ABSTRACT

This study aimed to reveal the degree of mastery of female science teachers of the main objectives of science in the light of the constructive theory characteristics and to reveal the differences between the arithmetic averages of the degree of mastery according to the variables: qualification, teaching experience, and constructive characteristics. To achieve the objectives of the study, the researchers used the descriptive method. The sample of the study consisted of (81) female science teachers from public schools in the Directorate of Education in the Northern Al-Mazar and Bani Ubaid, who was chosen randomly. The test of the main objectives of science was applied to the science teachers after confirming its validity and reliability, and the constructive theory characteristics scale was also applied after ensuring its validity and reliability on (405) female students of grades (9-12) who were purposely chosen to evaluate their teachers and to reveal the extent of their possession of the characteristics of the constructivist theory. The results of the study indicated that the mastery of science level among female teachers of the main objectives of science was moderate and that just one of the main objectives of science came with a high level which is "Control", and the other three objectives were moderate "description, Interpretation, prediction". The results also showed that the level of possessing constructive characteristics among female science teachers was moderate. The study found a statistically significant difference at (α=0.05) attributed to the constructive characteristics in the level of science teachers' mastery of science in favor of the female teachers who possess constructive characteristics, while there were no statistically significant differences at (α=0.05) attributed to qualification and teaching experience.
