أثر تدريس مادة العلوم باستخدام طريقة هوكنز في تنمية حب الاستطلاع العلمي لدى طلبة المرحلة الأساسية المتوسطة

Abstract EN

This study aimed at investigating the effect of teaching science using Hawkins methods in developing scientific curiosity among students of 6th grade from one of Zarqa city school/Jordan in the first semester of the academic year 2018/2019.

The subjects of the study consisted of 63 students, divided into two groups: the experimental group of 32 students was taught the "Electricity in our life" unit using Hawkins method and the control group 31 was taught the same unit by the traditional method.

To achieve the objectives of the study, a quasi-experimental approach was used.

A valid and reliable curiosity scale was prepared and applied on the subjects of the study before conducting the experiment to test the equivalence of the two groups, and after conducting the experiment to achieve the aim of the study.

The result revealed statistically significant differences in the students' curiosity due to the method of teaching in favor of the experimental group which was taught according to Hawkins method.

In light of the result, the study recommended that science teachers should use Hawkins method in teaching science.
