Teaching concept:
Teaching has many concepts and various definitions, and knowing its meaning is
essential, as it is needed by the teacher who will carry out the teaching process, the
student who will participate in it, and the director who supervises the institution in
which teaching takes place. One of his duties may be to know whether each teacher
he has is performing the teaching process or not? The educational
mentor/supervisor whose work is related to evaluating the teaching process to
determine the strengths and weaknesses in the teacher’s work or to issue a
judgment on the teacher’s ability to teach students, and knowing the meaning of
teaching for every teacher is important because; Because the teacher’s educational
thought has a profound impact on the teaching process in all its aspects. There are
some teachers who believe that teaching is merely a transfer of information from
the teacher to the learner, and this type of teachers makes him unique in the
educational situation, emphasizing the importance of the teacher’s book.
Question:
Is the previous concept of teaching consistent with the age of cognitive
explosion? Explain the reasons?
...........................................................................................................................

There are some teachers who believe that teaching is a process of interaction,
guidance, and the practice of multiple activities that depend on the students’
effectiveness and efforts, and the teacher’s direction and guidance, because
teaching involves modifying behavior through the experiences that the students
are prepared for or go through. He believes that his role in the teaching process is
limited to playing the role of an assistant. Directing it to a plan for its stimuli, it must
therefore determine the goals that should be achieved, the activities that the
learners will undertake to achieve them, and what can stimulate the learners’
effectiveness to do or be directed to it.
There are those who define teaching as the process by which the teacher creates
opportunities for students to learn, and that it includes all decisions and activities
related to implementing the curriculum, including the learning and guidance
processes used to influence the learner in order to achieve desired educational
goals. According to this definition, the teaching process, the roles of the teacher
the learner inside and outside the classroom, the type of classroom interaction
between the teacher and the learner, and the way students are seated and
organized
Within the class, whether individually, small groups, or large groups, and the time
during which teaching takes place.
Feedback Feedback
Training:
• Compare the previous definitions.
• Explain the strengths and weaknesses of each.
• Select the definition that you prefer more than others and explain the reasons.

In light of the above analytical description of the teaching process, it can be said
that:
Teaching: A purposeful, planned human activity in which interaction takes place
between teacher, learner, and subject of learning in the presence of a fertile
environment for learning. As a result of this interaction, progress occurs in the
learner’s cognitive, emotional, and skill aspects, and he is subjected to a
comprehensive and continuous evaluation process.
Teaching components:
Teaching has four basic components: -
Teaching objectives,
Teaching content (learning experiences),
Teaching methods and activities,
Assessment teaching outcomes.
These four components are so intertwined and interacting that it is difficult to
separate them. In light of the lesson objectives, the teaching content, experiences,
methods and activities are determined and the achievement of
Lesson objectives: Its outcomes (teaching and learning outcomes) are measured
and assessed, then teaching paths and directions are developed or modified and
even its content also.
Activity:
Design a diagram of your own that explains the components of the teaching
process.
Share this diagram with your colleagues, and discuss with them the
differences between your design and your colleagues' designs.

Initiation Activity
What do you think of the following statement?
-If I had eight hours to cut down a tree, I would spend six hours sharpening the
saw.
-If you don't want to get tired, then make an effort so that you don't get tired.
Participate
Tell your group members about a situation that happened with you personally
(or with one of your colleagues) ... a situation in which you were exposed to
confusion as a result of not preparing the lesson well.
Experience has proven that preparing lessons for all teachers, at all levels, and that
negligence, neglect, or haste in it, puts the teacher in critical situations in front of
his students and subordinates, and the teacher who does not make a plan for his
lesson is exposed to confusion, distraction, and forgetting some important
elements of the subject. And hesitation in his information, and therefore, before
teaching, he must prepare the plan for the lesson, taking into account the students’
ages, abilities, and experiences, and determine the goal of his lesson, and explain
the stages of its progress in it, and the time required for its implementation, and
then specify the means that will help him achieve his goals, as he should. He must
be familiar with the aspects of the subject he is studying, and be prepared to face
all possibilities that may arise in the lesson.
There are four questions that the teacher must ask himself before starting to
prepare the lesson:
1- What do I teach?
2- Why do I teach?
3- How do I teach?
Activity
Think about the possible answer to each of the previous four questions:
As is clear, the first and second points answer the first question: What do we teach?
The third point answers our question: Why do we teach? While the fourth point
answers the question: How do we know? As for the fifth and final point, it answers
our question: Did learning happen?
In the following pages, we discuss each of the previous points in some detail.
First: Analysis of the lesson content:
The concept of content analysis:
It is intended to extract the learning aspects included in a lesson and includes
cognitive aspects, such as concepts, facts, information, laws, and generalizations,
and emotional aspects, such as: values and attitudes, and psychomotor aspects,
which are: skills that can be acquired by learners (academic-social).
Hence, we find the process of content analysis reveals the aspects of learning
included in the lesson, helps formulate behavioral objectives clearly, and also
reveals the ambiguity that reveals goal setting: it shows us how to formulate the
goal in the correct field, as there is a common error in formulating objectives, It is
to formulate them all in one field, which is the cognitive field.
Content analysis is a method that aims to describe the content objectively and
systematically, which leads to identifying the basic elements of learning. The
learning content contains three main aspects, each of which contains sub-sections,
as laid out in the following layout:
Learning content
During preparing the lesson, it should include a brief analysis of the learning
content in the lesson. Of course, all of these aspects and sections may not be
present in every lesson, but the lesson may contain some of them and not contain
others. Such an element of brevity should be emphasized in referring to the
content.
:
Example: Content analysis of a mathematics lesson:
Concepts:
Generalizations:
o The area of a square is equal to the length of the side times itself

.................................................. ..................................................
Second: Identifying the previous experiences from curriculum
topics that are necessary for the new lesson.
Each topic of the educational content taught to students has its own nature, which
is that it is a cumulative topic that includes an ordered and connected series of
knowledge (facts, concepts, generalizations...) and each part in the series
necessarily requires students’ familiarity with the previous parts.
Therefore, through introducing any new educational topic, the teacher must
specify the previous experiences and learning experiences that are considered prior
learning requirements for the new learning.
Example: Identifying prior learning requirements for a science lesson.
Concepts:
- Learning requirements and previous experiences: plants, animals, taste, movement, rotation,
and the surface of the earth.
Examples: vegetables, humans, the cavity of an empty bottle, the movement of the wind, the
weight of the air inside the ball.
Atmospheric air
Weight Movement
200 km
Practical activity:
Choose one of the lessons in your field of specialization from one of the primary
school classes, and specify the previous learning requirements for this topic:

