Abstract
The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of mutual education, direct explanation of problem solving skills and learning speed of fifth grade female students in Shiraz. The present study is a quasi-experimental study in which 34 students from the fifth grade female students in Shiraz were selected using cluster sampling. Research tools included problem solving skills and learning speed questionnaires. Data analysis was performed by multivariate analysis of covariance using SPSS-22 software. The results showed that cross-training, direct explanation had a significant effect on increasing problem-solving skills (Partial =2 = 0.51, p = 0.001, F = 53.15). Also, cross-training, direct explanation had an increase on speed. Learning (=2 = Partial, p = 0.001, F = 29.47) had a significant effect. Also, the effectiveness of mutual education was higher than the direct explanation of problem solving skills and students' learning speed (p <0.05). The present study showed that mutual education and direct explanation improve the level of problem solving skills and students' learning speed. Accordingly, students learn in the process of mutual education and direct explanation (especially in mutual education) to be more efficient than problem solving in the learning process, and in this way, the level of problem-solving skills and speed of learning.
