Core Thinking Skills, Mathematics, Textbook.Abstract
The current research aimed to determine the extent to which core thinking skills are included inthemathematics textbook for the intermediate third grade of the academic year (2019-2020) by answeringthemain research question:
What thinking skills are included in the mathematics textbook for the intermediate third grade? The descriptive analytical method was used in this study. The research sample consisted of the mathematicstextbook for the intermediate third grade. To achieve research objective, a list of the main core thinking skillsand their sub-skills was prepared, and then the textbook was analyzed according to these skills. The reliabilityof results was verified through applying test-retest and inter-rater methods. The reliability value was greater than 86 % using Holsti equation. The research found the inclusion of all of the main core thinking skills inthetextbook. The sequence of these skills was as follows: first, organizing skills by (25.4%); second, generationskills by (20.5%); third, analyzing skills by (16.8%); followed by remembering skills by (11.5%); thenevaluating skills by (8.6%); integration skills by (7.6%); focusing skills by (6.7%); and finally, informationgathering skills by (2.5%). This indicates the availability of pivotal thinking skills in the content of themathematics textbook for the intermediate third grade with varying percentages.
