The Influence of Using the Strategy of Mental Blowing On The Acquisition and Lateral Thinking of the second Intermediate Pupils

Abstract

الخلاصة انكليزيPupils usually suffer from a decline in their acquisition in Mathematics; so their reaction to this subject is negative. When councils of fathers and teachers are held, teachers of mathematics complain that they are not given the opportunity to discuss the possible solutions. The teachers also accuse the pupils of negligence and inability to control the basics of mathematics. The conclusion shows the First Zero Hypothesis is refused. This means that the pupils of the experimental group who studied according to the Mental Blowing have excelled the pupils of the Regulating Group who studied according to the ordinary method in mathematics. The results agreed with the studies mentioned in the research. The conclusion also shows that the Second Zero Hypothesis is also refused. This means that the pupils of the experimental group who studied according to the Mental Blowing have excelled the pupils of the Regulating Group who studied according to the ordinary method in the test of lateral thinking. This result is logical since the strategy of Mental Blowing is based on principles and procedures that are so efficient in improving thinking generally and in creating new ideas particularly.
