Abstract

The main aim of this paper is to identify research skills needed for a training program in Mathematics teaching methods designed for newly started math faculty members in order to improve their research aptitude, moreover, the study tries to find out which aspects of research skills are more needed for the training program. The analytical descriptive method is used. A questionnaire for collecting data was prepared. The validity, reliability, and consistency of the questionnaire were checked. A random sample covered 7 private universities 50% of the private universities in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq were chosen. The (SPSS) was used, and mean, standard deviation correlation, and ANOVA were used for processing the data. The study found out there is a crucial need for research skills in all six research aspects.
