Effectiveness of Using the Advance Organizers Strategy on teaching Mathematical Concepts on the Achievement of Mathematics Students- Teachers at Umm Al Qura University in Saudi Arabia

Abstract: This study aimed to identify the effectiveness of using advance organizers strategy in teaching mathematical concepts in the course of mathematics teaching methods (2) at Umm al-Qura University in Saudi Arabia. Two hundred student-teachers were divided into an experimental group of 100 students and control group of 100 students. The research tool consisted of an achievement test in some mathematical concepts in the mathematics teaching methods course (2). The study results indicated that there were statistically significant differences between the median scores of the experimental and control groups in the post-application of the experimental test for the benefit of the experimental group. The results of the study also revealed that there were statistically significant differences between the median scores of the experimental group in the pre-test and post-test applications for the benefit of the post application. The researcher recommended using the strategy of advanced organizations in teaching mathematical concepts at the university.
