Abstract
The study aimed at investigating the effect of
employing the strategy “Formulate- Share- Listen- Create”
FSLC on the 4thGraders developing their mathematical
representation skills in Governmental Schools in Hebron
Governorate - Directorate of Education. In order to achieve the
objectives of the study, it was applied on a purposive sample of
(124) 4
th Graders in Al-Huda Basic Education for Girls School
and Al-Amin Basic Education for Boys School in the
Directorate of Education / Yatta. The sample included 67 male
Students, and 57 female students. The students distributed into
four sections, one section in each school represented the
Control Group (studied in the Control Method), and the other
section represented the Experimental Group (studied
according to the Formulate-Share-Listen and Create Strategy
FSLC. The researcher built a test of mathematical
representation skills, the researcher verified the validity and
reliability of the tool. The results revealed that there were
statistically significant differences at the level of significance
(α≤0.05) among the 4th Graders in the test of mathematical
representation skills due to the Teaching Method and for the
Experimental Group studied according to the strategy FSLC.
The study revealed that there were no statistically significant
differences at the level of significance (α≤0.05) in the test of
mathematical representation skills due to Gender, or in the
interaction between Gender and the Method. In the light of the
results of the study, the researcher recommends training
teachers to use the Strategy in developing mathematical
written skills (writing and presentation) and the verbal skills
(speaking, listening and reading), as well as conducting further
studies on the impact of this strategy in other variables and
subjects. Such as solving life problems and making decision.
Description
The field of education in Palestine is undergoing a change
movement that included the development of educational
curricula, evaluation tools for the lower basic stage and the
development of teaching methods and strategies to deal with
the large amount of knowledge contained in the curricula,
especially mathematics curricula developed in the light of
the international standards of mathematics curricula, Active
