ABSTRACT
This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of Driver’s model (DM) in developing the
conceptual understanding (CU) of first-class intermediate students in geometry and polygons via
quasi-experimental design, for a random sample of 62 female-students divided into two groups,
the experimental group with 31 students who were taught the module by DM, and the control
group with 31 students were taught the module by the traditional teaching method. The study
found significant statistical variances regarding scores means between the two groups at the three
levels of explanation, interpretation, and application for the experimental group with a high
impact reached at 0.31 along with a high impact, too, regarding the mean of the total score of CU
test for the same group, which reached at 0.43. Thus, the study recommends using DM in
mathematics teaching.
