استراتيجية مقترحة لتنمية الوعي بقضايا المعلوماتية الحيوية لدى طلاب كلية التربية

الملخص EN

The present research aims at finding out the effectiveness of a proposed strategy in bioinformatics on developing awareness of emerging bioethical issues among students of the Faculty of Education.

To achieve the goal of the research, the proposed strategy was applied using the quasi-experimental design to a group (28 males and females) of the Faculty of Education students – Biology major - during the second semester of the academic year 2019/2020.

The research tools, pre and post tests of awareness of bioethical issues (including its three dimensions: cognitive - skill – emotional), were applied to the group in order to identify differences between the results of the pre and post tests.

The results showed that there are significant differences at (0.01) between the mean scores of the experimental group students in the pre and post tests of awareness of bioethical issues as a whole and for each one of the dimensions separately in favor of the post application of the tests.

The results also indicated that the proposed strategy is effective in developing awareness of bioethical issues among student teachers, the research group.

In light of these results, it is recommended to prepare training programs for in-service teachers to provide them with knowledge, develop their awareness of emerging ethical issues related to biology, and train them on appropriate methods of integrating and teaching them to students.

It also recommends studying impact of strategies and other teaching inputs that develop awareness of bioinformatics issues.
