Abstract:

The study aimed to evaluate the content of the Basics of Scientific Research
course for teacher students at the Faculty of Education at Sana’a University
according to the following evaluation criteria: levels of cognitive goals,methods of critical evaluation, objective questions, problems and creative
research questions. To achieve this, the descriptive analytical approach was
used, and the following tools were built: a list of critical evaluation thinking
methods and methods, a questionnaire for experts’ poll on critical evaluation
thinking methods and methods that need to be developed among students,
and lists of cognitive content analysis according to cognitive levels, and
critical evaluation thinking methods and methods, and objectivity of
questions, problems and creative research questions.
The study reached a set of results, the most important of which are:
– The lack of knowledge content for the Basics of Scientific Research course
in achieving comprehensiveness for the levels of the cognitive domain. The
total weights of the three lowest levels of knowledge: remembering,
understanding and application (96.60%), while the total weights for the
higher levels of knowledge: analysis, synthesis, evaluation, and creativity
(3.40%). of the grand total.
– There are statistically significant differences at the level of significance
(0.01), between the weights of critical evaluative thinking methods and their
methods included in the course and the weights that should be included.
Where it was found that the calculated value of (Ca2) is greater than the
tabular value at the degree of freedom (7).
– Inadequate content of the course in achieving the objective standard of
questions, and the standard of problems and creative research questions.
– There are statistically significant differences at the significance level (0.01),
between the weights of objective and non-objective questions, as well as for
creative and non-creative problems and questions.
