Abstract
Mathematical concepts including counting, comparing and the spatial value of numbers is one of the most fundamental fields that has many effects on individuals’ life. In the process of counting, the child must retrieve the phonetic representations of numerical words. This is possible through phonological working memory. In this research, the authors are trying to study the effect of phonemic awareness training on the performance of female students in the second grade of elementary school in the area of mathematical concepts.
So the present study was done on 140 second grade female students of Quchan elementary school in the academic year of 1401-1402. 70 students were selected as the control group and 70 students were selected as the experimental group. The experimental group was exposed to phonological awareness training during 10 sessions of 30-35 minutes. A pre-test and a post-test were conducted from both groups both in the phonological awareness and mathematical concepts. The results showed that teaching phonological awareness skills in mathematical concepts has a significant effect on female students in the second grade of elementary school. Thus the results of the present study are in line with the results of other studies conducted in this field. But the different aspect of this research was the dividing of phonemic awareness skill based on age and just considering the field of mathematical concepts specifically. In this research, only the field of concepts has been discussed.
