The extent to which science teachers at the intermediate stage practice teaching according to STEM curriculum
Main Article Content
Abstract
The current research aims to:
1-Identifying the extent to which science teachers practice teaching in the intermediate stage of teaching according to the (STEM) curriculum.
2-To identify whether there are statistically significant differences between the practices of science teachers in the intermediate stage of teaching according to the (STEM) curriculum as a result of the variable of experience.
The number of the research community members reached (397) science subject teachers in the intermediate school that affiliated to the Directorate of Education in Dhi Qar / Al-Rifai Education Department, and the number of the research sample members were (90) science teachers in the intermediate school.
The researcher reached the following results:
1- There are differences between the hypothetical average and the arithmetic average in favor of the hypothetical mean in the research sample in the practice of science teachers in the intermediate stage to teach according to the (STEM) curriculum, which means that the teaching practices of science teachers in the intermediate stage according to the (STEM) curriculum are not achieved.
2- The number of realized items in the teaching observation card according to the (STEM) curriculum amounted to (3) items, and with a percentage of (6,122%), while the number of unrealized items in the observation card reached (46) items with a percentage of (93,78%).
3- There are no statistically significant differences in the research sample about the practice of science teachers in the intermediate stage of teaching according to the (STEM) curriculum due to the variable of experience.