The word goal generally refers to the goal or intention that we seek to reach. As for
the educational goal, it can be defined as “the expressions that describe the
expected outcomes or outcomes in all dimensions of the human personality of any
educational system, whether these outcomes are for the formal or non-formal
education system in society.” What, or the formal education system or the teaching
system.
Objectives are defined as a statement or statements that describe the behavior or
performance expected to be performed as a result of going through an educational
experience or educational situation under certain conditions and in a visible
manner that can be observed and measured to a certain degree.
Objectives can also be defined as: stating the type of change we aim to achieve in
the learner’s behavior in its emotional, cognitive and motor aspects.
Definition of educational objective:
The goal is the result, the goal or intention that the student wants to achieve after
going through an educational situation.
The goal is a description of the learning outcome in the form of behavior or
performance expected of the student as a result of his exposure to an educational
experience.
Levels of educational objectives:
The proposed formula for levels of educational objectives consists of three
major levels:
The first level:
Aims of Education: They represent the major educational goals of the education
system as a whole, both its formal and non-formal types, in a given society.
The second level: Educational Goals
They represent the general goals of any formal education system, whether it is the
education system in society as a whole, or the education system at an academic
level or for specific curricula.
The third level: Instructional Objectives
They represent the goals of the teaching system, whether for a course, a unit of
study, or a single lesson.
Teaching objectives can be defined as:
Statements that explain the types of learning outcomes in student behavior that
are expected to occur from the teaching system.
If these outcomes are formulated in a procedural manner, that is, in the form of
behavior or performance that can be observed and measured, then the objectives
are called behavioral objectives or performance objectives.
activity:
• From the point of view, is defining educational objectives/learning
outcomes important? And why?

The importance of setting goals:
Setting goals benefits both the teacher and the learner.
1- It helps the teacher choose teaching methods that can be considered a direct
means to achieving goals.
2- It helps the teacher choose teaching methods and activities because they are an
important and necessary means of positive learning.
3- It helps in choosing evaluation methods and means that seek to measure the
extent to which goals are achieved. The teacher chooses, according to the goals,
whether the evaluation is individual or group, written or oral, theoretical or
practical.
Many studies have proven that learners’ knowledge of the lesson objectives
increases the level of achievement and leads to attention, concentration, and
directing energy towards realizing the objectives set by the teacher at the
beginning of teaching. For example, the teacher says, In today’s lesson we will learn
together about cases in which two lines are parallel, and I hope you will pay
attention that we will focus To know these cases, when lines are not parallel, and
how to use that in solving some exercises.

Conditions (specifications) for formulating objectives:
1- It must be clearly defined, without ambiguity, and there should be no
disagreement over its interpretation.
3- It takes into account the human and financial capabilities of the teachers and
the school.
• Discuss these statements with your colleague: Explaining whether they are true
or false:
1- “Educational goals should focus only on the mental aspect of the student.”

Classification of educational objectives:
Bloom's classification of educational objectives:
The classification (Bloom 1956 and Krathwohl 1964) is considered one of the most
famous classifications in the field of identifying and defining educational objectives.
The classification consists of a group of sections that contain all the possible
learning outcomes that we expect learning to produce. The interpretation is based
on a basic assumption, which is that learning outcomes can be described in the
form of specific changes in students’ behavior, and this division is useful in
formulating behavioral educational objectives. Bloom's division of educational
objectives consists of three components:
-Evaluation
-Synthesis
-Analysis
-Application
-Understanding
-Memory
What should be noted is that this classification, the cognitive objectives, is arranged
hierarchically from easy to difficult, or from simple to complex, such that the lowest
level is the easiest and simplest level, and achieving it is the key to success at the
level directly above them. In other words, an individual's success and mastery at a
certain level of the hierarchy means his success and mastery at all levels below that
level.
1-Level of recollection:
He mentions, repeats, knows, records, names, memorizes, lists, describes, recites,
says.
2- Level of understanding:
Discusses, explains, adds, expresses, paraphrases, classifies.
3- Application level:
Translate into scientific reality, explain, draw a diagram, explain, use, practice,
apply, solve, tabulate, illustrate by application, show, calculate, explain,
experiment, modify, use.
4- Level of analysis:
Distinguish, compare, contrast, analyze, test, differentiate, illustrate, raise a
question, and connect.
5- Installation level:
Assemble, construct, invent, propose, collect, design, prepare, plan, organize,
compose, demonstrate, derive.
6- Evaluation level:
He judges, chooses, evaluates, corrects, reviews, grades, measures, and estimates.
Second: Affective goals:
It includes goals that express the emotional or emotional aspects that relate to the
individual's degree of acceptance or rejection of something. These goals also relate
to expressing feelings of love, appreciation, inclinations, and aesthetic taste. Under
this type of behavior, we find five levels, in terms of their levels of complexity or
difficulty, in the following ascending order:
-Satisfaction or acceptance
-Response
-Evaluation
-Value arrangement
-Value assignment (representation)
Examples of behavioral actions in the emotional domain:
1- Level of acceptance:
He allows to me, is aware, cares, accepts, listens.
2- Response level:
He gets excited, responds to me, desires, obeys, tends, responds.
3- Evaluation level:
He follows up, listens to advice, takes the initiative, performs his work accurately,
persuades, expresses his opinion, addresses, prefers, commits, and confesses.
4- The level of value organization:
Resolves differences, changes opinions, changes position, intends, defines
relationships and values, organizes values, maintains, links moral standards,
balances, tends to, shapes.
5- Level of value allocation:
He is imbued with principles, imbued with a certain philosophy, imbued with a
certain model, believes, trusts, develops, and develops.
It includes goals that express manual skills, motor skills, the ability to handle and
use tools and devices, and the ability to perform a specific performance that
requires psychomotor and neurological coordination.
He throws, knocks, tastes, wears, writes, swims, plays, runs, prays, plays on me,
cooks, sprinkles, pushes, rises, whispers, devours, paints, mixes, squeezes, stabs,
handles, weighs, spreads, stirs, mixes. , reads.

