Female Students – Taiz Governorate

Abstract

The study aims at identifying the impact of using the strategy of differentiated learning in teaching Mathematics to improve mathematical strength and logical mathematical intelligence for Tenth Grade female students – Taiz Governorate. To achieve the aim of the study، the researcher uses the descriptive method and the semi-experimental method which is designed for two groups; experimental and standard with prior and subsequent measurements. The sample of the study consist of sixty female students at Al-Fath School، Al-Batena village، Qadas District. The researcher intentionally divides the students into two experimental groups. The first group consists of thirty students and is divided according to the strategy of differentiated learning. The second group consists of thirty students and is divided according to the standard strategy. The researcher uses the structure of mathematical strength test and the structure of logical mathematical intelligence test. The reliability of the tools is tested and could be implemented. The result of the study shows the following: There are statistical differences with the level of the significance(α=0.05) among the averages of the prior and subsequent implementation of the experimental group for the subsequent implementation of the mathematical strength skills test. There are statistical differences with the level of the significance (α=0.05) among the averages of the prior and subsequent implementation of the experimental group for the subsequent implementation of the logical mathematical intelligence skills test. There is a strong positive correlation of 98. D significance with the level of the significance (α=0.05) between the marks of the students of the experimental group for the subsequent implementation of the mathematical strength test and their marks in the logical mathematical test. The study recommends that it is necessary to use the strategy of differentiated learning in teaching Mathematics for secondary schools. It also recommends that teachers of Mathematics are to be trained to use this strategy because it has a positive impact to improve mathematical strength and logical mathematical intelligence. In addition، the study recommends further research to be conducted in this regard in order to measure the different variables in different levels and courses.
