تقويم محتوى منهج العلوم للصف الثالث الإعدادي في ضوء مهارات التفكير المستقبلي

Abstract EN

The research aimed to evaluate the content of the third preparatory year science curriculum in light of the skills of the future thinking.

The research sample included all the topics mentioned in the science course book for the academic year 2017/2018 for the first and second semesters.

Analyzing the curriculum was delimited to the student's book without the teacher's guide.

The research is descriptive using an instrument for content analysis.

The instrument was developed in light of future thinking skills, which consisted of 41 sub-skills representing four main areas, namely; problem solving skills, expectation skills, prediction skills, and visualization skills.

The results of the research showed that content of the science book included only three areas of future thinking skills with different percentages.

The prediction skills ranked the first with 56.23%, followed by the expectation skills at 31.31%.

The visualization skills ranked the third with 12.46%,while the future problem solving skills was not included in the science book for the third preparatory grade.

Based on the findings of the theoretical and experimental framework of the research, a proposal was suggested to incorporate future thinking skills into the content of the third preparatory year science curriculum.
