Effectiveness of learning strategies training on math self-concept in blind girl students

This study was done in order to investigate the effectiveness of learning strategies training on mathematical self-concept in blind girl students. The method of this study was Quasi-Experimental with pre-test & post-test design and control group. The study population consisted of blind girl students who were educating in 10th grade of Narjes School of Tehran and Setayesh School of Mashhad in the year of 2017. The sample group of this research included 30 blind girl students who were selected by of available sampling method. In this study, learning strategies training was done in 12 45-minutes sessions three times a week and Marsh’s Math Self-Concept Questionnaire was answered by students as pre-test and post-test. To analyze the data, analysis of covariance method (ANCOVA) was used. The results show that there was a significant difference between experiment and control group after the intervention in math self-concept and also the result show that 64% of math self-concept increase was caused by this learning program. According to these findings, we can say that learning strategies training increases math self-concept. Since these strategies can be trained, we suggest that teachers teach them to their students.