Chapter Two: The skill of warm-up for the new
lesson
Types of warm-up.
Learning outcomes:
Discussion Questions:
Lead the participants in the following discussion by asking the following set of
questions:
- Do you support the teacher using activities like these at the beginning of
presenting the lesson?
- Do you have previous experiences in which you did an interesting activity at the
beginning of the lesson?
Preparing students mentally, emotionally, and physically to learn the new lesson is
one of the most important things that the teacher should pay attention to before
going into the details of the lesson.
Activity:

.................................................. .................................................. ............
• Motivational warm-up for the lesson means the group of practices that the
teacher performs with the intention of preparing the students for the new lesson,
so that they are in a mental, emotional, and physical state that allows them to
receive the lesson and respond to the teacher. This warming up also aims to
attract the students’ attention and their enthusiasm for the lesson, so that it

.................................................. ..................................................
.................................................. ..................................................
• The teacher succeeds in preparing for the lesson when he takes into account the
answer to three questions:
Successful Warm-up
1-Why warm-up
• Preparation for the new lesson is being carried out for the following reasons:
• Provide clear meaning of the new concepts that students will learn.

.................................................. ..................................................
...................
Second: When is the warm-up done?
• Many teachers believe that warm-up is limited only to the beginning of the
lesson. This perception is incorrect
• This is because the lesson usually includes several diverse activities, each of
which needs appropriate warm-up in order to achieve its purpose.
Types of warm-up
Example (1):
Example (2):
Activity:
Design an activity (it could be a picture or a game) that you can use as an
orientation warm-up with your students at the beginning of the new lesson.
Use the happiness ball at the beginning of the class until the end of the class...
The teacher throws the ball to one of the students in the class to ask him a
question, participate in an activity, or give a comment.
Happiness Ball: One of its advantages is that you can throw it to anyone if you
do not want to answer.
After I finish, I return the ball to the teacher or to any colleague, and so on until
the end of the class...then the ball is returned to the teacher.
Note: The ball is moved during the class by only 3 to 4 students, more or less
depending on the time of the class.
Activity:
- Give one of the participants a “happiness ball” and ask him to answer a specific
question related to the topic of the lesson, such as: “What happens if rain falls in
Juba this year?”
- Ask this participant, after answering the question... to pass the ball to a
colleague... and he asks him a question related to the topic of the lesson.
- Ask the participants: What are the uses/applications that the happiness ball can
be used for in the classroom?

Example:
1- ...............
2- ...............
3- ...............
4- ...............
5- ................
6- ................
7- .................
Conditions of good motivational warm-up:
• Providing an educational classroom environment suitable for learning
(ventilation, lighting, cleanliness, ...)
Example:
• If the topic of the new lesson is (rain), the teacher begins the lesson by linking
it to the previous lesson (temperature), and displays some pictures showing
the rising temperatures.
• He says, for example: Who reminds me of our previous lesson and shows
pictures of rain or a movie clip and says in this lesson we will highlight the
degree of connection between them and then elicits the answer from the
students.
(2) Warm-up by carrying out a quick diagnostic and treatment process based on
previous experiences in the form of a set of questions or dialogue and discussion.
The purpose of this is to determine the level of students in the class, and to ensure
that each student has the necessary amount of information to follow the new
lesson.
like:
• Direct questions asked by the teacher to his students for the purpose of
identifying and recalling previously learned information necessary for the new
lesson.
• Question or exercise: The teacher presents it to his students, and by reviewing
their answers and various solutions, he can ensure the existence of this
information.
• Dialogue or discussion: between the teacher and the students who possess this
information for the purpose of reminding his students of it and preparing them for
the new lesson.
(3) Warm-up for lesson by clarifying its objectives:
For example, the teacher lists and clarifies the objectives of his lesson to his
students, at the beginning of the class. This technique means an advanced system
for the student’s activity and sharing of the lesson’s experiences. This technique is
based on an important hypothesis which is that defining the objective (objectives
of the lesson) and making it clear to the student may lead to bridging the gap in
Students’ cognitive construction between the desired outcome (objective level)
and the students’ previous information (prior levels), which leads to generating a
type of internal motivation for each student to bridge that gap and acquire the
objective.
Activity:
Think with me: How can this image be used to warm-up for a new lesson?
(6) Brainstorming
The student is asked to present the largest number of ideas about the given
situation, whether this situation is a visual image, a written passage, or a role play
situation. . And so on
Example:
Create a story from your imagination... suitable as a warm-up for presenting one of
the topics of your specialization.
Activity:
Choose an event or news related to South Sudan, whether (sport event, economic
event, environmental...), and link it to one of the sport in your field of
specialization... and use it as an input in presenting the lesson.
Share with your colleagues in the rest of the group what you have come up
with.

(9) Asking stimulating questions:
If the lesson topic is (climate change)
The teacher can begin the lesson by asking a question such as: What would
happen if the temperature in Juba became 30 degrees below zero?
He begins to receive answers from the students and records each of them as they
go on the far left side of the board, and does not interfere in judging their accuracy.
He should encourage the students to add more answers, and after the students
finish the answers, he just says that the correct answer to this question will be
known from studying our study of today’s lesson, then he writes the title of the
lesson on the board and begins teaching the elements of the lesson.
(10) Students practice of investigative or exploratory activities:
If the topic of the lesson is about (the water cycle), the teacher begins with an
activity in which a dotted and colored piece of paper is distributed, and between
the colors and dots a group of letters is written. The student begins to discover the
letters and form the names of the stages. This activity represents an introduction
to teaching them the lesson.
Activity:
The science teacher and his colleagues in the rest of the group, implements
these activities
Activity (1): Do you know the scientist who ran naked in the streets?
• Where he explains to them how the secret of the forged crown was
discovered, and then the scientific base that was linked to the name of this
scientist who went out running naked in the middle of the streets of his
city, and what had occurred to him made him forget, that he was still
naked.

Activity (2): How is sound transmitted?
• In one of the lessons, the teacher brought a large beaker, put an appropriate
amount of water in it, and closed it with a tight cork with two holes, one of which
led through a wooden leg carrying a small bell at its end, and a glass tube that
ended with a rubber tube with a clamp on it.
• The teacher shook the beaker and the students heard the bell ring clearly.
Then he heated the beaker to the point where the water boiled and its vapor
expelled the air in it. Then the teacher closed the opening of the rubber tube by
tightening the clamp on it. After that, he left the flask to cool, and the vapor
condensed and an almost cavity occurred inside it. At this point, the teacher
shook the flask, and the students saw the movement of the bell, but they did
not hear it ring. The teacher opened the tube to let air in, then shook the beaker
again, and the students heard the bell ring clearly. This presentation was an
exciting introduction to a lesson on Transmission of Sound.
• When teaching a lesson on “The cycle of air in nature,” the teacher can raise
with his students the anecdote “When it rains fish.”
•
Activity (3): Does iron float on the surface of water? •
In one of the lessons, the teacher asked his students whether it was •
possible for iron and steel to float on the surface of the water, and
the students answered that this was possible if the object was
.hollow

Learning outcomes
By the end of this chapter, the teacher/student will be able to:
• When Chinese President Mau Tey Tong visited a school in Beijing, the capital,
the lesson was about growing an important crop. The Chinese leader noticed the
students’ many questions, and he also noticed the teacher’s confusion in
answering.
• Mau asked that the teacher to accompany his students to the fields.
• On the way, the president said to the teacher: Take your students to natural
sites so they will stop asking questions, and also take them to museums so the
information will stick to their minds more.

