The Effect of Teaching Physics Using the Caroll Model in Achievement and Mental Habits of Third Grade Students

Abstract

The Current research aims to identify the effect of teaching physics by using Caroll Model in the achievement & habits of mind of the third intermediate Grade Students, the researcher selected A- Sadiq Al-Ameen intermediate school for boys belonging to the General Directorate of Education Rusafa-2 intentionally from the research community for the first semester of the academic year 2016-2017 , The sample consisted of 60 students in twe classes randomly selected from four classes to represent the experimental and control group with ( 30 ) Students in each group , The researcher prepared the requirements of the experiment, including the identification of the Scientific material , the formulation of the behavioral objectives , the experimental & control group, the three groups were rewarded in the following variables , the chronological age of the months , the degree of physics for the second grade-second semester , the degree of the habits of the mind , the experimental group was taught using the Caroll model & the control group in the usual way , the research tools applied the achievement test in the physics material consisting of ( 20 ) objective paragraphs of the type of multiple choice & the psychometric properties were extracted, As for the measure of the habits of the mind, the researcher adopted the ( Turehi & Haidar ) scale ,which includes 16 mental habits, after verifying the validity and stability, and after the completion of teaching the methodological book, test and the measurement of the habits of the mind were applied on two groups and using statistical methods of difficulty coefficient of discrimination power equation and T-test and Person Correlation Coefficient and K-R 20 equation ,to analyze the results showed that the experimental group Students outperformed the Students of the control group in each of the test cognitive and measurement habits of mind, According to this situation, the researcher developed a number of recommendation and suggestion
