Abstract

This study aimed to reveal the effectiveness of using the WebQuest Strategy in developing academic achievement of the mathematical concepts and the impact of this on developing electronic communication skills among female kindergarten students at the College of Education. Experimental methodology was used with a quasi- experimental design due to its suitability with the nature of the study. The study tools included an academic achievement test on specific topics to measure academic achievement in the mathematics concepts development course, and an observation tool to measure electronic communication skills (ECO). The study tools were applied to a random sample of female kindergarten students at the College of Education (60) female students, were divided into two groups: an experimental group (32) female students studied topics according to the WebQuest Strategy, and a control group (28) female students studied the specific topics according to the traditional method. The results showed that using the WebQuest Strategy has an impact on developing both academic achievement for the course developing mathematical concepts" and electronic communication skills. The study presented a set of recommendations, the most important of which is the necessity of employing the WebQuest Strategy in teaching other courses in university education through a reliable education platform, such as Blackboard. The study presented a set of future research proposals.
