The Effect of Strategic Use of S.N.I.P.S. on Reflective Thinking in Fifth Grade Geography in the Center of Sulaymaniyah Governorate

Abstract

The main goal of this study is to find out.  The Effect of Strategic Use of S.N.I.P.S. on Reflective Thinking in Fifth Grade Geography in the Center of Sulaymaniyah Governorate, The quasi-experimental method was used. Depending on the subject, the study population consisted of fifth-grade students from both East and West Elementary Schools. She described the study model as a deliberate approach to Western education at Zhilwan Elementary School, noting the balanced number of students in each classroom, with an average of 50 boys and girls. Matches were found for variables such as age, occupation, parent's and father's degree, grade 4, and IQ. Preparing an open survey tool to consider 20 items in a 4-choice format, the researcher then assessed the validity of the tool and consulted several experts, nine of whom were specialists, and the collection of their opinions reached 79%. A prototype for determining the tool's stability was created from a re-test conducted on 40 students, along with the study sample, whose answers showed an 85% mismatch according to the Pearson equation. The research experiment was then carried out with 50 fifth-grade students, and classes were held for both groups. After the experiment was completed, a final test of the instrument was conducted. The researcher used statistical tools such as the t-test and the Pearson correlation coefficient. The researcher concluded that there was a statistically significant difference between the experimental group and the control group, and that the experimental group showed a favorable outcome in terms of the research focus, ending with a set of suggestions and recommendations.
