The Impact of Cognitive Training Program for Children (CTPC) to Development the Mathematical Conceptual and Achievement

This study aimed to investigate the impact of the Cognitive Training Program of Children (CTPC) on development the of mathematical concepts and achievement in mathematics among third-grade students. The study sample consisted of (113) students distributed randomly into three groups: the first experimental group (39) students who taught through CTPC individually, the second experimental group (36) students who taught through CTPC in small groups, and the control group (38) taught in the traditional method. A mathematical conceptual development test, mathematical achievement test, and qualitative scoring rubric were prepared as instruments to collect the data. The results showed that there were statistically significant differences between the three groups, in favor of the two experimental groups, and statistically significant differences between the two experimental groups in favor of the second experimental group, which was trained on CTPC in small groups, compared to the first experimental group, which was trained on CTPC individually. The study recommended paying attention to CTPC, inviting teachers to use it in teaching mathematics, and providing guides for teachers to plan lessons using CTPC.
