Main Article Content
Abstract
This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of origami models in the performance of fourth-grade female students in the subject of social literature and their visual thinking. The study sample consisted of two groups, one was the experimental group. The number of students was (30) students, and the other group was the control group, and it consisted of (32) students. The researcher used the experimental research method as a method for conducting the study, which included an independent variable (origami model) and two dependent variables (academic achievement, visual thinking). The researcher chose the experimental design to control the research variables, and before starting to implement the experiment, the researcher rewarded the two research groups to obtain the results. Having a clear understanding of the following variables: (age, previous grades, previous information tests, intelligence tests, visual thinking tests), and after achieving equivalence between the two research groups, the researchers prepared plans, objectives, and application requirements for the test. After completing the experimental application of the two research groups, the researcher applied the research tools to the two research groups, conducted a (t) test on the two independent samples, conducted statistical processing of the data, and obtained the final results, as the results showed. The experimental group students outperformed the control group students in both the achievement tests and the visual thinking tests.
