وحدة مقترحة في "نظريات نشأة الكون" لتنمية فهم العلاقة بين العلم و الدين و مهارة الجدل العلمي لدى تلاميذ المرحلة الإعدادية

Abstract EN

The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a suggested unit in " Theories of the Universe's Origin" in developing the middle school students' understanding the relationship between science and religion and their scientific argumentation skill.

To accomplish this purpose, the suggested unit was prepared in details.

A test of understanding the relationship between science and religion and a scale of the scientific argumentation were prepared.

A quasi-experimental pre-test/post-test experimental/control group design was utilized.

The data collection instruments were used as pre-tests before the implementation and as post-tests at the end of the implementation.

Results indicated that the suggested unite has a positive effect on students' understanding the relationship between science and religion and their scientific argumentation skill.

In light of these results, the research recommended the curricula developer to include the big questions that bridge science and religion, and recommended the science teacher to make efforts to achieve a flexibility that allows the students to argue the relationship between science and religion.
