Effectiveness of a Technology-Based Program in Science for Eighth-Grade Students "Shaheed Sami Hijazi Secondary School for Boys as a Model"

Abstract

The aim of the current study is to explore the building of a smart technology-based program to gain basic chemical concepts and develop skills in the unit of our life chemistry with the chemistry book scheduled for the basic eighth grade students for the second semester of the year (2023/2024) The research sample consisted of 48 students from the male martyr Sami Hijazi High School of General Education in Tulkarm for the academic year (223/2024) and 22 students from a female officer's sample who teaches the unit in the usual way; (26) students with an experimental sample subject to the smart technology-based programme, the group has been homogenized in terms of (degree of educational achievement in chemistry for the first grade and the previous year - age - type of education (general); The programme shall be from (8) sessions to gain the basic chemical concepts identified after analysis of the unit's content; The sessions were applied over five weeks at a rate in the scheduled science classes, in the second semester. Results resulted in statistically significant discrepancies between control group score averages and pilot group in dimensional measurement on my test (conceptual acquisition - skills) in favour of the pilot group, and the ETA equation confirmed that there was a significant volume of the impact of experimental treatment on the overall degree of skills metric. (87.9%), indicating the programme's effectiveness in developing skills, the research recommended that the use of smart technology in teaching natural sciences should be applied as an effective method of achieving skills development goals at various levels of education, including the higher basic level, especially in the current circumstances, which prevent the completion of the educational process in its basic form.
