درجة تضمين عادات العقل في كتب الفيزياء للمرحلة الثانوية في قطر والأردن وفلسطين : دراسة مقارنة
The study aims to discover the degree to which physics textbooks in secondary education in Qatar, Jordan, and Palestine incorporate “Habits of Mind”. Additionally, it compares these countries in terms of the inclusion of these habits in their textbooks. To achieve the study's objectives, the researchers employed content analysis. A content analysis tool was developed to monitor the five main Habits of Mind derived from Project (2061) of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). These are: “values and attitudes”, “computation and estimation”, “manual control and observation”, “communication and connection skills”, and “critical response skills.” The study's sample consisted of physics textbooks for the second secondary class during the first semester of the 2022-2023 academic year, as prescribed by the Ministries of Education, in addition to the activity book accompanying the second secondary textbook in Jordan. The results indicated a weakness in incorporating Habits of Mind into general secondary textbooks. There was also significant variation in the inclusion of the main Habits of Mind in science books, with the habit of “manual control and observation” ranking first with (281) repetitions, accounting for 48% and a high degree. However, notably, the habits of “values and attitudes” and “critical response skills” were weakly represented. At the country level, the habit of manual control and observation ranked first in all countries, while the skill of critical response came last. Based on these results, the study recommends conducting more research and including Habits of Mind in all science textbooks. (Published abstract)
