The Effect of the Directed predication Strategy on Achievement and Natural Intelligence Among University Students

Abstract

The following null hypotheses were developed to achieve the research's goal. There is no statistically significant difference at the level of (0.05) between the mean scores of the students of the experimental group who study the subjrct of cell life according to the ststegy of directed prediction and the mean scores of the controledl group who study the subject of cell life in traditional way in natural intelligence. The research was limited to students of the first stage in the College of Education for Pure Sciences, University of Diyala for the second semester of the academic year (2018-2019). The researcher has chosen two divisions, one of which was the experimental group and it included (30) male and female students who studied with the directed prediction strategy, and the other was the control group, which included (30) male and female students studied in the traditional way. The researcher prepared the post-achievement test for the two groups, also the natural intelligence scale was also prepared by the researcher as well. The results showed the achievement of the experimental group has outperformed the control group. Based on the results a number of conclusions were drawn and a number of recommendations were made.
