A proposed project-based program to develop some life skills in teaching mathematics to a sample of middle school students in Minia in light of international STEM standards

Abstract

The research aimed to determine the effectiveness of a proposed project-based program to develop some life skills in teaching mathematics to a group of middle school students in Minya in light of international STEM standards.

The current research was based on the experimental approach with two groups, control and experimental, where the research group consisted of (120) male and female students who were divided into three teams with (40) male and female students for each group. The research group was divided into two groups, one of which was a control group and the other an experimental group after ensuring that the two groups were equal. The research tools were a project-based program in teaching mathematics in light of the international STEM standards and a life skills scale which consists of four skills that measure some life skillsprepared by the researcher. The research resulted in a statistically significant difference at the 0.01 level of doubt between The average scores of the control and experimental research groups before and after applying the program in each skill separately are in favor of the post-application of the experimental group, which means the effectiveness of the project-based program according to international STEM standards.
