The Level of Scientific Literacy of Science Teachers in Al Mafraq Education Directorate and its Relationship with Some Variables
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the level of scientific literacy of science teachers in Al Mafraq Education Directorate, and to investigate the effects of some variables on it. One hundred and three (103) science teachers participated in the study. The instrument chosen for this investigation was the Basic Scientific Literacy Questionnaire (BSLQ), which consisted of twenty-four (24) ‘True’ and ‘False’ questions. The instrument was found to be reliable with Cronbach Alpha value of 0.78. The contributions of the variables sex, experience, qualification, and specialization to the level of scientific literacy, were also analyzed and these were done via one –Sample (t) test, Independent Sample (t) tests, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The study results showed low levels of scientific literacy among science teachers. There were no statistically significant differences in the level of scientific literacy based on sex, scientific qualification, and specialization. However, experience was found to have contributed most and significantly to variations in the level of scientific literacy of the science teachers.
