The Effectiveness of the (Ahaslides) Program in Teaching Geography and Measuring its Impact on Developing Students' Understanding of Geographical Models and Geographical Forecasting

This study explores the impact of the AhaSlides program on enhancing ninth-grade students' knowledge of geographical models and geographical forecasting skill.The study used a quasi-experimental design involving two groups: an experimental group on the AhaSlides program and a control group on traditional techniques.A random sample of 60 female students from Bayt Ras Secondary School for Girls in Irbid were selected.The sample size of subjects on trial comprised 30 students exposed to the AhaSlides technology, while 30 students for the control condition were instructed based on standard practices.Data collection was achieved by way of pre-test and post-test intended for determining the students' understanding of geographical models as well as the ability to predict geographical events.The tests were supplemented by a geographical prediction scale, in accordance with the research objectives, having 25 items that directly target various areas of geographical prediction.Reliability and validity of the instruments were ascertained by expert screening and statistical validation, such as Cronbach's alpha for internal reliability and test-retest.
