The study of the effect of reciprocal teaching method on mathematical comprehension in two-student groups

Purpose of this study was investigating reciprocal teaching impact on improving mathematical comprehension skills in first guidance grade female students. Comprehension is a significant tread on math's issues solving and students could be successful on math's issues with comprehending math's issues. Reciprocal teaching is a way of increasing cognitive and metacognitive skills. The method of this research was a semi experimental study with pre-post test method. Statistical sample of this research were 2488 female first guidance grade students in Gorgan. From them a sample of 38 female first Guidance grade students in Gorgan city were randomly selected (19 control, 19 experimental). A teacher made test with 111 items was used to evaluate the students, mathematical problems solving skills. The reciprocal teaching was done in 8 sessions and it took 1 month. Results showed a significant difference between experimental and control groups. Reciprocal teaching method makes students, mathematical problem solving skills better
