The effect of teamwork investigation model on the achievement of the first intermediate grade students in the subject of chemistry and developing their motivation towards it

Abstract

The present study aims at investigating the effect of teamwork investigation model on the achievement of the first intermediate grade students in the subject of chemistry and developing their motivation towards it. The sample was randomly chosen and consisted of (88) students. It was distributed into two groups, (48) students in the experimental group in Othman Ibn Afan intermediate school and which was taught according to teamwork investigation model and (40) students in the control group in Al-Zouhor intermediate school and which was taught according to the normal method. Equating procedures were used to equalize the two groups in a number of non experimental variables. To apply the study, the researcher prepared the lesson plans for both groups of the research. To achieve the aims and test the hypotheses of the study, the present research has required the preparation of two tools an objective achievement test in the form of multiple choice and matching consisted of (50) items to measure students achievement in chemistry. The validity of the test was examined and the content validity type was used for this purpose. The test was presented to a numbers of experts and the percentage for accepting the items was (80%) and all items got this percentage and more. The second tool is a previously made questionnaire designed by AlHasnnawi (2005) to measure motivation which consisted of (33) items.After collecting and analyzing the data by using T-test for two independent samples, at (0.05) level of significance, the results indicated that:1. There is a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of achievement for the experimental group and those of the control group for the benefit of the experimental group .2. There is a statistically significant difference between the means of tests of pre-and post developing motivation for the experimental group used the suggested model and infavor of post test.
