Abstract

The aim of the study was to investigate the reality of practicing female mathematics teachers on open-ended questions in primary education. To achieve this goal, the researcher used a descriptive approach as an appropriate method to achieve the study objectives. The study sample consisted of 82 female mathematics teachers, and the researcher used a questionnaire as a tool for the study, consisting of 21 items distributed over five domains. The study reached a set of results, where the first domain obtained an arithmetic mean of 2.236 and a standard deviation of 426, with a moderate level of agreement. The second domain obtained an arithmetic mean of 2.254 and a standard deviation of 465, with a moderate level of agreement. The third domain obtained an arithmetic mean of 2.305 and a standard deviation of 524, with a moderate level of agreement. The fourth domain obtained an arithmetic mean of 2.47 and a standard deviation of 505, with a high level of agreement. The fifth domain obtained an arithmetic mean of 2.35 and a standard deviation of 512. In light of these results, the study presented a number of recommendations and proposals.
