Due to the huge development in the communication sector, science education has become very challenging. Inquiry-based science education (IBSE) has been proposed by academic leaders and policymakers as having the potential to increase student involvement and provide opportunities for the development of the key skills desired by employers in the future. Thirty teachers from 15 schools participated in the project and disseminated the knowledge obtained to their colleagues through peer-to-peer knowledge sharing. Most teachers expressed an increase in their understanding of IBSE, and 66% agreed that they received high-quality IBSE/EUPRB briefings. Students showed motivation to learn science and obtained scientific approaches and steps of answering their inquiries in order understand their surroundings, improve their achievement of scientific knowledge, build positive science attitudes, improve their understanding of the nature of science, and develop IBSE skills such as scientific data collection analyses, interpretation, and how to provide evidence to test ideas and develop theories.
This study aims to measure the educational gap at the Jordanian Badia. It aims also to explore the illiteracy reasons, student enrolment and population attitudes towards the school effort at the southern Jordanian Badia and illiteracy reasons compared with educational gap in Jordan. To achieve these goals, 1250 persons have been randomly chosen by a valid and tested questionnaire. Descriptive and analytical statistic was used to measure the factors influencing the educational gap, illiteracy and the enrolment.The results revealed that there was no statistical difference between the illiteracy and the enrolment level due to the distance between the students house and the school which was found nearly 717 meter. The population attitudes of the southern Badia towards the school performance were not identified. The illiteracy level was estimated 19% for men and 29% for women. Although illiteracy level at the Jordanian badia is decreasing, the southern Badia still below the total level (49%), especially for females ( 53%) while for males 39%. The illiteracy level concentrated between the age of 40-44. Sixty two % of the illiterate persons believe that the main reason was due to work to help the family, while 80 % of females refer that due to get married.The southern Badia is still below the level in terms of student enrolments in schools. There were statistical differences between the students enrolment due to gender. The enrolment gap at Jordan level 42% while at the southern Badia 100%. The study also found statistical differences for school enrolment between males and females. Sixty two % of the females left the school because of getting married while 48% of males left the school for work. Early statistical differences were found between the educational level and gender. Females were less than males in all educational level. The educational gap was 61% at the basic cycle and 51% at secondary and higher education level.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
