A Program Based on Interactive Electronic Activities and Its Impact on Analytical Thinking and Cognitive Flexibility Among Primary School Students
Abstract
The aim of the research was to reveal the effect of a program based on electronic interactive activities on analytical thinking and cognitive flexibility among primary school students. To achieve the goal, the researcher relied on the experimental method with a quasi-experimental design based on two experimental groups. The sample consisted of (60) female students from the sixth grade of primary school. The analytical thinking test and the cognitive flexibility scale were used. The results showed that there was a statistically significant difference at the significance level (0.05) between the average scores of the students in the experimental group who studied mathematics according to the program based on electronic interactive activities and the scores of the students in the control group who studied the same subject in the usual way in the analytical thinking test.
The results also showed that there is a statistically significant difference between the average scores of the experimental group students who studied mathematics according to the program based on electronic interactive activities and the scores of the control group students who studied the same subject using the traditional method in the cognitive flexibility scale. The researcher made several recommendations, including training educational bodies to use a program based on electronic interactive activities in teaching mathematics due to its great effectiveness in raising students' analytical thinking skills. There are also a number of proposals, including a proposed program to train mathematics teachers on electronic interactive activities and its impact on students' mathematical thinking.
