Abstract
This study aims to identify analytical thinking and its relation to mathematical
prowess among tenth- graders in public schools of Jerusalem suburbs Directorate, in
light of gender and achievement variables in mathematics. The researcher used the
descriptive correlational method for the study. the study population consisted of
(1768) students from the tenth-grade of public schools in Jerusalem Suburbs
Directorate. A stratified cluster sample was selected consists of (69) female students
and (109) male students, which forms 10% of the study population of the academic
year (2020-2021). The researcher used two tools, the first is the preference scale of
testing analytical thinking, and the second is the test of mathematical prowess, along
with verifying their validity and reliability.
The results of the study show that the degree of analytical thinking among the tenth
graders in Jerusalem suburbs directorate reached 59.7%, which is a medium
percentage. Also, there are statistically significant differences at the significance level
(α ≥ 0.05( in the Averages of the degree of analytical thinking among the tenth
graders due to the gender variable and the differences are in favor of females. While
the study did not find statistically significant differences in significance level (α ≥
0.05( in the averages of the analytical thinking degree due to the variable of
achievement in mathematics.
Regarding mathematical prowess of tenth graders, the results of the study shows that
the degree of mathematical prowess among tenth graders in Jerusalem suburbs
directorate schools has reached (52.4%), which is a medium percentage. Also, there
are no statistically significant differences at the significance level (α ≥ 0.05( in
mathematical prowess averages among tenth graders attributed to the gender variable.
However, there are statistically significant differences at the significance level (α ≥
0.05( in the averages of mathematical prowess among tenth graders due to the
achievement variable in mathematics with more than 80%. The results of the study
indicate that there is a direct and statistically significant correlation between the
degrees of analytical thinking and the degrees of mathematical prowess among tenth
graders in Jerusalem suburbs directorate. Thus, the higher the degrees of analytical
thinking, the higher the degrees of mathematical prowess and vice versa.
In light of the study results, the researcher recommends that teachers use the
approaches, tools and learning strategies that encourage the use of analytical thinking
in solving mathematical problems. Also, she recommends enhancing the abilities of
learners of mathematics and raising the level of their mathematical prowess by
engaging them in solving problems in class interaction and brainstorming activities, as
well as avoiding memorization and memorization
