مهارات حل المسائل الفيزيائية الرياضية لدى مدرسي الفيزياء للمرحلة الثانوية

الملخص EN

The aim of the current research is to identify the extent to which secondary school physics teachers possess the skills to solve physical problems and to identify the differences in their physical problem solving skills according to the gender variables.

The research identified physics teachers in secondary schools affiliated with the Directorate of Education in al-Diwaniyah, for the academic year 2020-2021, and the sample size was (160) teachers who were randomly selected, and by reviewing some studies that dealt with physical problem solving skills, such as the study of (Islami et al., 2018).

and study (Prasetyo, 2020).

It was found that these studies share a number of points with the current research, but they did not provide a tool for measuring physical problem solving skills.

Therefore, the researcher designed a scale of physical problem solving skills, which consisted of (32) items.

After the exploratory application, the validity and stability of the study tool was confirmed by appropriate methods, and the correlation of the item’s degree with the total score was calculated, and after applying the test to the sample, the data was processed statistically, as the researcher used the equation of the t-test for one sample to verify that physics teachers possess the skills of solving Physical problems, and the results showed that teachers of physics possess the skills to solve physical problems, and the statistical method was used to verify the differences in the skills of solving physical problems according to gender variables (male and female), and the results showed that there are differences in favor of (male) and the researcher recommended in the light of Results Preparing special training programs by the Ministry of Education to develop physical problem solving skills among physics teachers, and suggested the need to focus on the diversity of solving processes based on physical problem solving skills.
