التكامل بين التعلم المتوافق مع الدماغ و"علوم المواطن" Citizen Science في تنمية الاستيعاب المفاهيمي و"مهارات الحياة والمهنة" والاهتمام بالعلم لدى تلاميذ المرحلة الإعدادية

Abstract

The current research aimed to develop conceptual understanding, life and career skills, and interest in science for students of the first grade of middle school by using a proposed instructional model based on the integration between brain compatible learning and citizen science projects. To achieve this aim, the descriptive method and the two groups -control and experimental-method were used. The tools of the research included: a test of conceptual understanding, an observation sheet of life and career skills, and a scale of interest in science. The research experiment was applied to a control group represented by 17 students and an experimental group formed of 20 students from the first grade of middle school in the academic year 2021-2022. The main results indicated: the development of conceptual understanding, life and career skills, and interest in science for students of the first grade of middle school who used the proposed instructional model based on the integration between brain compatible learning and citizen science projects. In light of the research results, the recommendations emphasized: the need to include the proposed instructional model in pre-service and in-service teacher education programs and encourage partnership among science teachers, students and Egyptian university professors to work on developing citizen science projects.
