تحليل محتوى كتب الفيزياء في المملكة العربية السعودية في ضوء التصميم الهندسي لمعايير الجيل القادم للعلوم NGSS

Abstract EN

This study aimed to analyze content of physics textbooks according to Engineering Design of Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS).

Population of the study consisted of all physics textbooks in secondary stage (course system), while its sample consisted of all the activities in physics textbooks.

To achieve the aim of the study, a descriptive analytical method was used, through designing analysis tool based on engineering design of the NGSS in three dimensions, namely: Disciplinary Core Ideas, Science and Engineering Practices, and Crosscutting Concepts.

A pilot study was conducted to assure the validity and reliability of the analysis tool.

The overall results showed that all three dimensions was included in all physics textbook, with low percentage of (33.33% ).

More specifically, Science and Engineering Practices was the most included dimension with (56.5% ), followed by Disciplinary Core Ideas with (29.8% ), ending by Crosscutting Concepts with very low percentage of (13.7% ).

Furthermore, results showed variation of inclusion levels of standards in each dimension.

Results found no statistically significant differences between physics textbooks with regard to inclusion level of engineering design standards of the NGSS.
