Abstract EN

The present research aimed to identify the comprehension level of physics science nature among secondary school physics teachers, teaching methods they made use of, and the relationship among them.

The researcher used the descriptive analytical approach, and designed two research tools: physics science nature test, and teaching methods questionnaire.

The researcher selected a random sample of Gazan secondary school physics teachers (30) of whom were males and (28) were females.

He used means, percentages, t.

test, ANOVA, Scheffee test and Pearson coefficient correlation as statistical techniques.

The results were as follows; (1) comprehension level of physics nature among the sample was (72.66%); (2) there was a difference of statistical significance in the mean scores of science nature comprehension among the sample attributable to sex and in favor of females; (3) There were no statistically significant differences in the mean scores of the science nature comprehension in the sample attributable to teaching experience; (4) the most frequently used teaching methods were discussion , moving forward in solving physics problems, giving examples, concept maps, analogies, deduction, and brainstorming, (5) there was a relationship between the physics nature comprehension and teaching methods in physics teaching.
