The level of representation of some learning styles in the content of Mathematics books for the ۴th preparatory class (analysis - evaluation study)

The present research aims at identifying the level of representation of some learning styles in the content of mathematics books for ۴th preparatory (scientific and literary). In order to achieve the goal of the research and answer his questions, the researcher has adopted the descriptive research method and the content analysis method for the research sample. By using the content analysis card with indicators of virtual validity. It includes categories of analysis or axes of analysis and represents Learning methods and the their indicators according to the Filder - Silverman model of learning styles, which classified students’ learning styles into several methods: ( Sensing Learners vs Intuitive Learners , visual Learners vs verbal learners , inductive learners versus deductive learners , active learners vs contemplative learners, sequential learners versus holistic learners). The researcher has conducted the content analysis process for mathematics books for ۴th preparatory class (scientific and literary) according to specific steps and controls. To determine the level of representation of some learning styles, using frequencies and percentages. As the results of the analysis, it is obvious that the frequency totals for learning styles and their indicators are unequal, and the percentages of their representation level in the content of mathematics books for the ۴th preparatory class (scientific and literary) are below the required level and this is realistic evidence that some students’ learning styles have not been taken into consideration. The consideration when preparing mathematics books for the ۴th preparatory class (scientific and literary). Therefore, the researcher recommends the need to pay attention to it and take into account the inclusion of all students ’learning methods when preparing mathematics curricula in particular and books in general.
