Abstract:
The aims of current research is to identify : (the effectiveness of high - level thinking skills in the achievement of fifth literary grade students in geography and its retention.To achieve the goals of the research, the researcher has set up the following : two zeros hypotheses1 - There is no difference with statistical significance at the level of (0.05) between the average score achievement of the students of the experimental group, who study natural geography according to high - level thinking skills and the average score of students of the control group who study the same material in the traditional way in the test.2 - There is no difference with statistical significance at the level of (0.05) between the average score of the experimental group students who study natural geography according to high - level thinking skills and the average score of control group students who study the same material in the traditional method in the retention test.In order to verify the validity of these hypotheses, the researcher conducted an experiment that lasted a full semester (eight weeks). The experimental design was chosen with partial control (for the experimental and control groups). The research was limited to the fifth grade students in one of the schools of the General Directorate of Education in Babil Governorate (61) students with (31) students for the experimental group and (30) students for the control group. In the same way, the researcher chose (A) to represent the experimental group ,whose students studied using the independent variable, high - level thinking skills and (b) to represents the control group whose students studied in the traditional way, which did not face any independent variable. The researcher conducted a parity between the students of the two groups (experimental and control) in the following variables : (ageAcounted by months, educational level for parents, grades of geography in the test at end of the first course for the year (2016,2017), the previous information test scores,and the Danels test scores. After that ,the material was appointed which will be studied during the course of the experiment, last three chapters of the geography book to be taught for the fifth grade for the academic year 2016 - 2017The researcher formulated the behavioral objectives which amounted to (100) behavioral objectives for the subjects to be taught during the specified period which started on Monday (20/2/2017) and ended on Thursday (20/4/2017)The researcher prepared teaching plans (23 for each group) for the subjects to be taught during the duration of the experiment. The researcher presented two teaching plans to a selection of arbitrators and specialists to determine their validity. He taught the two research groups during the period of the experiment which lasted 8 weeks. After Experiment was over , the researcher prepared (a research tool), which was a final collection test for the two groups of research in the field of geography, consisting of (50) items (40) objective items of the multiple choice type and (10) paragraphs .The validity of contents and form were counted, the difficulty factor , the power of excellence and the effectiveness of wrong alternatives . The stability of the test was achieved in two ways : the first method (the midterm split) with the stability coefficient and after the correction by the Spearman - Brown equation The same test was repeated on both groups after 14 days on the test. The appropriate statistical methods were used. After the researcher applied the tests after the end of the teaching period. The results were statistically analyzed using the T - test for two independent samples. And the difference was statistically significant at the level ofBsignificance (0,05). In light of this result, the researcher recommended several recommendations : 1 - It is necessary to involve teaching staff in training courses outside the country.2 - Bring a high technology equipment from outside Iraq to develop educational institutions.3 - Exchange experiences with countries that have experiences in the development of thinking and skills to be able to benefit from these experiences in the development of curricula and teaching methods.4 - The general directorate of training in the ministry of education has to conduct an extended training courses to train teachers on the use of modern methods of teaching especially high - level thinking skills to achieve the desired educational goals.The researcher suggested the following : 1 - Conduct a similar study for the current study in other subject.2 - Conduct a similar study for the current study in other study stage.3 - Conducting the study of the effectiveness of teaching thinking skills of high - grade in the collection of geography and the development of creative thinking among students in the fifth literary grade.
