Abstract

The research aimed to design a participatory e-learning environment based on the modeling learning strategy and measure its impact on the development of procedural fluency among elementary school female students in Jeddah. To achieve the research objectives, the researchers employed an experimental methodology with a quasi-experimental design. The research tools included a cognitive test for procedural fluency, and the research sample consisted of 52 female students from the fifth grade at School 21 in Jeddah. They were divided into two groups: an experimental group of 25 students and a control group of 27 students. The results indicated statistically significant differences at a significance level of (0.05 ≥ a) between the mean scores of the experimental group and the control group in the post-test of the cognitive test aimed at measuring procedural fluency. A significant and substantial positive effect was observed for the use of a participatory e-learning environment based on the modeling learning strategy in the development of procedural fluency among elementary school female students in Jeddah. This effect was evident in all dimensions of the test (efficiency, accuracy, flexibility) and the overall test. The research made several recommendations, including encouraging and training mathematics teachers on how to use participatory e-learning environments in teaching mathematics due to their positive impact on students.
