درجة ممارسة معلمي العلوم للعمليات العقلية للتوجهات الدولية للعلوم والرياضيات في ضوء بعض المتغيرات (timss)
This study aimed to identify the degree to which science teachers practice mental processes of international trends in science and mathematics (TIMSS) in light of some variables. The study sample consisted of science teachers in government schools affiliated to the Directorate of Education for the Northeastern Badia of Mafraq Governorate. The sample size is (70) male and female teachers, they were distributed to (20) male and female schools. The study tool (a questionnaire) was developed to measure the degree of practice of mental processes standards for International Trends in Science and Mathematics (TIMSS). The descriptive analytical approach was used in analyzing the data and extracting the results of the study. The results of the study showed that the degree of science teachers ’practice of mental processes standards for international trends of science came in a moderate degree, and the results also showed that there are no statistically significant differences at the level of significance (α = 0.05) attributable to the gender variable in all study dimensions. The results also showed that there is no statistically differences at the level of significance (α = 0.05) due to the effect of experience in all dimensions except in the dimension of inference, and for those with experience (less than 5 years). The results also showed that there are no statistically significant differences at the level of significance (α = 0.05) due to the effect of the interaction between gender and experience in all dimensions. Based on the results of the study, the researcher recommended the necessity of focusing on the international standards contained in the science curricula during the teaching by the students themselves.
