The Effect of the Learning Mastery Strategy using Interactive Learning Techniques as a Therapeutic Method on the Achievement of Secondary School Students in Mathematics

Abstract

  The current research aims to identify the effect of the learning mastery strategy using interactive learning as a therapeutic method on the achievement of secondary school students in mathematics. To achieve the research objective, the researcher selected second-grade middle school students at Al-Haybah Intermediate School for Boys and determined his research sample, which consisted of (77) students distributed into two sections: Section (A) the experimental group, with (38) students, and Section (B) the control group, with (39) students. The statistical equivalence of the two research sample groups was confirmed in the variables (intelligence test, previous achievement, and previous knowledge test). The researchers chose the partial design with two equivalent groups with a post-test to measure achievement, then controlling the extraneous variables. The experiment was applied in the first semester of the academic year (2024-2025). The results were analyzed statistically using SPSS-26 and using the t-test for two independent samples. The results showed that the students of the experimental group who studied according to the learning mastery strategy and using interactive learning techniques as a therapeutic method outperformed the students of the control group who studied with learning mastery. Using the traditional method as a therapeutic approach.
