فاعلية برنامج في العلوم البيولوجية قائم على التعلم المدمج في تنمية التحصيل و بعض المهارات الحياتية و التفكير الناقد لدى طلاب المرحلة الثانوية

Abstract EN

The study aimed at identifying the effectiveness of a program in Biological sciences based on blended learning in developing achievement, some life skills and critical thinking for secondary- one students.

Group of the study consisted of 70 secondary-one students, who were divided into two matching groups: one experimental composed of 35 students; and the other control, composed of another 35 students.

The tools and materials of the study involved a program in biological sciences based on blended learning that includes: an educational website, a student’s handbook, a teacher’s guide, an achievement test, two tools for measuring life skills (i.e.

life skills test and an observation sheet), and a critical thinking test.

The present study reached the following conclusions: 1) there is a statistically significant difference at the level 0.01 level between the means of scores of the experimental group students in both the pre and post- administration of the achievement test, for the post-administration.

2) There is a statistically significant difference at the 0.01 level between the means of scores of both the experimental and the control group in the post-administration of the achievement test, for the experimental group.

3) There is a statistically significant difference at the level 0.01 between the means of scores of the experimental group students in both the pre and post- administration of the life-skills test, for the post-administration.

4) There is a statistically significant difference at the 0.01 level between the means of scores of both the experimental and the control group in the post-administration of the life-skills test, for the experimental group.

5) There is a statistically significant difference at the level 0.01 between the means of scores of the experimental group students in both the pre and post- administration of the critical-thinking test, for the post-administration.

6) There is a statistically significant difference at the level 0.01 between the means of scores of both the experimental group and the control group in the post-administration of the critical-thinking test, for the experimental group.
