The Effect of Using tow Methods of Pronounced and written Feed Back in Academic acquisition of students of technical medicine institute in philosophy curriculum

Abstract

The world faces, in the last years of the last century and the beginning of the current century i.e. the 21st century, a great expansion and a large openness on new worlds in studies differ in their development, detection of thinking methods and practice of mental processes. The recent studies have proved an increase in the scientific achievement among students through the presence of new techniques one of which is Landa Organizing and Exploring Model concerning Physiology that deals with various body organs. This research aims at identifying the effectiveness of Landa Model on the achievement of the Technical Medicine Institute students in Physiology so as to be sure of the following nil hypothesis: there is no statistically significant difference at the level (0.05) between the mean scores of the experimental group studying physiology according to Landa Model and the mean scores of the control group studying the same material according to the normal method. The experimental design with the partial control was used. The current research was confined with the students of the Technical Medicine Institute for the academic year 2006-2007 where section (A) and (B) were chosen randomly. The sample number mounted (70) male and female students, (35) male and female students for each section. The (age, previous study achievement of Biology and intelligence) variables were equalized. The facial validity, content validity, difficulty level, alternative effectiveness and item discrimination were checked out according to reliability coefficient by using Pearson equation recording (85%) for the items subjected to the test. The results showed the superiority of the experimental group who studied physiology according to Landa Model on the control group who studied physiology according to the normal method. It was concluded that using Landa Model in teaching Physiology resulted in increasing the students' achievement. The researcher recommended using Landa Model in teaching and suggested conducting more studies in other items to identify their effect extent on study achievement.
