Abstract

The research aimed to build a proposed program based on Project-Web Learning Approach to develop action research skills among mathematics students- teachers in Oman. The research was relied on the experimental method based on the semi-experimental design of one group (pre-post application). The research sample consisted of (34) fourth year female students majoring in mathematics education at the College of Arts and Applied Sciences at Dhofar University in the city of Salalah. Data were collected via the test of action research skills for the sample in the senior project course. The study was carried out during 15 weeks. Data were analyzed by using (SPSS program -version 22), based on means, standard divisions, T test, and η2. The research concluded that there was a significant difference at (0.01) between the mean grades of students in the pre- test of action research and that of the post-test in favor of the post-test. The research recommended preparing the content of all courses to mathematics education Bachelor's students in accordance with the Project-web learning Approach, and improving the instructors’ performance to develop action research skills for their students.
