Abstract

Objectives: The study aims to measure the effect of using the SCAMPER strategy in the acquisition of trigonometric ratios concepts and in motivation toward learning mathematics of ninth-grade students.

Methods: The study adopted the experimental method and the quasi-experimental design. A sample composed of (49) ninth-grade female students were selected and distributed in two groups: an experimental group of (24) students were taught using the SCAMPER strategy, and a control group of (25) students was taught using the traditional method. To achieve the objectives of the study, two instruments were used: a test for the acquisition of trigonometric ratios concepts, which consisted of (15) multiple-choice items, and motivation toward the Learning Mathematics Scale, which consisted of (20) items. The validity and reliability indications were extracted for the study’s instruments using appropriate methods and were found acceptable for the purposes of the study.

Results: The results showed that there is a statistically significant difference at the level (α = 0.05) in the acquisition of trigonometric ratios concepts and in motivation toward learning mathematics of ninth-grade students in favor of the experimental group.

Conclusion: The study recommends urging mathematics teachers to adopt teaching topics in mathematics according to the activating the SCAMPER strategy in teaching the concepts of trigonometric ratios and other subjects of mathematics as shown by the positive impact on the development of trigonometric ratios concepts and in motivation towards learning mathematics.
