Evaluating the professional performance of chemistry laboratory teachers and technicians In light of laboratory skills in secondary schools

Abstract

This study aimed to arrive at an evaluation of the professional performance of chemistry teachers and technicians in light of the skills of dealing with laboratories. Identify the techniques of dealing with laboratories to be provided to chemistry teachers and technicians. Diagnosis of the degree and level of professional performance of chemistry teachers and technicians in light of the skills of dealing with the laboratories and their observance. Access to the foundations and procedures for at an evaluation of the professional performance of chemistry teachers and technicians in the light of the skills of dealing with laboratories. And to know the impact of the training courses on the estimates of the chemistry teachers and technicians to the degree or level of professional performance in light of the skills of dealing with the laboratories. To achieve the objectives of the study, the descriptive analytical method was used. Based on the problem of the study and its objectives, the target community for this study was the chemistry teachers and technicians in public secondary schools (boys - girls) in Asir region in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the total (164) (152) male and female teachers, respectively.