Teaching is the applied aspect of the educational and pedagogical process, and
includes teaching strategies and methods that represent tools and procedures that
address how learners become familiar with the school curriculum and its
educational content in order to deliver it to the learners. The teaching process
refers to all the conditions and capabilities that the teacher provides to his students
during the lessons, and it also refers to the actions he takes in order to help his
students achieve the goals set for the lesson.
Instruction, learning and teaching:
The term Instruction / Didactic refers to the science of teaching and learning,
and is of Greek origin meaning “teachability”. As the etymology of the word shows,
this term basically includes all the basic components that are part of teaching and
learning in modern education, and these components are:
o Teaching activity
o Learning.
An intentional or unintended process that takes place inside or outside the school
may take place at any time and may be carried out by a teacher or not. It contains
multiple methods; including concrete and moral ones. It varies according to the
mental and physical capabilities of the individual and aims to refine skills in a
specific field to gain experience, knowledge and perhaps creativity. .
This means that learning cannot be observed directly, but rather we infer it by
observing some changes that occur in the individual’s behavior. Learning can be
likened to electrical energy, which we do not directly observe, but rather we
observe its effect on lighting, operating devices, etc.
The learner must have an intended goal that he seeks to achieve by himself, not
imposed on him. In addition, the changes that occur in behavior must be due to
training or experience, and this means that a change that occurs as a result of
something other than experience or training is not considered learning, such as
Changes in the behavior of individuals resulting from fatigue, illness, alcohol, or
drugs.
It can be said that all organic beings, including humans, are in a constant state
of learning from cradle to grave, and humans do not learn from school alone, but
from the environment as well.
Teaching concept
The concept of teaching varies according to the educational objectives and the
differences in teaching. There is the traditional method in the educational process,
which sees that teaching is based on indoctrinating the student with knowledge
and information, and thus the student’s position is negative (in the future only). As
for the modern trend, it sees teaching as a process of guidance, not indoctrination,.
The role of the teacher is an instructor , guide, and he preparers for the teaching
conditions and environment, but the concept of teaching can be defined as:
An intentional and planned process carried out by the teacher inside or outside
the school under its supervision. The teacher follows a set of procedures that he
plans to use in implementing the teaching of a specific subject to achieve the
desired educational goals in light of the available capabilities.
There is no doubt that successful teaching comes from a teacher who transforms
his lesson into interaction and harmony and has the full ability to accommodate
the learners, in terms of their desires, inclinations and attitudes.
The concept of teaching strategy
Teaching strategy can be defined as a set of steps taken by the teacher in an
educational situation that helps students learn and achieve pre-determined
teaching goals. These steps differ from one method to another, from one specialty
to another, and from one teacher to another.
The teaching strategy is concerned with the student is achievement of a specific
goal, and it also protects the student from any negative outcomes such as neglect,
lack of confidence, failure, or loss of self-confidence.
Teaching strategy is also defined as: “the procedures that the teacher follows
to help his students achieve educational goals. The procedures may be discussions,
asking questions, raising a problem, trying to discover, or other procedures.”
The teaching strategy is one of the most important elements of the curriculum in
achieving its goals. There was a traditional view of the teaching method as teaching
lessons by the teacher to the learners. Whereas the teaching methods that were
prevalent in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries represented a process of
giving or lecturing presented by the teacher, and the students had to listen and
listen to it using speech and the blackboard. The teacher represents the positive
element in the instruction process, while the student does not contribute positively
to the process of instruction and learning.
By the progress and development in the field of education, psychology, and other
fields, educational studies have concluded that there is no optimal method suitable
for teaching all subjects and all students at various levels of education. Therefore,
the effort expended in modern teaching methods has shifted from the teacher to
the learner and his activity in the learning process.
Active Learning
Active learning is an educational philosophy that aims to activate the role of the
learner and make him - that is, the learner - pivotal in the educational learning
process. It seeks to move the learner from the state of a passive recipient (as is the
case in the lecture method) to be a positive and effective learner in the educational
situations (as is the case in Active learning strategies) by primarily targeting higher-
order thinking skills, such as analysis, synthesis, and evaluation, based on different
educational situations and activities that require research, experimentation, work,
and self- or collective learning as well... to acquire skills, obtain information, and
form attitudes and values.
Activity (1):
Learning based on the belief that the student’s learning should be active, linked
to the student’s experience, and should be as similar to life as possible.
It is to keep students busy doing something in addition to listening to the teacher
and taking notes to help them to apply the academic material. Students may
participate in speaking and listening to others, or writing, reading, and their
individual reflections.
A teaching method that engages learners in doing things that force them to think
about what they are learning.
A comprehensive term for a group of teaching methods and strategies that focus
on placing responsibility for learning on the learner.
A teaching method that allows learners to learn for themselves through practice.
It is learning based on the various activities practiced by the learner, which result
in behaviors that depend on the learner’s active and positive participation in the
educational situation.
Trainee/Teacher:

Activity (2):
Classify the teaching practices below as examples of active learning by placing (√)
or (x) next to the non-indicative examples. Be prepared to discuss the answers
with the trainer.
1) A teacher explains and works hard for the student to memorize and apply.
2) The teacher answers the students’ questions and asks them to record them in
their notebooks.
8) A teacher follows one teaching method that is familiar to all students and
avoids deviating from it.
Active learning also focuses on the learner as he is the focus of the educational
process, and therefore relies on many principles, including:
• Helping the student understand himself and discover his strengths and
weaknesses.
The learner in active learning is positive and involved in the educational process:
Study the following table explaining the role of both the teacher and the
learner in active learning:
Statements:
- The learner prefers to memorize a large part of what he learns.
- The learner integrates the new information into his mind, which gives him self-
confidence.
- It is difficult for the learner to remember things unless they are mentioned in the
order they appear in the book.
- The learner is usually keen to understand the overall meaning of the topic and
does not get lost in the details.
- The learner prefers theoretical topics that require deep thinking.
- The learner allocates sufficient time to think about the importance of what he is
learning.
- The learner confuses conclusions with arguments and examples with definitions.
- The learner links each new topic he studies to previous related topics.
- The learner often believes that what he learns is exclusive to the teacher and
unrelated to life-application.
- The learner tries to connect new ideas with life situations.

active learning
Which activities do you agree with and which do you disagree with?

