أثر المناخ الصفي و الأسري في تحصيل طلبة الصف العاشر الأساسي في مادة الرياضيات (في مدارس شمال فلسطين)

Abstract

. A'BSTRAC't The effect of-classroom climate and family variables on the achievement of the tenth grade student in mathematics in the schools of north Palestine This study aimed at investigating the effect of classroom climate on academic achievement in mathematics of the tenth grade students. This would be accomplished through recognising the extent of a difference in the achievement of the tenth grade students in mathematics subject due to zthe differences in classroom climate ;the interaction between the student sex and the classroom climate gthe classroom climate dimension classified in zinvolvement ,aff1liation ,teacher support,task orientation,organization,rule clarity and punishment and reward, and due to the interaction between the student sex and these dimensions. Also this study aimed at identifying family variables (family income ,parents< level of education ,family size, parents working ,the extent of parents concern in school affairs ,the extent of the existence of family integration and Li1Q___pLln1i)6l‘ of fathers wives on the academic achievement in mathematics . I The sample of the study consisted of (l ~ ~)male and(\ ~ ~) female students,the sample was intentionally selected from the tenth graders students devided into tenth sections ,(°) for male , (°) for female during the school year T~ ~ l/* ~ ~ Y . To achieve the purpose of the study ,the researcher prepared three tools ;(a)the classroom climate scale which includes (Y5) items covering seven dimensions of the classroom climatezinvolvement ,aff1liation ,teacher support,task orientation,organization,rule clarity and punishment and reward,(b)- the questionnaire about the family variables,(c) an achievement test in mathematics. The validity of the content of three scales was approved by an assessment committee .The reliability coefficient was calculated for (classroom climate scale ,achievement test ) by half- split method was( ~ ,/W) for the first and(- »/\‘l) for the second ,while it was (~»/*1) for the parentes concern in school affairs scale as used . To test these-hypotheses of the study ,the researcher used descriptive and analytical statistical techniques such as the means,standard deviations,raw frequencies ,also _a two —way analysis of variance was conducted on both students achievement and sex.Post —hoc comparisons were the then utilized to point out the sources of significant differences ,and it was used a one —way anova and (ti) test for independent pairs . The result of this study showed that there were significant statistical differences at level(ot=~ Y - °) due to the classroom climate .Achievement was increased when atenth grade student moved from lower classroom Lclimate group to medium group and to ahiger group.These defferences comparisons were calculated by using Newman-Keuls test ,by these results indicated that there was a difference of statistical among the means of achievement of most student groups which resulted from interaction between sex and classroom climate .To "find the resources of these differences ,the poistoron comparisons were made by using Newman- Keuls test The results indicated that there were differences that had statistical significance between most of the groups exept for males and females of high classroom climate group . The results of the two — way analysis variance also reveald that there are statistically significant differences due to both the effect of each dimension of classroom climate on achievement and the shared effect of sex and the dimension of (involvement,affiliation,task orientation,organization,rule clarity,punishment and reward).Where as there were no statistically significant differences due to the shared effect of sex and the dimension of (teacher support). The one way anova analysis resulting from (T) and (F ) tests indicated the existence of statistical impact for the variables of( parents working ,family income,_parents level education and parents concern in school affairs ). while the study did not show any statistical impact of other studied variables . In the light of these results ,the researcher has recommended the need of patents corporation with school so as to participate in dealing with the students weakness in mathematics ,and to provide suitable classroom climate on all educational levels .In adittion ,the researcher has recommended similar further studies on other samples of populations in Palestine.
