A proposed concept to improve the students’ outcomes in international mathematics tests in the view of teachers and supervisors

Abstract

The study aims to develop a proposed concept for improving student outcomes in international math tests from the perspective of teachers and supervisors. To achieve this goal, the descriptive curriculum was used in this study, where the questionnaire tool was used to collect data from a group of mathematics teachers and supervisors in the general education stages, a total of (127) teachers and supervisors affiliated with the Department of Education at Al-Majmaah, for the school year (1444). The study reached a set of results, the most important of which were: 1. There is an agreement among the study sample members, including the teachers and supervisors, on the obstacles, including the lack of the students' awareness of its national role in active participation in international tests, as well as the lack of the student's awareness of the basic skills in international tests, in addition to the weakness of the family's role in encouraging the student to take care of international tests. 2. There is approval among the study sample teachers and supervisors on the proposals, including spreading the culture of the importance of positive participation in international tests and its role in raising the name of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on social media sites, setting an appropriate and sufficient schedule to prepare for international tests, in addition to training the teacher to draft questions in a manner that simulates international tests. In light of these results, proposals were made to improve the students' results in the international tests of mathematics.
