Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of Case-Based Reasoning Model on enhancing analogical reasoning skills in financial mathematics among tenth graders. The study sample consisted of 87 students. The sample was divided into two groups, 46 students as experimental group which learned the financial mathematics module using the case-based reasoning model, and 41 students as the control group which learned the same module through the traditional method. To achieve the objectives of the study, the module was designed according to the Case-Based Reasoning Model and an analogical reasoning test with its different skills (structuring, mapping, applying, verifying). They were used to collect data. The results revealed that there were statistically significant differences between the performance of the experimental and the control groups in the analogical reasoning test as a whole and at each skill, due to the teaching method variable, in favor of the experimental group. The study recommended using Case-Based Reasoning Model for teaching mathematics.
