The effect of a Developed Educational Unit based on a Brain-based Learning Strategies to develop Productive Thinking in Mathematics among Middle School Students

Abstract

     The study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a developed educational unit based on the brain-based learning strategies to develop  productive thinking in mathematics for second-grade intermediate students, and the study followed the quasi-experimental approach, To collect the data, the researcher used the Productive Thinking Test in Mathematics in the unit (Relative Numbers), and a sample of (37) students from the second grade intermediate students of Dar Al Baraa Private School, They are divided into two groups, one representing the experimental group, consisting of (19) students, and the other representing the control group, consisting of (18) students.

     The results of the study revealed the existence of statistically significant differences at the level (0.05 ≥ a) between the mean scores of the students of the experimental and control groups in the post-application of the productive thinking test in mathematics in favor of the experimental group, with a high, statistically significant effect size.
