The current research aimed to identify the effectiveness of MOOCs as an electronic training platform for the professional development of science teachers in Jeddah. The researcher used the semi-experimental approach in a one-group design. The experiment was applied to the basic sample of research (30) Education East Jeddah Girls, who received the active learning course through direct training, were randomly selected unintentionally. The researcher used two tools to collect information and data related to the study: N of (20) paragraph tribal dish and Uday, in addition to a questionnaire to measure the sample satisfaction MOOCs as a platform for distance training, consisting of (48) paragraph. The data of this study were analyzed using the statistical packages of social programs (SPSS) according to the following statistical methods: arithmetical mean, standard deviation and t value for the pre-test and final test scores by t-test for two independent sample samples, Eta coefficient of impact measurement, Cronbach's Alpha coefficient for measurement of test stability, consistency of satisfaction criterion, and arithmetic averages and standard deviations of responses of study group members in the satisfaction questionnaire. The study reached several results, the most important of which are: MOOCs achieved an efficiency level in the results of the achievement test with an average of (5.17) score for pre-test compared to (19.63) in the post-test. The size of the calculated effect reached (0.99). This means that the size of the impact is great for the use of open source electronic courses (MOOCs) in the professional development of science teachers in Jeddah. There is satisfaction with science teachers on the use of MOOCs in their professional development, where the mean is 4.37, indicating that there is satisfaction (strongly agree) on the questionnaire of satisfaction with the use of MOOCs as a distance training platform for the professional development of them The standard deviation of the general arithmetic mean (0.119), which is a value and a sign of the great homogeneity between the responses of the members of the research sample (science parameters) on the expressions of satisfaction questionnaire. In light of the results, the researcher presented a set of recommendations, the most important of which are: To promote the culture of e-learning using electronic educational platforms MOOCs. Provide open and continuous training programs for in-service teachers for their effectiveness and development. Offering more training courses for electronic platforms carrying the specifications of MOOCs. Taking advantage of the current study tools, namely (the achievement test- the measure of satisfaction) to assess the   impact of professional development For science teachers in Jeddah.
