The impact of a qualification program for science teachers based on classroom performance skills in raising the level of performance of fourth-grade primary and second-intermediate students in standardized tests Timss.pdf

Abstract

The current study aimed at detecting the impact of the qualifying program for science teachers based on the class performance in raising the performance level of fourth grade and eighth grade students in standardized tests TIMSS. To achieve this aim, the study followed the applied experimental method which has one experimental group with independent and dependent variables on a sample consisting of (20) teachers. (10) of fourth grade teachers, and (10) of eighth grade teachers at the schools of the education office in Eastern Jeddah. An achievement test applied for the fourth grade and eighth grade students at the sample teachers' schools. The test consists of (10) questions. For the fourth grade, the test was in the solar system chapter, and for the eighth grade, it was in the regulation and reproduction chapter. The average score and performance ratio of each question have been reached by google drive forms, and the results appeared as follows: -  Fourth grade science, average score (8.2 out of 10) -Eighth grade science, average score (7.75 out of 10)This indicates the positive impact of the qualifying program on the level of students’ performance in the test. In light of its findings, this study suggests a number of recommendations that it believes will contribute to raising the students' performance level in dealing with international tests TIMSS.
