Abstract EN

This study aimed at investigating the impact of the students’ understanding of the nature of the scientific track.

The population of the study consisted of all Physics, Chemistry, and Earth Science students of the faculty of science at Al-Yarmouk University during the academic year 2018/2019.

The total number of the students was (1270), while the sample of the study consisted of (223) students who were randomly selected.

In order to collect the data, the test of understanding the nature of the scientific track was implemented.

It consisted of (26) items.

The validity and reliability of the test were verified.

The results indicated that there were statistically significant differences (α=0.5) due to the academic achievement in favor of high achievement students, and gender in favor of females.

The results showed no statistically significant differences due to the specialization and academic year, and the existence of statistically significant differences due to the effect of the interaction between the specialization and the academic year.

The results also showed no statistically significant differences in terms of the effect of the interaction between specialization and academic achievement, and between specialization and gender.

The results of the study equally demonstrated a correlation between students’ understanding of the nature of the scientific track at the faculty of science with academic year, academic achievement, and gender, and the absence of correlation between understanding the nature of the scientific track and the specialization.
