The effectiveness of the use of cognitive trips through the Internet in developing the skills of mathematical thinking and the trend towards mathematics among middle school students

Abstract

  This paper aims to explore The Effectiveness of WEB QUESTS in Developing Mathematical Thinking and Attitudes towards Mathematics for Intermediate School Students. The research using the Analytical Descriptive Methodology in preparing the Mathematical Thinking List that needed for the Intermediate School Students, preparing Unite in the first semester Grade eight school Mathematics as WEB Quests, Mathematical Thinking Test, and the Attitudes towards Mathematics scale.  Using the Quasi experimental Methodology in doing the experiment, pre and post applied of the Mathematical Thinking Test, and the Attitudes towards Mathematics scale. The result revealed that, The WEB QUESTS has Effectiveness in Developing Mathematical Thinking and Attitudes towards Mathematics for the experimental sample.  Then, recommendations and suggestions were presented.
