درجة امتلاك معلمي العلوم لمهارات القرن الحادي والعشرين في مدارس قضاء بعقوبة

Abstract

This study aimed to assess the extent to which science teachers in morning primary schools in Baqubah District apply twenty-first-century skills. The researchers employed a descriptive research design and developed a questionnaire for this purpose after establishing its validity and reliability. The study sample consisted of 20 male and female teachers who were selected randomly. The findings revealed a low level of science teachers’ application of twenty-first-century skills, both on the questionnaire as a whole and across most of its domains. The results also indicated that there were no statistically significant differences in the level of science teachers’ application of twenty-first-century skills according to the variables of academic qualification, professional rank, and years of teaching experience. The researchers recommended enhancing the level of teachers’ application of twenty-first-century skills and considering the level of their practice of these skills as a criterion for the annual evaluation of science teachers.
