دور مقرر الفيزياء للصف الثالث الثانوي في تنمية إتجاهات الطلاب نحو تقنية الاتصالات المعاصرة
This research aims at evaluating the role of physics curriculum in the high secondary school's third year in developing the trends of students towards the communication technology; through investigating teacher's and physics instructors' point of view in the secondary schools about the objectives of the curriculum; the contents of the scientific subject; the illustrations and drawings related to communication technology ; the adopted teaching methodologies in teaching physics and the teacher's inclination to develop the students trends towards communication technology. The researcher adopts the descriptive method, and the questionnaire as the research tool .A random sample is also selected. The researcher uses the mathematic mean method and the percentage to statistically analyze the data. The most outstanding outcomes of the research are: 1) The objectives of physics curriculum for the secondary school third year does not contains skillful aspects, and other aspects related to using communication technology to solve problems. 2) The study curriculum related to communication technology is insufficient to develop student's trend towards the communications. 3) Illustrations, drawing and drills related to communication technology in the third year's curriculum need revision and amendment. 4) Teachers are not trained according to modern teaching methodologies that lead students develop their competencies in communication technology. 5) The adopted teaching methodologies in teaching physics curriculum of the third year secondary school provide participation in teaching process. The most outstanding recommendation of the research are as follows: 1) Perform training seminars for teachers on modern teaching methodologies that include the objectives of the new curriculum, and to train teachers to modern teaching methods. 2) To pay much concern to scientific activities and use it in teaching the physics curriculum in the secondary schools. 3) Much concern shall be paid to educational infrastructure though official governmental support.
