Abstract EN

Today, human is on the threshold of a fourth industrial revolution that will bring dramatic changes in all aspects of life and work in the future.

It will also impose enormous challenges on the curricula of the technical education to prepare workforce that adapts with these changes and fill the gaps that will emerge as a result of rapid scientific and technological developments.

In light of this, the current study aimed to develop the cognitive flexibility, attitude towards change making, and the scientific achievement of the technical secondary schools' students by using a suggested curriculum in physics based on vocations of the future.

To accomplish this purpose, a list of vocations of the future, which are suitable for technical secondary Schools' students were prepared.

A list of skills needed for these vocations were prepared.

The researchers used the list of vocations and skills to prepare the general framework the proposed physics curriculum.

To verify the effectiveness of the proposed curriculum, a unite was chosen, detailed construction.

A cognitive flexibility scale, an attitude towards change making scale, and achievement test were prepared.

A quasi-experimental pre-test/posttest experimental/control group design was utilized.

The data collection instruments were used as pre-tests before the implementation and as post-tests at the end of the implementation.

Results indicated that using the suggested curriculum in physics has a positive effect on students’ cognitive flexibility, attitude towards change making, and scientific achievement.

In light of these results, the researchers recommended that the physics curricula in technical education should move forward towards the future and develop them to be capable of adapting vocations of today and ready for vocations of the future.
