Overview

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the development of teaching strategies for thermodynamic topics and improving understanding and application through practical experiences among mechanical engineering students in Iraq, and the researcher relied on the descriptive approach to describe the variables of the study and the problem of the study and its interpretation to reach the required results. The researcher reached through reviewing many previous Arab and foreign studies that dealt with practical experiences and the development of teaching strategies to the following results: There is an impact of developing teaching strategies for thermodynamics topics on improving understanding and application through practical experiences among mechanical engineering students in Iraq. As the results of the study showed that the use of scientific experiments helps teachers to clarify and explain everything related to the laws and ideas of this subject, through practical and direct application to the thermal machine in front of learners, which increases their ability to explore everything related to the thermal machine by applying the laws of thermodynamics to it in front of them, Accordingly, the researcher recommends increasing reliance on practical experiments while explaining thermodynamics, increasing the time allocated for its application, and updating and developing the tools and machines in the thermodynamics laboratory at the College of Mechanical Engineering in Iraq.
