برنامج قائم على المدخل البيئي لتنمية بعض مفاهيم علوم الأرض وأثره على السلوك الاستكشافي لدى أطفال الروضة

Abstract EN

The objective of the current research is to develop some of the earth science concepts of kindergarten children using an environmental approach -based program and its impact on their exploratory behavior, the sample consisted of a group of (70) children of level KG2 in one of Assiut educational directorate kindergartens.

the group was divided into two subgroup (experimental and officer) of (35) children each.

the researcher prepared the following research materials: a list of geosciences concepts suitable for the kindergarten child and a list of the dimensions of the exploratory behavior of the kindergarten child.

a program based on the environmental approach for the development of some of the earth sciences concepts of the kindergarten child has also been prepared.

research measurement tools have also been prepared: the test of earth science concepts depicted for the kindergarten child, the scale of exploratory behavior for the kindergarten child.

the results of the research revealed that there were statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the experimental and control groups on the research tools in the post application in favor of the experimental group.

it was also found that there were statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the experimental group in the two applications, before and after, on the research tools in favor of the post application, and there was also a positive, statistically significant correlation between the scores of children in the illustrated earth science concepts test and their scores in the exploratory behavior scale after applying the the program.
