Yet, this study aimed to explore PSSTs' understanding level of SRHs (SRHUL).

To this end.

an action research (AR) was adopted using a pre-post-test design.

In doing so.

a multiple choice test consists of 15 items was developed and conducted on a random sample consisted of 120 subjects.

Results of the study revealed that participants showed insufficient performance on the test of understanding scientific research hypotheses (SRHUT) for both pre and post-test.

Besides, results of t-test showed a significant difference between mean scores of pre-test and post-test which was in favor of post-test.

Also results of one-way ANOVA revealed a non-significant difference between or within mean scores of compared groups.
