Abstract

The research aimed to develop the "Teaching Methods 1, 2" course in the Educational Rehabilitation Program of Al-Azhar University in the light of the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) model and to investigate the impact of studying the developed course on developing creative teaching among male and female students (Mathematics major). to achieve this goal; The researcher did two main procedures. The first main procedure of the research was to use the descriptive approach through content analysis. Where a preliminary list of standards and indicators extracted from the TPACK model was developed and presented to a group of arbitrators and amended as necessary, and the final list resulted in (7) criteria (CK, PK, TK, PCK, TCK, TPK, TPCK) and (28) indicators. Then, the descriptive and written content of the course was analyzed in light of the final list in order to determine the level of focus (clearly including the topics of the standards and indicators extracted from the TPACK model). The results of the analysis showed that  there was a weak level of focus of the standards and indicators in the target course. In light of the results of the analysis; A proposed conception of the developed course description was developed - after amending the title to "Methods of Teaching Mathematics" - in the light of the TPACK model. The second main procedure of the research was the use the a pre-experimental design (One Group Pre-test Post-test Design); Where the researcher prepared and observation card to measure the performance of creative teaching (planning, implementation, and evaluation of creative teaching) before and after. Then teaching the developed course for the research group (a random sample of (12) male and female students at the Educational Rehabilitation Center in Mansoura) with the hybrid/blended learning system - which is generally applied in the program at the year of research implementation - and teaching took a full academic year (2020/2021 AD) . The results of analyzing the scores of the pre and post measurements revealed that there was a statistically significant difference at the level of (0.05) between the pre and post measurements in favor of the post measurement, and that there was a high effect size of the developed course study in developing the creative teaching performance of the targeted sample.
