Assessing the Efficiency of Snow Ball Strategy in the Achievement of the Physiology of Animals and Developing Scientific Thinking of the Students of Biology Department of College of Education of Al-Kadissiya University

Abstract

The present study aims at assessing the efficiency of snow ball strategy in the achievement of the physiology of animals and developing scientific thinking of the students of Biology Department of College of Education of Al-Kadyssia University. The sample of the study consists of (43) students of the fourth year of Biology Department. The sample has been divided into two groups: the experimental group which consists of (22) students studied physiology by using the snow ball strategy, and the controlling group which consists of (21) students studied physiology traditionally. The achievement test consists of (40) items (25) objective questions and (15) assay questions. The validity and reliability of the test are checked. The results of the study reveal the preeminence of the experimental group which studied by using the snow ball strategy.
