Abstract The occurrence of rapid and successive developments in the field of education technology and their relation with teaching and education processes has led to the evolution of the concept of education technology from the narrow concept of separate and ready means to a broad and comprehensive concept to design educational attitudes that contribute to the development of education and solving its problems. Based on this concept, the introduction of technology has been introduced to schools as an example of a model that helps and leads to the restructuring of schools to meet the goals of education, which any advanced society seeks to achieve or on its way of progress. Hypermedia are considered of the most modern technological innovations used in addressing some of the educational problems, which have become a very spread in the presence of a huge amount of information and concepts that must be absorbed by the learner, and that requires us to be fully aware of the requirements of the times, which are that we should teach a learner how to learn and how to think, not only teach him to collect information. There are many previous studies that have dealt with the superior structure of methods and its impact on educational achievement and activating the educational situation. Researcher came to important points by analyzing these studies namely: 1. Many studies have confirmed the effectiveness of high achievement by comparing them to the traditional teaching methods, as well as comparing them to the hypertext and multimedia means. 2. Most studies have focused on the design of hypermedia software according to a variety of navigation patterns, different display patterns, and measure the impact on academic achievement. 3. Some studies aimed at identifying the standards and models for the effective design of educational hypermedia software, without seeking to find effective standards and models for the design of hypermedia software for integrated high educational courses. The rapid developments that occur in the world today require the officials of education in many countries of the world to consider the plans and programs of education in line with these developments and changes. The curriculum is the axis of the educational process and thus they become more susceptible than others to changes and improvements. The views and ideas put forward to improve the curriculum abounded and have been developed to help today’s students to keep abreast of these developments, and giving them the knowledge, skills and expertise, in order to become active members of their communities. Ideas that have been put forward and implemented included the idea of integrative curriculum. Perhaps one of the justifications for concern of the integration of the curriculum and the call to apply them is what was revealed by the literature of education as one of the prominent approaches in student preparation in an integrated and balanced way and to provide him with a system of knowledge, experience and trends, which enables him to deal consciously, flexibility and an open mind with problems of the current age and complex issues, and giving him communication and understanding skills with others, and work with them as a team. Understanding the Problem: - By review of previous studies and research: - Researcher felt that all the recent studies of education technology and education call for the need for attention to educational software whether produced in the form of multi-media, or hypermedia and work to transform the learning process from the traditional education based on book to e-learning in the form of multi-media and hypermedia, as they recommended the interest in using hypermedia technology in teaching courses because of their many advantages, with interest in producing according to specific technical standards to help achieve the educational goals required, also stressed the need to focus on the production and development of computer educational programs that serve all the courses, and the expansion of its design and posted on the Internet. from this point it became necessary to develop the courses of the Egyptian education at all levels. Problem of the Research: - In light of the above, the research problem was reflected in: A large gap between educational materials leading to poor achievement of many of the scientific concepts, which leads to weak tendency towards scientific study as a whole, the extent of the impact of integration as an entry point to build the curriculum to increase achievement in those materials and an increased tendency toward scientific study. from this perspective it is clear that the research problem represents a tangible reality so the need to study it becomes a matter of urgency to learn how to organize, design, and implement it, to be able to develop it on a scientific basis, making it an educational entity to overcome the difficulties faced by traditional education systems for pupils of elementary school. The researcher has found that it is effective and educationally useful to employ this in .... ”building proposal based on the hypermedia for integration between some courses and measure the extent of effectiveness in the development of achievement and trends of the primary school pupils.” This means to find a link between certain courses that are taught to primary stage considering that this stage is characterized by interdependence between the courses and especially the first years and to analyze their content, objectives and activities for common concepts between these courses, and then take these concepts and build a proposed model for the integration of these courses using certain navigation patters available in hypermedia software, and take into account the advantages and possibilities of this kind of software, also take into account the requirements and needs of the students of this phase. - So as to maximize the optimum use of this kind of learning. - Take advantage of the integration between courses to deliver knowledge to students in a wider and clearer way and ensure obtaining good results of this learning. Researcher through this research tried to answer the next primary questions: ”What is the design proposed for a model based on hypermedia of integration between certain courses and effectiveness in achievement development and trends among primary school students.” The secondary questions emerged from the primary question: 1. What are the standard levels to build a model based on the hypermedia of the integrated school courses? 2. What is the image of the proposed model based on hypermedia of integration between the integrated school courses in the light of the previous list of standard levels? 3. What is the effectiveness of this model in the development of cognitive achievement among students? 4. What is the effectiveness of this model in the development of students’ attitudes to learn about the proposed model? Research objectives: - The objective of the present research is to: - 1. Identify a list of standard levels to build a model based on the hypermedia of the integrated courses. 2. Build a proposed model based on hypermedia of integration between certain courses in the light of the previous list of standard levels. 3. Detect the effectiveness of the proposed model in the development of cognitive achievement among students. 4. Find a measure of their attitudes toward learning the proposed model. The importance of research: - The results of this research are expected to contribute as follows: - 1. The optimum use of the hypermeida software in the design of educational software of various educational stages. 2. Help curriculum planners of what should be the complementary relationship between courses. 3. The current research may contribute to open the fieled before other research and studies concerned with the application of integration between the academic courses in particular. 4. The current research seeks to use the approach of modern technology in the design and provision of academic courses. 5. The present reseach may contribute in the transfer of the educational process from the stagnation and theory to application and flexibility concerning the use of integration between academic studies. Limitations of Research: - The current research was limited to the following limits: - - Human limitations. Primary Fourth Grade from the first cycle of basic education. - Thematic limitations. Three units of the courses of the Arabic language, social studies, and mathematics. - Time limits The research experiment has been applied during the academic year 2014 – 2015 - Spatial limitations Taha Hussein Elementary School at Nozha El Gadida, as its computers are of high specifications suitable for the use of hypermedia software. Research hypotheses: - 1.
