Developing Mathematics Achievement and Inductive Reasoning: A Proposed Technique According to Brain Compatible Learning Theory

Abstract

Recent research has shown the need to present knowledge to students in a manner consistent with the characteristics of the human brain, especially during learning mathematics, which contributes to the development of achievement and inductive reasoning. The current study aimed to develop achievement and inductive reasoning by employing brain-compatible learning theory in teaching and learning mathematics for sixth-grade students in Oman. The sample included (74) students, who were divided into two equal groups: experimental and control. Study data were collected using mathematical achievement tests and inductive reasoning. There were significant differences between the two groups in the post-application of the achievement and inductive reasoning tests in favor of the experimental group, which indicates that teaching mathematics according to the theory of learning compatible with the brain had a significant impact on the development of achievement and inductive reasoning among the participants. The study recommended the need to develop and teach mathematics curricula in a way that allows for the practice of many activities and exercises that contribute to the development of students’ achievement and inductive reasoning skills.
