The use of the generative learning strategy in the achievement of fourth-grade students in mathematics and the development of their formal thinking

This study aims at knowing of the use of The use of strategy of obstetrical learning in the achievement of fourth grade students in mathematics and developing their formal thinking. To achieve the goal of the research .three null hypotheses were formulated:In order to verify the hypotheses of the research .an intentional sample was selected from the students of the fourth scientific grade at Awat Secondary School for Girls in Erbil Governorate in (2021-2022) The study target included (57) students divided into two groups: one is experimental (29) students who studied by the strategy of obstetrical learning. and another organized one (28) students who studied by the normal method. Both groups in a number of variables.The research required two instrument test in Mathematics which has(10)objective items. and checked the consistency and difficulty coefficient in addition to the activity of the error alternative of the test questions.As for the second tool . it is a ready test for formal thinking prepared by al-Mawla in (2011). In its final form . it consists of (19)optional paragraphs distributed over (9) areas of abstract mental abilities . and the researcher contented himself with extracting his sincerity and stability . If the pre-test for formal reasoning was conducted for the students of the research sample on Tuesday (17-11-2021)That experiment was applied on Thursday(18-11-2021) and ended on Sunday(19-12-2021) The score test was done on Monday (20-12-2021). And formal thinking test Tuesday(21-12-2021)followed by the analysis of the results and a program (SPSS). The statistical treatment by t-test showed that there was a statistically significant difference between the two research groups in the achievement of mathematics and the development of formal thinking and in favor of the experimental group. Based on this study outcomes. the researcher came out with a number of conclusions and recommendations. and suggested a set of complementary studies for this research .
