The Impact of Using iPads in Teaching the 3D Shapes Textbook Unit and Promoting Spatial Visualization and Achievement in Mathematics among Eighth-Grade Students

Authors : Zakaria Mahmoud almobasheir Mohammad Sawaftah

Abstract : This study aims to uncover the impact of using “iPads” in teaching the 3D Shapes Unit and promoting “spatial visualization” and “achievement in Mathematics” among “eighth-grade” students. The researcher conducted the study in Al-Hassad Schools, and used a quasi-experimental method which included an experimental group and a control group. The sample consisted of 118 “eighth-grade” students enrolled in the second semester of the academic year 2014-2015. The students were placed randomly in two groups; 62 students in the control group and 56 in the experimental group. The researcher developed a "3D” model from a textbook unit, a spatial perception test, and a Mathematics achievement test. The study revealed the following findings: a) the effectiveness of an iPad-enhanced “3D” model in improving students' mathematical achievement, b) the effectiveness of using “iPads” in promoting spatial perception among “eighth-grade” students, c) a statistically significant correlation between the level of spatial perception and their achievement in Mathematics d) a statistically significant difference in the effectiveness of using “iPads” to facilitate the students’ achievement in Mathematics and spatial development, which is attributed to gender difference, and favored female participants. In conclusion, the study recommends the use of “iPads” to facilitate teaching and learning Mathematics and promoting the development of students’ spatial perception. Moreover, it also suggests paying more attention to male students. This study also provided evidence as to why it is necessary to conduct future studies to develop special applications for “iPads” to better facilitate teaching and learning Mathematics and other materials in Arabic, and finally, the researcher also recommends incorporating “iPads” in teaching practices within schools and classrooms.

Research Title :Anthems' Impact on Basic Education Students' Spoken Communication Skills in Amman, Jordan

Authors : د. زكريا المباشر د. أحمد السلمان د. أحمد الاحمري

Abstract :This study aimed to study the effect of using songs in developing oral expression skills among fourth grade students in the Jordanian capital, Amman. The quasi-experimental approach was used, and the study individuals consisted of (42) students from the fourth grade in Shafa Badran Mixed Basic School. The sample was divided into two sections: an experimental group (21) students, and a control group (21) student. The experimental group studied using educational songs to develop oral expression skills, while the control group studied using traditional methods. The pre- and post-tests were applied to the two study samples. An achievement test was prepared as a tool, and the data were analyzed statistically. The results showed statistically significant differences in favor of the experimental group, which confirms the effectiveness of the effect of using songs in developing oral expression skills among fourth grade students. I recommend the necessity of activating the role of songs in the educational process, especially in the basic stage, due to their positive effect that leads to improving students' performance in general.

Research Title :The Effect of the ChatGPT Program in Enhancing the Reading Skill in EFL Among Students at the Applied Sciences Private University

Authors : د. زكريا المباشر

Abstract :The study aimed to find out the impact of the artificial intelligence program ChatGPT on enhancing the reading skill of sixty male and female students enrolled in the English Department at the Applied Science Private University in the Jordanian capital, Amman. They were divided into two groups, thirty students who did not use ChatGPT to form the control group and thirty students who used ChatGPT to form the experimental group. The aim of this research was to determine whether the ChatGPT tool enhanced reading skill better than traditional study programs and whether the ChatGPT system enhanced reading abilities more successfully. The study was conducted over a period of six weeks where participants in the experimental group used ChatGPT software for reading comprehension exercises. Their reading skills tests were conducted before and after for both groups, and a questionnaire was used to obtain their opinions on the use of ChatGPT. The results showed that students who used ChatGPT were better at reading skill than students who used traditional methods, underscoring the usefulness of the program as an educational aid. The students praised ChatGPT for its user-friendly design and for helping it develop their positive attitude towards reading in the questionnaire distributed to them. The results also confirmed how deeply AI-based language models are making advances in language teaching. The findings provide valuable insights for teachers and curriculum developers to use the relevant ChatGPT strategy and AI software in language teaching and learning