• The student does not receive ready-made knowledge negatively, but rather
does his best to ensure that his role in receiving it is positive.
• The student builds a cognitive structure for himself and organizes it self-
organizing, while finding links between them.
• The student’s new experiences and knowledge that he has acquired are
integrated with his previous knowledge and integrated with each other.
• The student cooperates with his colleagues in a group form in which he bears a
degree of responsibility for completing the tasks assigned to the group.
• Every individual helps and presents his suggestions to the group, and has the
right to ask his colleagues for help and assistance, and extends his hand to help
others, and does not finish his task until everyone has finished.
First: The student is the focus of the instructional process, and his interaction
during the educational process makes him able to go through direct educational
experiences, make him discover a lot of scientific and life information and
knowledge, and acquire multiple skills that lead to the development of his higher
thinking skills.
They also have an effective role in modifying students’ behavior, thoughts, and
goals, and developing moderate behaviors until they reach a high degree of
performance.
Third: The teacher is directed to knowledge and is not its only source:
he helps the students to obtain the required knowledge and information on his
own, in addition to helping him perform the activity himself and deduce the facts.
The role of the teacher also becomes clear in stimulating the educational process
and encouraging performance, follow-up and constructive observation, and
comprehensive assessment of the students. And help them assess themselves and
their colleagues.
Activity:

week.
10_ The fear of students refusal of participation, and other criticizing others for
breaking the norm in education.
It also requires that the teacher himself believe in active learning strategies
The teacher must carefully plan lessons that enable him to use effective active
learning methods.
Since he has full knowledge of active learning strategies and proper planning, he
will be more able to choose activities appropriate to the nature of the subject he is
studying.

Its concept:
It is one of the active learning strategies based on the idea of giving the student
time to think on his own after the teacher asks the question, then he thinks about
the same question with one of his colleagues before asking all members of the
group of four students to think, and thus it includes the participation of the largest
number of students in the class. .
This strategy includes the following activities:
Asking a question: Students confront an event or situation and ask questions about
it
Individual thinking: The teacher gives students a little time to think about the
answer
Pairing: As the teacher assigns each student to discuss his answer with his
colleague, they reach a specific, agreed-upon answer.
Student participation: their answers with all the students in the class.
1- Think
In this step, the teacher stimulates the learners’ thinking by asking a question
related to the lesson, and asks them to think about the question directed
individually. The teacher must take into account that the directed question is
stimulating to the learners’ thinking, has a high cognitive level as much as possible,
and is appropriate for their level. To ensure the success of this step, the teacher
must allocate the learners the necessary time to think based on his knowledge of
their level, their individual abilities, the nature of the question he asked, and its
degree of complexity.
2- Pair
The teacher asks the learners to each choose a colleague, preferably the one who
sits next to him. In order to ensure order and calm in the hall; This is to form pairs
of learners, where the teacher assigns each learner to discuss his answer with his
colleague. In order to compare each other's ideas, and exchange those ideas
between them. In this step, the learners and the pairs may reach an agreement
(one opinion), or they may not agree.
3- Share
In this step, the teacher asks each pair of learners in turn to present the solutions
and ideas they have arrived at regarding the question directed to them in front of
the class. Each pair receives questions and inquiries from the students in the class,
and tries to answer them, and provide evidence and proof of the validity of the
answers they have arrived at. Discussions continue until the largest number of pairs
have the opportunity to present what they have reached according to the time
specified for this stage by the teacher. The teacher can record the answers on the
blackboard or display screens.
In order to reduce time and effort, when the teacher notices the repetition of the
same answers in more than one pair, he must intervene immediately and ask: How
many pairs have reached the same result? Are there couples who have different
answers, or arrived at the answer in a different way? It gives them the opportunity
to present their answers and their related justifications.
Activity:
Choose one of the lessons in your field of specialization, and design an activity
using the strategy (Think - Pair - Share).

Activity:
Design an activity on one of the topics in your field of specialization according to
the steps of the K.W.L strategy
Thinking Maps are visual learning tools, the foundations of which are derived from
the theory of brain-based learning and Ausabel theory of meaningful learning. The
English psychologist Tony Buzan is considered one of the first to use cognitive maps
and called them Mind Maps. They are used as diagrams. To represent words, ideas,
and tasks, as well as to generate ideas and solutions, organize, solve problems, and
make decisions.
The concept of thinking maps strategy:
Thinking maps represent a visual language necessary for students to learn to think
about building, arranging, organizing, and developing their ideas in their cognitive
structure. It is therefore a language for thinking, because in order for students to
prepare these maps, they use some mental processes and thinking skills, which
makes them more active during the learning process, and they are able to find...
Relationships between concepts, finding cause and effect, clarifying relationships
between whole and part, and many other mental skills
The scientist Hyerele designed eight forms of maps as visual tools based on the
foundations of the theories of brain-based learning and Osbel of meaning-based
learning, and they are used at all levels and academic subjects. They are based on
thinking skills, so that each form of maps is based on a basic intellectual skill, and is
integrated It includes thinking skills with content. It also helps teachers develop
their performance, plan their lessons, and present these lessons, as well as evaluate
learners’ performance and develop their thinking processes instead of traditional
written tests. Thinking maps can show the extent to which students understand the
organization of the cognitive content of the academic subject.
Thinking maps are eight visual learning tools, each of which is based on basic
thinking processes in the brain that focus on a cognitive skill basis, such as:
comparison, contrast, sequence, classification, cause and effect, description and
analogies. It is used in teaching as a strategy, as it is more than just organizational
forms, and is flexible, effective and encourages lifelong learning.
It is also known as: tools that represent a common visual language between the
teacher and the learner, that enhance learning, encourage self- and independent
learning, and are used at all educational levels. They are based on developing
mental representations of the learned concepts, linking the previous ones with the
later ones to form and build new knowledge.
It is also known as: visual thinking tools consisting of shapes, each of which is linked
to one or more patterns of thinking, and they help students organize information
and concepts, find relationships and links between them simply by looking, and
highlight their ideas and thinking through them. It is based on a deep understanding
of the material learned.
Visual tools consisting of eight organizations of line drawings that display scientific
content and reflect levels of thinking, and include maps of “circle - bubbles -
double bubbles - tree - flow - multiple flow - arch”, which represent a common
visual language used by both the teacher and the student in teaching and learning
topics. Content.

