Mental Arithmetic Ability and its Relationship to Working Visual Memory among Primary School Pupils
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study sheds the light on determining the correlation between mental arithmetic
ability and working visual memory, and the sample of the study members consisted of
368 male and female pupils from private schools affiliated to the General Directorate
of Education in Babylon In order to achieve the objectives of the current research, it
was necessary to have a test to measure mental arithmetic for primary school pupils,
and given the absence of a local or Arabic test within the limits of the researcher’s
knowledge, she decided to prepare a test in mental arithmetic consisting of five parts,
four of which are related to numerical issues and a special part to verbal issues and to
define the concept of arithmetic The researcher adopted the Reys 1993 study (Reys,
1993). Where the first part consists of the skill of addition and contains four
paragraphs, the second part is related to the skill of subtraction and contains four
paragraphs, the third part is related to the skill of multiplication and contains five
paragraphs, the fourth part is concerned with the skill of division and contains five
paragraphs, as for the fifth part, this part is specific to verbal skills and contains It is
divided into four paragraphs distributed over the four arithmetic operations (addition,
subtraction, multiplication, division), and thus the test paragraphs are (22) items. As
for the working visual memory test. The test consists of (40) paragraphs in its final
form, where the paragraphs are in the form of optical slides, and the first slides begin
with two components in each slide, then gradually progress until they become (5-6)
components. All are simple black and white shapes. The test can be applied
individually or collectively, and in the case of applying the test in an individual way,
it is possible to display the test on a computer and statistical analysis of the two test
paragraphs was conducted and conclusions were reached on the basis of which a set
of proposals and recommendations were developed
