الملخص EN

The aim of the research was; to identify the degree of practice of the chemistry teachers of needham’s five phases constructivism model, to measure the level of their reflective thinking, and to determine the nature of the relationship between the practice of needham’s five phases constructivism model and the level of their reflective thinking when teaching chemistry course for the secondary stage in the city of Mecca, And to check the validity of the following hypotheses: the level of reflective thinking among the chemistry teachers in the secondary level is less than 75%, and there is no correlation between the degree of the practice of chemistry teachers of the stages of needham’s five phases constructivism model when teaching the chemistry course for the secondary level and level of reflective thinking among them.

In order to achieve this, the research used the analytical descriptive method to answer its questions and verify the validity of its hypotheses.

The research was carried out on a sample of chemistry teachers in the city of Mecca and the number was (30) teachers from the chemistry teachers in the city of Mecca.

The researcher also prepared a note taking card that included the five stages of needham’s five phases constructivism model: orientation, generation of Idea, restructuring of Idea, application of Idea and reflection, and teaching practices at each stage, the researcher also prepared a reflective thinking scale for the following skills: Visual Vision, Detecting fallacies, Reaching conclusions, Providing persuasive explanations, Developing proposed solutions.

The research was applied in the first semester of the academic year 1439/1440 H.

The results showed that the degree of practice of the chemistry teachers of needham’s five phases constructivism model was moderate, ranging from 43% to 71%, with an average of 53.1%.

In addition, the level of reflective thinking of the chemistry teachers "the research sample" was close to the average ranging between 36% to 68%, an average of 47.73%, and the existence of a correlation between the practice of the chemistry teachers of needham’s five phases constructivism model and the level of reflective thinking among them.

The research has led to a number of recommendations, including the training of science teachers in general and the chemistry teachers in particular on the use of needham’s five phases constructivism model in teaching.
