Estimating the ability of mathematics male and female teachers of the mathematical conceptions taught by them in the primary stage
Abstract
/ :- / .- / - / (60) (28) (32) . (56) 12/1/2006 74% 56% 59% .The research aims at investigating the ability level of mathematics male and female teachers of the mathematical conceptions, and is there a statistical difference in the ability level of mathematics male and female teachers of the mathematical conceptions? By answering the questions made in the researchs problem, such as: 1. What is the extent of the mathematics male and female teachers ability in giving a whole definition of the mathematical conceptions? 2. What is the extent of the mathematics male and female teachers ability in giving a correspondence and un-correspondence examples of the mathematical conception?3. What is the extent of the mathematics male and female teachers ability in making questions about the conception? (60) mathematics male and female teachers were selected (28) male teachers and (32) female teachers, the two researchers used a tool to estimate the extent of treating with the mathematical conception by giving a whole definition of the conception and also giving a correspondence and an un-correspondence examples and making questions concerning the mathematical conception. The test consisted of (56) conceptions took from the conceptions found in mathematical books of the primary stage, the appearance truth and test fixing have been confirmed by using the style of re-testing after ten days of its first application, the tool was applied on 12/January/2006, on the sample in Open Education College for the plenty of testing and monitoring halls, and after analyzing the data, it was found that the rate of giving a sample about the high conception was (47%), while the rate of giving a correspondence and making a question about the conception was equaled (56%), and the rate of giving a definition was (59%), these rates were never be in the desired level of the mathematics male and female teachers. In the light of these results, the two researchers presented a number of recommendations and suggestions to complete the present research.
