The degree of practice of mathematics teachers in the basic stage in Jordan for effective teaching in light of the standards of the National Council of Mathematics Teachers (NCTM) from the point of view of educational supervisors

Abstract

The current study aimed to reveal the degree of practice of mathematics teachers in the basic stage in Jordan for effective teaching in light of the standards of the National Council of Mathematics Teachers (NCTM) from the point of view of the educational supervisors. Mathematics subject in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, whose number is (171) supervisors and supervisors, distributed between the directorates of education and the ministry center. A questionnaire was applied to them consisting of (7) standards and (48) indicators, which were derived from the National Council of Mathematics Teachers (NCTM) standards document. Where the indicators of its validity and reliability were verified, the study found that the degree of practice of mathematics teachers in the basic stage in Jordan for effective teaching standards in light of the standards of the National Council of Teachers and the viewpoint of the educational supervisors came at the macro level with a medium degree, with an arithmetic mean (3.09). "In the first place, with an arithmetic mean of (3.70), and with a high degree, while the field (planning mathematics lessons in an unconventional way) came in last place, with an arithmetic mean of (2.20), and with a weak degree, the results did not show differences in the degree of practice attributable to heterosexual sex and experience, while there were differences attributed to the scientific qualification variable and in favor of those with postgraduate academic qualification. The study recommended the necessity of holding training programs for the standards of the National Council of Mathematics Teachers (NCTM) to develop the performance of mathematics teachers, and to include these standards in the teaching courses of the Faculties of Education in Jordanian universities during the teacher preparation period.
