The effect of camaraderie and competitive learning style on academic achievement Students in Experimental Science

The aim of this study was to investigate the competitive learning style and camaraderie in students' academic achievement in experimental sciences. The statistical population of this study was male elementary school students in District 2 of Tehran. The sample size was determined using Cohen's table of 60 people and they were divided into experimental and control groups by random sampling. The research method was quasi-experimental as pretest-posttest with a control group. The experimental group was divided into two groups of 30 people, one group in a friendly way and the other in a competitive way in eight sessions from different topics of the second elementary science textbook. In order to collect and analyze the data, descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and distribution (skewness and elongation) along with t-test were used. The results showed that there is a significant difference between the two groups in terms of academic achievement in science; In other words, learning comradely has a significant effect on the academic achievement of students' experimental sciences. Therefore, it is suggested that the conditions of education be provided in a friendly manner, in other words, participatory learning in schools, and provide a favorable environment for the dynamism and promotion of teamwork culture in schools.
