| Summary: | The purpose of this study was to find the effectiveness of a modified strategy-based
module (MSBM) that based on CoRt and SCAMPER in the development of creative
thinking and self-concept among a sample of low achievers in Jordan. The study
sample comprised 160, sixth year female and male elementary low achievers
randomly selected from 8 resource rooms at Al-mafareq governorate. The sample
was divided into four groups. The experimental groups received the modified
strategy-based module (MSBM) and the control groups received the currently
strategy-based used module (CSBUM) for four weeks, after which a post-test was
administered. The findings revealed that there is a significant difference between the
post-test means of the two experimental groups against the two control groups’
performance. An analyses of variance based on correct responses recall for the
(Piers-Harris 2 Self –Concept Scale) and (Torrance Creative Thinking Test) posttests’
grades indicated significant differences between the experimental and control
groups in their creative thinking and self-concept. In summary, the findings of this
study not only support current opinion regarding the state of training low achievers’
creative thinking and self-concept in Jordan, but more pertinently, it highlights the
fact that remedial action needs to be taken to address the inherent failure of the
educationists to follow effective methods to improve low achievers’ creative thinking
and self-concept to improve academic performance. One way of doing so would be
to use the findings of this study to look into the possibility of training low achievers
in the Jordanian resource rooms in a useful and integrative manner. Consequently,
the study has recommended some suggestions. |
