The Impact Of Using Vee-Mapping Strategy On Achievement Of Ninth Grade In Biology And Their Achievement Motive At U.N.R.W.A Schools In Nablus

A scientific achievement test was prepared on the subject of "Environment and adaptation" its reliability verified by referees, its validity was calculated by Person formula, its value by (test -retest)method was (0.87), and by using k-R formula (20) its value was (0.94) A achievement motive scale prepared by (Abdo,et a1 2000) was applied before the experiment to verib the compatibility between the two groups. Referees confirmed reliability of the scale and validity was calculated by using kinder-Richardson formula (20) its value was (0.98). Data was analyzed by using one and two ways analysis of variance on factor design (2x2) to test the study hypothesis. Findings: There were statistical significant differences at (α=0.01) level b -, I twine scientific achieving mean of the students of experimental and control group. In favor of experimental group . There were statistical significant differences at ( α=0.01) level between scientific achievement mean of the students due to Gender. In favor of females. There were no statistical significant differences at (α=0.01) level between scientific achievement mean of the students due to time There were no statistical significant differences at ( α=0.01) level due I to in traction between teaching method and gender. 1 There were statistical significant differences at (α=0.01) level in the I achievement motive of the students between experimental and control 1 group . In favor of experimental group. There were no statistical significant differences at (α=0.01)level in 1 the achievement motive of the students due to gender.. There were no statistical significant differences at( α=0.0 1)level in achievement motive of the students due to interaction between teaching method and gender. There were no statistical significant differences at (α=0.01) level in the achievement motive of the students due to time. Based on the findings, the researcher recommends to focus on the conceptual organization of knowledge and concentrate on learning of co - cepts, by using meaningful-learning strategies such as concept mapping , Vee mapping and its relation to achievement motive of the students, and other personal characteristics and its effect on improving achievement of the students specially in Biology courses, and in science courses in general and in other fields of study. This study aimed at investigating the impact of using Vee mapping strategy on achievement motive of ninth grade students in Biology science, and their immediate and long-term achievement in "Environment and A dapt - tion" subject The study attempted to answer the following two main questions First: What is the impact of using Vee mapping strategy on immediate and long-term achievement of ninth grade students in Biology science in U.N.R. W.A schools in Nablus ? Second : what is the impact of using Vee-mapping strategy on achievement motive of ninth grade students in U.N.R.WA schools in Nablus? To answer the questions of the study and test hypotheses the researcher conducted this study on sample consisting of (135) males and females attending U.N.R.W.A schools in Nablus. The students of the study were distributed in to four sections in four di-ir ferent schools: two for inales and two for females. Two sections, one for males and one for females, were chosen randomly and these sections re - resented the experimental group, the two sections were taught by using Vee-mapping strategy, whereas the other two sections were taught according to traditional method. A pre-Know ledge test was applied to make sure the compatibility between the two groups, its reliability was verified by referees.
