برنامج قائم على المدخل البيئي لتنمية بعض مفاهيم علوم الأرض وأثره على السلوک الاستکشافي لدى أطفال الروضة A Program Based on The Environmental Approach for Developing Some Earth Science Concepts and Its Impact on Exploratory Behavior of Kindergarten Children

هدف البحث الحالي إلى تنمية بعض مفاهيم علوم الأرض لدى أطفال الروضة باستخدام برنامج قائم على المدخل البيئي ومعرفة أثره على السلوک الاستکشافي لديهم، وقد تکونت العينة من مجموعة قوامها(70) طفلاً وطفلة من أطفال المستوى الثاني KG2 بإحدى الروضات التابعة لإدارة أسيوط التعليمية تم تقسيمهم إلى مجموعتين (تجريبية وضابطة) قوام کل مجموعة منهما (35) طفلاً وطفلة، وقد أعدت الباحثة مواد البحث التالية : قائمة مفاهيم علوم الأرض المناسبة لطفل الروضة و قائمة بأبعاد السلوک الاستکشافي لطفل الروضة ، وکذلک تم إعداد برنامج قائم على المدخل البيئي لتنمية بعض مفاهيم علوم الأرض لدى طفل الروضة ، کما تم إعداد أدوات قياس البحث وهي: اختبار مفاهيم علوم الأرض المصور لطفل الروضة ،ومقياس السلوک الاستکشافي لطفل الروضة وتوصلت نتائج البحث إلى وجود فروق دالة إحصائياً بين متوسطات درجات المجموعتين التجريبية والضابطة على أدوات البحث في التطبيق البعدي لصالح المجموعة التجريبية ، کما تم التوصل إلى وجود فروق دالة إحصائياً بين متوسطات درجات المجموعة التجريبية في التطبيقين القبلي والبعدي على أدوات البحث لصالح التطبيق البعدي ، کما تم التوصل إلى وجود علاقة ارتباطية موجبة دالة إحصائياً بين درجات الأطفال في اختبار مفاهيم علوم الأرض المصور ودرجاتهم في مقياس السلوک الاستکشافي بعد تطبيق البرنامج.
Research Abstract
The objective of the current research is to develop some of the Earth science concepts of kindergarten children using an environmental approach -based program and its impact on their exploratory behavior , The sample consisted of a group of (70) children of Level KG2 in one of Assiut educational directorate kindergartens. The group was divided into two subgroup (experimental and officer) of (35) children each.  The researcher prepared the following research materials: A list of geosciences concepts suitable for the kindergarten child and a list of the dimensions of the exploratory behavior of the kindergarten child. A program based on the environmental approach for the development of some of the earth sciences concepts of the kindergarten child has also been prepared. Research measurement tools have also been prepared: The test of Earth science concepts depicted for the kindergarten child, the scale of exploratory behavior for the kindergarten child. The results of the research revealed that there were statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the experimental and control groups on the research tools in the post application in favor of the experimental group. it was also found that there were statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the experimental group in the two applications, before and after, on the research tools in favor of the post application, and there was also a positive, statistically significant correlation between the scores of children in the Illustrated Earth Science Concepts Test and their scores in the exploratory behavior scale after applying the the program
