Abstract:
ويهدف البحث الحالي الى تعرف اثر استراتيجية المتشابهات في اكتساب المفاهيم الجغرافية لدى طالبات الصف الاول المتوسط. وتحدد بطالبات الصف الاول المتوسط. ولغرض التحقق من هدف البحث تم صياغة الفرضيتين الصفرية الاتيتين : - 1 - "ليس هناك فرق ذو دلالة احصائية عند مست | Represented The importance of the current research is represented as it was commensurate with the requirements of the great development in the global education system and our education system, in particular, which focuses on the concepts as a basis for learning in teaching, and because this problem is not new one , but , actually , the methods of processing are still characterized by a lot of shortcomings in the present time, because of the great increase in the accumulated knowledge, however , the need to search for the most suitable ways and means to deliver information to students which requires the use of an effective and planned strategies so as to make Learning Process more interesting and enjoyable for students , as well , to raise their motivation to learn, and to make it easier for students to acquire concepts in geography classes, in particular, and a better way so the researcher considers to use similar strategies to support and assist students in acquiring geographical concepts. This research aims to identify the impact of similarities in the acquisition strategy of geographical concepts for Intermediate first - grade girl students. And to determine the average first - grade female students in the city of Baghdad / Educational Directorate in II Rusafa for the academic year (2014 - 2015). For the purpose of verification the aim of the research formulation of Two Zero hypotheses was formulated as following cases : - 1 - There is no statistical significant difference at the level (0.05) between the average scores of the experimental group of girl students who are studying strategy of similarities and the controlled group girl students who are studying the same subject in the usual way, in paragraphs of geographical concepts in the post - test for the purpose of acquisition the geographical concepts.2 - There is no statistical significant difference at the level (0.05) between the average scores of the experimental group girl students who are studying strategy of similarities and the controlled group girl students who are studying the same subject in the usual way in the post - test for the acquisition of geographical concepts."In order to achieve the aim of the research , researcher has relied on the experimental method of equivalent group, which includes two groups, the experimental group and the controlled group, as the research sample has formed of 70 girl students from the first grade of Intermediate school randomly selected at (Al Khalidat Secondary School For Girls) located in Al (Baladiyat District) , members were randomly distributed and assigned into to two main groups (experimental and controlled group) Experimental one has included (35) thirty five girl students which were taught the strategy of similarities, on other hand , the controlled group has included (35) Thirty five girl students who were taught the usual way. The researcher has rewarded the two groups experience (sample of study ) statistically by adjusting variables (chronological age, intelligence and grades the previous year in Iraq geographical subject and prior knowledge of the girl students in geography classes, and educational attainment of the parents). The researcher has Identified the scientific subject in the first chapter of the academic year (2013 - 2014) in the geographical subject , it has contained the first three chapters from the book of the general geographical principles for first grade which were studied by the researcher herself.Furthermore , the researcher has identified all the major and sub concepts which included the first three chapters The formulation of the concept acquisition targets for this class according to acquire the concept of levels was implemented (definition , discrimination, and application). The researcher has prepared a teaching plan for the controlled group, and a teaching plan for the experimental group. Experience has lasted for (43 forty three days), as the researcher has studied the couple groups of research, at the end of the experiment , a tool of sample was applied for this sample to acquire post concepts which was prepared by the researcher to form the final shape (40) forty paragraphs of multiple - choice with four alternatives were , as validity and reliability coefficient of discrimination and difficulty and effectiveness of alternatives were depended and accounted as well for this test and treated the results by using samples t - test (t - test) for two independent samples the researcher has adopted on other statistical methods such as Pearson correlation coefficient, however , the results showed the superiority of girl students in the experimental group who studied according to similarities against the controlled girl students group who taught according to the traditional method of testing to acquire post concepts.Accordance to the research results , researcher has concluded the following recommendations : 1 - Emphasizing on teachers to use the strategic similarities in some of the concepts in social studies, for its positive impact on the acquisition of concepts among girl students.2 - Increasing geography books prescribed in different educational levels of educational activities which are prepared according to strategy of similarities , in the form of questions.3 - Confirm the educational supervisors during their visit to teachers of Geography for the importance of using the closest examples within the student environment, without focusing on teaching aids comic or three - dimensional and prepared by the students sometimes for getting additional degrees.The researcher has developed several proposals as follow1. A similar study of the current study in other stages of seminars and classes.2. Study to determine the impact of the teaching for the strategy of geographical concepts and similarities offset by other strategies such as differentiated education strategy.3. Study on the impact of strategy of similarities in other variables, such as a critical thinking, and creative one ,.... etc.4. Balanced study between the impact of the use of geographical similarities strategy in teaching high marks students achievement, and middle - attainment, and low achievement one.5. Holding descriptive study about the reality of awareness and use of teachers for the strategy and the use of analogies of surrounding environment.
