Abstract:
The present research aims at (adjusting the content of mathematics textbooks in the intermediate stage in the light of the international quality standards from the point of view of teachers). In order to achieve this aim, the researcher has used the descriptive analytical approach in this research. The population of the research consists of the male and female teachers who teach mathematics for the first, second and third intermediate classes in Dyala governorate. However, the population of the present research consists of (300) teachers where (50%) of the original population is chosen randomly categorically to represent the sample of the research, namely (150) male and female teachers.The researcher has determined the international standards for the first, second and third intermediate classes through comparing the goals and the mathematics textbooks of the intermediate stage in Iraq with the international standards in order to determine the standards specific for each class in the intermediate stage so that, we can determine the availability of the international standards in these curricula through introducing a pilot questionnaire to a number of experts as well as through exploring the educational literature, modern standards, and the international standards of mathematics represented by the standards of The American National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (N.C.T.M.). Where the tool of the research is a questionnaire that consists of four fields namely, (numbers and the operations : algebra, relations, geometry and measurements, data analysis and statistics and probability). They involve (14) criteria and (95) indicators for the first intermediate class; (71) indicators for the second intermediate class and (61) indicators for the third intermediate class. They are ascertained by using face validity, construction validity and by using Alpha Cronbach formula where the average reliability coefficient for the first class is (0.96), for the second class is (0.94) and for the third class is (0.94).The content analysis for the mathematics textbooks of the intermediate classes has been conducted by using a questionnaire with two alternatives (available and not available). Where the dataof content analysis has been manipulated according to the teacher opinions by using Chai square in order to know the degree of the criteria availability and then depending on the available criteria in order to make adjusting on them according to a questionnaire with three alternatives (often, sometimes and rarely). The data of adjusting the content has been treated according to the teachers' opinions by using the weighted average and the percentile weight in order to know the percentage of the availability of the international standards.The number of the available indicators for the first intermediate class is (36); for the second intermediate class is (21) and for the third intermediate class is (19) indicators. In the light of the afore - mentioned results, they has stated the following : 1 - The percentage of the international standards availability is nearly about (30% - 38%) in terms of the international standards.2 - The little available percentage of international standards attain the quality with different percentage extend from (82%) to (95%).In the light of the research results, the researcher has put forward a number of recommendations, the most important of which are : 1 - Re - considering the mathematics textbooks in the intermediate stage so that they can be in accordance with the international standards.2 - Taking into consideration the unavailable standards according the research results that appear in low percentages and trying to incorporate them in mathematics textbooks.Finally, the researcher has put a number of suggestions, such as, conducting a periodical and continuous adjusting for mathematics textbooks in the intermediate and secondary schools according to the international standard quality.
