Abstract
The study aimed to know The Level of Performance of Science Teachers in the Sultanate of Oman in Light of NSTA Standards from their Point of View. The study sample consisted of (126) science male and female teachers in the al-dakhliah governorate in the Sultanate of Oman for the academic year 2016/2017. The researchers developed a questionnaire to determine the level of performance of science teachers in light of NSTA standards, which consisted of 83 paragraphs divided into five standards. The results of the study indicate that the level of performance of science teachers was moderate. The results indicated that the highest level performance of science teachers was in teachers' knowledge and understanding of content, followed by the standard of understanding how students learn and use different methods to develop their knowledge. While the lowest level of performance of science teachers in the effective planning of educational units standard. The results also showed no significant differences in the performance of science teachers attributed to the gender variable or specialization variable, while there are differences of statistical significance attributed to the variable qualification scientific and for the benefit of Masters, and the existence of differences of statistical significance attributed to the variable number of years of service and for teachers who have years of experience more than ten years.
Highlights
The tremendous evolution of the world of knowledge and technology has played a major role in changing the roles of the science teacher at the moment
The problem of this study is determined by evaluating the performance of science teachers in the internal province of the Sultanate of Oman in light of the level of National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) standards from their point of view, by answering the following questions of the study: 1- What is the level of performance of science teachers in the al-dakhliah governorate in the Sultanate of Oman in light of the standards of NSTA?
Performance Level: Any role, behavior, or practice undertaken by the teacher in order to achieve his educational goals and objectives, which can be measured by determining the level of performance of science teachers in light of the NSTA standards developed by the researchers
Summary
The tremendous evolution of the world of knowledge and technology has played a major role in changing the roles of the science teacher at the moment. The science teacher is in need of more in-depth knowledge, more knowledge about the methods of teaching science that help them develop higher mental processes for students, and they need to develop their abilities and skills in using modern methods of measuring and evaluating students' achievement (Nashwan, 2001) Developed countries such as the United States of America began in 1989 to set standards for teaching science based on several assumptions, the most important: the need to change the educational system, and attention to how to train students to learn, the teacher to deepen the understanding of students. Al-Khatib (2012) conducted a study aimed at determining the level of performance of science teachers in the stage of empowerment and starting in light of the standards of (NSTA) from the point of view of educational supervisors and school principals and teachers themselves in the governorates of Gaza. The knowledge and competencies of the science teacher at this stage must be more profound and broad as the assistance of students in the development of mental processes, and the high skill of using scientific activities to access the basic principles in science, and the skill of measuring the achievement of students, so the role of the teacher to provide advanced educational materials Students help them shift from theoretical to practical in the field, and provide them with feedback to correct their course (Khatib, 2012)
