    (2000) Ahmad Othman; Dr. Salah Yaseen
    This study aimed at determining the training needs in the academic high basic stage for teacher of mathematics in government schools in north district of Palestine, and found whether training needs differ as a result of differences qualification, and years of experience. To Achieve the aims, the study attempted to answer the following questions: - What are the training needs for teacher of mathematics in government schools in north district of Palestine? - Do the training needs of teachers differs as a result of differences of qualification of the teacher according to each filed of the study? - Do the training needs of teachers differs as a result of differences of experience of the teacher according to each filed of the study? - Is there any effect of the interaction between teacher’s qualification and years of experience of the degree of estimating his training needs according to each field of study? To answer the questions of the study, the researcher construct a questionnaire by the help of the previous studies about training needs and teachers of mathematics. The questionnaire consists of 61 questions for 6 fields: teach planning, management and organize of class, methods of teaching, teaching media, evaluation, mathematical content. The population of the study consists of all teachers who teaches mathematics subject in the nigh basic stage in the government schools in the north district of Palestine for the year 1999/2000 with total number of (73 1). A sample of (219) (30%) teachers were selected . Analysis of results were appropriated in the light of the following statistical criteria: Means and standard deviations, t-test , 2 way ANOVA. The results of the study showed that: - There are 58 training needs for teachers of mathematics subject in the high basic stage in the government schools in the north district of Palestine. - There are statistically difference upon the level (α = 0.05) with respect to qualification in the field of methods of teaching. - There are statistically difference upon the level (α = 0.05) with respect to years of experience in the fields: Management and organization of class, methods of teaching, evaluation in mathematics, mathematical content. Recommendations: - Rebuild all training courses and programs to be emanating from the real needs for teachers which have been revealed by the study. - Conducting similar studies that conclude other populations , samples and variables.
