Scientific values included in the book of physics for the third grade in the secondary stage in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

Abstract

This study aimed to identify the scientific values ​​included in the book of physics for the third grade secondary in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. In order to achieve the objective of the study, the researcher used the descriptive method through the method of content analysis, where the researcher prepared a criterion for analysis. The study community may be of all subjects listed in the physics book without exposure to the content of the exercises, introductions, indexes and images. The researcher concluded that the total frequency of the scientific values ​​included in the book of physics for the third grade secondary reached (521) scientific value, these frequencies varied in the first semester and the second semester of the book of physics for the third grade secondary, (14.2%) compared to other values, while the value of scientists as the lowest percentage (4.8%). The researcher also found the lack of the book of physics of scientific values ​​when linked to the objectives of education policy in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the objectives of the secondary stage, and the objectives of the physics course in particular, and showed that interest in scientific values ​​was closer to randomness and without prior planning of the scientific values ​​to be learned and focus on, The researcher presented a number of recommendations to develop the role played by the book of physics through the interest in including the scientific values ​​based on clear objectives taken by those who build the curriculum to suit the data of the age of knowledge and technology, Each regular and focus on scientific missing in the book values ​​by increasing replication.
