The effectiveness of using conceptual maps In creativity of mathematics in developing the seventh grade students in qbatia education directorate

Study aimed to identify the reality of the creativity of mathematics in the Palestinian curriculum and the effectiveness of using conceptual maps and developing them for the seventh grade students, the researcher used the experimental protocol in the prepare this study, which includes the use of field experience including two groups, the first is the pilot, and the second is the control group, and the study group consisted of students from the seventh basic grade, who are studying in governmental schools in Qabatia Directorate of Education for the academic year (2008/2009), The size of the study community according to the statistics of Qabatia Directorate of Education, in the public schools (2697) students divided into 87 Division, and the number of students in UNRWA schools (95) students divided into 3 divisions, and the number of students in private schools (50) students divided into two divisions. (Department of Statistics in Qabatia Directorate of Education for the year 2008/2009). Two schools were selected at random, for the purpose of the study, each school containing three classes with a number of the sample (253) students, the researcher used an instrument to analogy the purpose in this study represented in an achievement test , prepared by the researcher and the number of students in each division of the control and experimental was over the value of the arithmetic average of the number of students in the division in the normal situation, which is the minimum size of the group in experimental studies, and it’s a very good degree to meet the purposes of the study. After analyzing the data the results of the study were as follows: 1. It appeared that there were no statistically significant differences on the level of statistical significance (α = 0.05) in the reality of the creativity of mathematics in the Palestinian curriculum and the effectiveness of using conceptual maps and developing them for the seventh grade students at Qabatia Directorate of Education between tribalism and dimension measures, and retention on the control group. 2. It appeared that there were no statistically significant differences on the level of statistical significance (α = 0.05) in the reality of the creativity of mathematics in the Palestinian curriculum and the effectiveness of using conceptual maps and developing them for the seventh grade students at Qabatia Directorate of Education between tribal and dimensional measurements, and retention on the experimental group on all levels and on the total degree. 3. It appeared that there were no statistically significant differences on the level of statistical significance (α = 0.05) in the reality of the creativity of mathematics in the Palestinian curriculum and the effectiveness of using conceptual maps and developing them for the seventh grade students at Qabatia Directorate of Education in the dimensional measurement: spatial ability, numerical ability, perceptual ability, and the total degree between the two control and experimental groups and for the benefit of the pilot group.
