Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of
incorporating the Posner and Stepans model of
conceptual change in correcting misconceptions in
the ninth grade students.
The two researchers followed the experimental
approach, as the experimental study sample consisted
of (144) male and female students from a community
consisting of (3838) male and female students in the
ninth grade in the South Hebron District, distributed
in two groups, one is an officer and the other is
experimental and each of them (72) male and female
students in each From Al-Daheria Elementary Boys
School and Doma Secondary Girls.
A test was constructed for misconceptions in the
Engineering and Measurement Unit, where its
validity was verified by presenting it to a group of
experts and specialists, as well as finding the
coefficient of stability, which amounted to 0.89.
Mathematical averages and standard deviations were
calculated, the accompanying variance test
(ANCOVA) as well as the effect size of the Eta
Square (η2) was calculated.
The results of the study showed that there were
statistically significant differences for the ninth grade
students in the correction of misconceptions of
misconceptions according to the teaching method
that was carried out according to the proposed model
in the study and in favor of the experimental group,
and the absence of statistically significant in the test
of correction of misconceptions according to the
gender variable and the absence of statistically
significant differences Depending on the interaction
between the method and gender.
In light of these results, the study recommended
employing the Posner and Stepans model in the light
of conceptual change strategies to correct
misconceptions, and conduct further studies on
conceptual change strategies to see their impact on
other dependent variables such as attitudes and
motivation towards mathematics.
