LEARNING DIFFICULTIES IN METALLURGY LESSON: CASE STUDY IN TECHNICAL INSTITUTE OF BABYLON
Journal Title: Educational Research International - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
The Metallurgy lesson considered one of the hardest lessons taught in the Department of Mechanics at the Technical Institute of Babylon, Due to the failure of many students in passing the first attempt. The primary reason for writing this research that the success rate for the last five years was approximately 20% which is the lowest percentage among all lessons. Therefore this study came to look at the problems encountered by students during their study of this lesson by taking the 2012-2013 academic year as a test sample of 50 students in the second stage to suggest the key reasons for this difficulty in learning. Suggestions are made on ways to minimize the learning difficulty problems based on understandings of attitudes and motivation as well as the psychological understandings of how learning takes place.
