فاعلية برنامج تدريبي قائم على معايير العلوم "NGSS" في تحسين كفايات التصميم العكسي للفهم العميق لدى معلمي العلوم الحياتية

Abstract EN

The aim of the research is to demonstrate the effectiveness of a training program based on NGSS standards in improving the performance competencies of Backwards Design for life science teachers in Gaza.

The researchers followed the experimental approach according to the design of one group (before/after), and the research sample consisted of (32) male/female teachers for the stage (9-12), and the training program was built based on the NGSS criteria.

Verifying the validity and reliability of the research tool.

The results of the research showed that there was a statistically significant difference at the level of significance (α = 0.01) between the mean scores of life science teachers, before and after, in the observation card of the performance competencies in favor of the post application, The results showed that the total score for performance competencies according to McGuigan's coefficient was (0.66), which indicates the existence of the effectiveness of the training program, The researchers recommend conducting more studies that deal with the effectiveness of a training program based on science standards (NGSS) to improve the teaching practices of teachers and measure its impact on the development of thinking for their students, and training teachers to employ the Backwards Design model for deep understanding through holding training programs, workshops and seminars on reverse planning.
