فاعلية استراتيجية التعلم المبني على المشكلة في تدريس الأحياء على التحصيل الدراسي و الاحتفاظ بالتعلم لدى طالبات الصف العاشر

Abstract

The study aimed at identifying the effect of using problem based learning strategy on pupils' achievement and learning retention of the lOth grade female pupils. To achieve the above aim, the sample was divided into two groups: control group taught by normal method and it consisted of ( 61) students. The second group was an experimental group taught by problem based learning strategy and it consisted of (62) students. A multiple choice test consisted of (30) items in its final version was used to investigate pupils' achievement and learning retention. The test was validated through a panel of judges and the reliability was calculated by Alfa Cronbach for internal consistency method which gives the value of(0.76). The results showed that there was a statically significant difference in the mean scores between the experimental group and the control group in achievement in favor of the experimental group. Moreover, the results showed there was a statically significant difference in the mean scores between the experimental group and the control group in retention in favor of the experimental group. A number of recommendations and suggestions were proposed in light of the above results, such as encouraging science teachers to use problem based learning strategy in their teaching, training these teachers how to use such strategy in their teaching and conducting more research in this area at different class levels and for other teaching and learning variables.