2- The step of presenting the new knowledge: During this, the formative
evaluation is applied.
Thinking maps can be presented during the three stages, so that their presentation
is not limited to a specific stage. It may be presented in two or three stages. Each
student is also given a thinking map and is asked to implement it at home. This
ensures flexibility in dealing with thinking maps and being able to design them.
- Attract students’ attention and arousing their interest in the lesson topic.
- Build new ideas to grow and develop the learning process, and interact with the
content.
- Extract the internal thoughts that are processing through the learner’s mind.
- make teachers to assess their students’ thinking using the maps they draw
themselves.
Activity (1):
Lesson title : Apply the thinking mapping strategy to one of the “mathematics”
topics.
Objective of the activity : median of triangle
Behavioral objectives:

- The teacher asks one of the students what type of triangle is in the form (1)?
The teacher asks about shapes (4) and shapes (5). None of the students can know
more than that this represents a right-angled triangle.
- The teacher mentions that a right-angled triangle with one of its acute angles
measuring 30 ∘ is called a 30-sixty triangle. This is represented by Figure (4).

Equilateral triangle: It is a triangle whose sides are equal in length and whose
angles are equal in measure, and the measure of each angle = 60 ∘.
Isosceles triangle: It is a triangle with two sides of equal length and two angles of
equal measure.
The 30-sixty triangle: It is a right-angled triangle and the measure of one of its two
acute angles is equal to 30∘, so the other angle is equal to 60∘.
The teacher conducts a dialogue with the students about the concepts and
relationships that have been presented so far, then draws the following thinking

Piaget pointed out that students have an innate curiosity to understand the world
around them, and this curiosity and curiosity arouse their motivation to actively
build their actual mental views about the environment in which they use their
experiences. At all stages of development, the need for students to understand
their environment arouses their motivation to investigate and build their ideas that
explain this. environment, and then the student should be exposed to situations in
which he does things himself; To see what happens as a result of experimentation,
he manipulates materials and tools manually, asks questions, searches for tools
himself, and compares his results with those of others.
Research and teachers’ experiences have proven that active learning strategies,
such as problem-based learning, can motivate bored students and raise their level
of understanding and achievement. These student-centered methods also build
students’ critical thinking and deduction skills, and enhance their creativity and
independence.
Problem-based learning focuses on the learning content; In which students
participate in solving collaborative problems; In order to learn beyond their
capabilities with a deep understanding of the educational material and develop
higher-order thinking skills.
What is problem-based learning:
Problem-based learning is: an educational method that teaches by presenting
students with a situation that leads them to a problem that they must solve. It is
not just a way to make students find the correct answer, but rather it is a method
that requires thinking about asking questions, collecting information, generating
potential solutions, and then Evaluate alternatives to find the best solution.
A student-centered learning method, based on the principle of encouraging
students to discover and cooperate.
A method of learning that consists of presenting students with meaningful and
authentic problem situations that can serve as a starting point for research and
investigation.
An educational approach that challenges students to provide solutions to real-
world or open-ended problems on their own or in groups.
Think with your colleague: What are the characteristics that must be in the
problem presented to the students?

There are a group of things that must be taken into consideration when
formulating a problem-based learning problem, which are:
Simplicity: The problem cannot address everything, or give students unlimited
freedom to research anything they like.
- Clarity: Teachers here must be clear about what they hope to achieve, and they
must define specific and clear goals that they hope to achieve from the problem
at hand.
- It should be easy for every learner to understand at the beginning of the lesson.
- Comments, whether positive or negative, are not allowed; Because both of them
are against the rules of freedom of opinion; Who needs a chance of time before
he collides with other opinions.
- Gather as many ideas and opinions as possible in each group about the learning
task or problem.
The group secretary presents the opinions and ideas he recorded to the rest of his
colleagues in the group.
- It is welcomed for any student to present similar ideas; When one student
presents ideas or reinforces the opinion of another student.
- Encourages free expression, recording all ideas; Even out of context or poor.
After the recorder in each group finishes recording the opinions and ideas of
his colleagues, each group, according to the opinions and ideas it presented,
forms a table (Knowledge, Needs, Doing), which represents (information, learning
needs, action plan).
- Analyzing something into its basic elements; Which involves dividing the
problem into small problems.
- Using analogy by recalling similar previous problems and applying the same
techniques to them.
In this step, he must ensure that all the topics required to be learned have
not been overlooked, and present some questions to the students to verify the
accuracy of the information.
1- The focus must be on the problem from the beginning of the learning process.
6- The problems that students are directed to are used as tools to acquire
relevant knowledge and problem-solving skills.
7- Problems are incompletely constructed, and this does not mean that there is
one solution.
12- The problems presented lead to developing students’ abilities to solve realistic
problems.
13- Learning always begins with a problem, and this problem is written by the
teacher or a team of teachers. It aims to direct students towards the academic
subject.
14- Learning is based on the student. The student here bears responsibility for his
learning.
3- The teacher must be willing to keep pace with modern teaching methods.
5- To accept students’ mistakes and direct them towards correcting their mistakes
themselves.
6- The teacher must have sufficient experience with the curriculum; To provide
students with timely feedback and remedial teaching.
7- Preparing records and work papers for students.
Activity:
This strategy also requires a special educational environment, and the most
important features of this environment are:
1) A thought-provoking environment.
2) A student-centered environment.

