Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effect of the PQ4R strategy on the acquisition of basic mathematical concepts among seventh-grade students. To achieve this purpose, seventh-grade students were deliberately selected from a school in the Qweismeh Directorate of Education in Amman. The sample was divided into two sections: an experimental group consisting of 35 students who studied according to the PQ4R strategy, and a control group consisting of 35 students who studied using the traditional method. After confirming the reliability and validity of the tests, the results showed that there were statistically significant differences in the acquisition of mathematical concepts among the seventh-grade students due to the teaching method, favoring the experimental group. The study recommended the need to activate the role of learners in the learning process and to train teachers and supervisors to teach mathematics topics in accordance with the PQ4R strategy. It was also suggested that there is a need to train teachers and supervisors on metacognitive strategies by holding courses and workshops aimed at enhancing the acquisition of mathematical concepts.