Teacher roles according to the problem-based learning
strategy:
The teacher’s roles in problem-based learning are atypical roles that
encourage students to access information using their previous experiences in
applied situations, and deep understanding in the field of guiding students towards
applying knowledge in various problem situations, which helps adapt to the
environment of this strategy, and thus necessitates the teacher provides them with
a wide range of teaching skills; Which not only provides students with knowledge,
but also with problem-solving procedures and their applications to other similar
problems.
Teachers in problem-based learning environments have more critical teaching
abilities than in traditional teacher-centered classrooms. Teachers here, after
presenting knowledge, must integrate their students into organizing the
information and use their knowledge in the application process.
The teacher - here - plays a different role in each stage of problem-based
learning, and these roles include the following:
1- Designer of the problem: The teacher identifies the information and topics;
Which can be formulated in the form of a good problem, and the teacher here
designs the curriculum and sets the problems in two ways:
2- Mentor: The teacher takes on the role of mentor or facilitator; It creates the
atmosphere, helps students relate to the problem, and facilitates obtaining
information and the outcome or performance of work.
4- Facilitator: Where the role of the teacher changes from just a lecturer to a
facilitator.
5- It provides the opportunity for students to participate in choosing learning
tasks.
7- A participating member in all groups through his guidance for each group.
10) Students act as professionals and confront problems with little guidance and a
little information. Here, students identify the best possible solutions to the
problem.
11) Expert or decision maker: Where the student works as an expert in some
areas while solving the problem, the student here proposes assumptions,
estimates the reliability of the information, and issues decisions regarding it.
12) Thinker, creator, and critic: He deals with problems as a creator, produces
original solutions to the problem and as a critic, analyzes the information, chooses
the appropriate solution strategy, processes the information, and evaluates it.

1- It works well with all students; students with different abilities can contribute
their talents in a cooperative manner to reach the solution.
3- It provides the opportunity for students to adopt theories on their own, solve
problems designed by the teacher, and present solutions in the classroom during
the lesson.
5- Students enjoy the learning process. Some students view learning through
problem-based learning as learning for fun and enjoyment.
6- The problem-based learning strategy helps train students to make more use of
libraries and other information sources that support independent learning.
12- This strategy is considered a modern strategy in the educational field, and it is
compatible with the nature of scientific subjects and social studies, because of the
principles, concepts, mathematical relationships, and problems this subject
contains.

Final Evaluation
)Final(
o Enable the teacher to know the learners’ qualifications and previous acquisition.
o Help him to determine the degree and pace of learning based on the
qualifications of the learners.
2-Formative Evaluation:
It is based on the principle of evaluating the educational process through
(during the teaching process) and generally aims to determine the extent of
students’ progress towards the desired educational goals or the extent of their
acquisition and understanding of a specific learning subject (subject or unit of
study) for the purpose of correcting the course of the teaching process to improve
the performance of the teacher and the learner.
This type is consistent with the stages of building learning, and its purpose is, for
the teacher and learner, to be aware of the distance that separates them from
achieving the goal, and then to reveal difficulties and obstacles in order to
address them. The function of this type of assessment is corrective, helping the
teacher to control and modify his strategies; Since it is formative, it must be free
from punishment or penalty.
The teacher can judge the program and the level of the students through his
observations, self-insight, and tests, as well as determine the extent of their
growth and progress, and thus his teaching methods can be modified, and the
appropriate activity and climate can be provided to achieve the goals he seeks,
aiming for ease of style and ease of expression.
Formative assessment tools include: the various oral questions asked by the
teacher during the lesson (or class), quizzes that do not take more than a few
minutes, classroom exercises, and observation cards for the procedural
performance of skills.
3-Summative Evaluation
The final assessment is concerned with assessing the educational process at the
end or after its completion, and thus aims to know the amount of educational
objectives that have been achieved, or to measure the educational outcomes that
occur during learning a unit of study or an entire subject.
The function of this type lies in getting the extent to which the desired
educational objectives have been achieved, determining the goals that have been
achieved, as well as monitoring the results of the learners to make appropriate
decisions such as promoting or granting a certificate.
The science teacher noticed the students' weakness in writing the laws of light
in mirrors, lenses, and triangular prisms.
Although it had been studied before, the teacher wanted to verify the
information the students had, so he conducted an assessment on the students
whose results concluded that they were unable to know the symbols and
definitions of the concepts.
A - Pre assessment.
B- Formative assessment.
C- Readiness assessment.
D- Summative assessment.
Activity:
The importance of assessment for the The importance of assessment for the
teacher student
Tasks and importance of the assessment:
Assessment has several functions that are derived from the types of decision or
decisions taken, and these tasks can be simplified as follows:
1- Guidance task:
This task is compatible with the initial evaluation.
It means: directing the student towards specific learning activities, and this type
of assessment is carried out at the beginning of the learning; To determine the
extent to which students have mastered previous acquisitions, this evaluation can
be based on a set situation related to the competencies that they have previously
acquired, or other testing tools that are used to achieve two basic goals:
o Estimate the risks that may hinder the normal following of the student.
2- Modification task:
It means: correcting the manifestations of deficiency or stumbling that prevent
the achievement of the desired competencies.
To achieve this task, assessment is carried out during various learning activities
(regular learning and integrated learning), and the usual methods in the field of
formative assessment are used for this purpose.
The goal of this process is to diagnose students’ errors and invest them in
developing a treatment plan. In this regard, the following stages can be followed
to achieve an effective diagnosis:
3- Endorsement task:
The certification task is a final assessment function.
Some tasks of the assessment process in general can be identified, whether for
the student, the teacher, or the surrounding environment, as follows:
It helps the teacher to identify the strengths and weaknesses of his learning,
improve his motivation to learn, increase the level of transmission of the learning
effect, and increase the students’ true selves, as well as providing feedback
related to the effectiveness of the teaching process.
It helps the teacher to judge the adequacy of the teaching strategies, methods,
and techniques that he practices, and to classify his students according to their
abilities, cognitive levels, tendencies, and readiness, and then make the
appropriate decisions towards improving the teaching process.
Obtaining the data and information necessary to develop the teaching system
adopted by the teacher in all its dimensions.
He has a role in developing the inputs of the educational process and the
efficiency of the programs used.
• Cognitive Domain.
• Psychomotor Domain.
• Affective Domain.
Bloom and his colleagues adopted the same classification in their classification
of the class questions that was adopted in dividing the behavioral objectives,
where the class questions were classified into six levels:
However, it is important for the teacher to always remember that there are
three factors that determine the level according to which a question is classified:
* Each student’s prior knowledge of the subject the teacher asks about
o For example: How many colors are in the flag of South Sudan?
o There are many examples at this level. Any question in which the teacher asks
the students to answer it in their own language includes understanding.
Or he gives him one idea and one relationship, and asks him to determine the
second side of this relationship. The relationships included in the question may be
a comparative relationship, a causal relationship, a numerical relationship, or
something else.
o Calculate the time required for the driver of a truck with a mass of 5000 kg and
a speed of 80 km/h to avoid colliding with a car parked 30 meters in front of him.
o - It helps the student to practice an activity that differs from the routine
activities he is accustomed to.
Why did the Israelis choose the land of Palestine to establish their state?
In all of these questions, students are required to identify or discover the causes
of certain facts or events using the process of analysis.
After reading this book, how do you reach the authors’ background, trends, and
point of view?
- Look at the diagram of this new invention. What do you think is the purpose of
this invention?
Perhaps it is clear from the examples that we have provided of analysis questions,
that there are several possible answers to the question, in addition to the fact
that the process of analysis and thinking takes time, and therefore it is not
possible to answer these questions quickly and without delay. There is no doubt
that these two characteristics make analysis questions at the level of Higher than
previous levels.
Among the words that are commonly used in analysis questions are:
Prove with evidence that the poles will change during the second half of the
twenty-first century.
Why didn’t the impact of the industrial revolution appear in the Arab world when
it appeared?
It requires original innovative thinking, and some teachers object to this level
because it is difficult for students and that it is above their mental level.
Composition questions are characterized by the fact that they allow students
great freedom to search for solutions to them.
Through answering the questions of the previous levels, students adhere to the
academic material and the mental processes mentioned in the question, explicitly
or implicitly, while these restrictions are at a minimum at the level of
composition.
o Read the following short story and choose an appropriate title for it?
Teachers can use structure questions to help their students develop their
innovative thinking.
o How can you improve - What do you expect if - suggest - give a title -
Evaluation questions do not have one correct answer, and they require the
student to judge a specific idea or solution to a problem or evaluate a work of art.
o For example, if the question is: Which rulers of the Ottoman Empire are more
competent?
o The answer to it may depend on personal criteria, or it may depend on objective
criteria. If you are a supporter of scientific and cultural progress and you choose a
ruler whose time is famous for them, then in both cases you have used personal
criteria, but if you choose the competent ruler on the basis of a set of indicators
that take in consideration.
o - Should young students be allowed to read any book they want to read,
regardless of the subject it covers?
o - Which of these approaches provides us with the best way to address this
problem?
Skill learning aspects include: goals that express manual skills, motor skills, the
ability to handle and use tools and devices, and the ability to perform a specific
performance that requires psychomotor and neurological coordination.
Some assessment tools and methods are suggested to evaluate aspects of skill
learning, including the following:
The teacher must observe and evaluate the student’s behavior in every learning
activity, especially those activities that include manual, performance, or motor
skills.
To achieve this, the teacher can use a special note card for the student, and set
estimates or marks for her according to the skills to be measured and evaluated.
The teacher can also provide the students with a list of the skills to be
evaluated, and ask them to evaluate themselves (self-evaluation), according to
the approved behavioral procedures and standards.
This type of evaluation requires the teacher to observe his students while they
are practicing various activities.
In order for the observation to be effective, the teacher must follow the
following:
The observation method has many benefits, the most important of which are:
o It is also characterized by the fact that it does not frighten students like various
exams or tests
The teacher can evaluate the extent to which students have acquired the skill by
using practical tests.
In other science lessons, you can find students measuring lengths, recording
temperatures, determining mass and weight, estimating density, etc.
It tests the student's manual skills and his ability to manipulate and control
laboratory materials, tools and devices. It also tests the student's observational
abilities, scientific processes and other skills, problem-solving skills, and
laboratory practical skills and steps, such as: measurement, preparing a sample or
samples under a microscope, reading a thermometer, cutting glass, examining a
drop of water taken from a swamp, and dissection operations... etc.
C - Problem-Solving Tests:
In which students are asked, for example, to design a scientific device or a set of
tools and devices, and laboratory experimental methods to investigate some
chemical reactions,
Question (1): There is a red liquid in front of you on the table. Using the materials,
tools and laboratory devices in front of you, try to find the color of this liquid with
different concentrations of (PH). Write down the laboratory steps and procedures
and the results you obtain.
Question (2): Mix 25 ml of yeast suspension with an equal amount of red liquid,
and observe what happens for five minutes. Record your observations.
Question (4): Do the results support the explanation you presented or proposed?
If the answer is no, provide another scientific explanation.
Question (5): Do you believe that the yeast that you worked with in the
laboratory is alive? Give reasons. Design an experiment to test your answer. Carry
out the experiment, record the results, and interpret them.
D- Oral presentations:
Through oral presentations, the student’s abilities are measured orally, that the
student may face shortcomings or that written tests are unable to measure.
Such as: skill aspects such as depth and logic of thinking, advocacy and
persuasion of certain ideas, explanation and interpretation, arousing enthusiasm,
understanding between the lines and beyond the lines, and negotiation and
discussion.
o It helps the teacher distinguish between students who are close in level.
The attitude toward learning the subject consists of the student’s attitudes
toward: the teacher, the subject itself, its value, the method of teaching it, the
extent of his enjoyment in learning it, and the extent to which he feels its
usefulness.
Hence, one of the main goals of teaching any scientific subject, especially in the
first stage of primary education, is to encourage children to study this subject and
explain its beauty, importance, and role in forming habits of accuracy, sound
thinking, love of curiosity, exploration, discovery, and creativity at times.
If a child hates arithmetic, for example: then the largest part of the educational
process will have been lost.
The following are some tools and methods that a primary school teacher can
use to evaluate learning outcomes in the emotional field of teaching:
In which the student is asked to choose the answer that describes his feelings or
inclinations, noting that the answers differ in degree of agreement, for example:
A- Attitude: I think science lessons are boring (Agree, Disagree).
By applying this scale, the individual is asked to place a sign such as the / sign in
the distance that expresses his position or direction regarding a topic, for each pair
of attributes, and it is necessary to indicate the topic of direction at the beginning
of the scale.
For example, if the student believes that health education is very useful, a mark
is placed in the space closest to this adjective, and a mark next to the opposite
adjective indicates negative behavior. The middle distance expresses neutral
feelings. The remaining spaces are used to indicate various degrees of positive or
negative feelings regarding the topic (health education, for example) towards
which the attitude is to be measured.
Health education
Useful --- --- --- --- --- --- --- not useful
Likert scales are relatively easy to design, apply, and correct. In addition, it is
relatively comprehensive and accurate, and therefore more stable.
When constructing Likert scales, it is preferable for the scale to include positive
and negative items related to the topic to be measured.
The student is usually asked to mark the degree of gradation of the scale, which
can be graded gradually: three, four, or five (the most common)... etc., such as:
strongly agree (5 degrees), agree (4 degrees), not sure, or neutral ( 3 marks),
disagree (2 marks), and strongly disagree (1 mark).
For the purposes of correction, the student’s grades on the scale items are
calculated by the sum of the grades he obtains on all the positive and negative
items of the scale, noting that the grades are reversed for the negative items that
measure negative attitudes or tendencies.
