effectiveness of a suggested program in green Chemistry based on the Ethical Analysis Approach for developing ethical thinking skills among pre-service science teacher

The aim of the current research is to know the effectiveness of a proposed program in green chemistry based on ethical analysis approach in developing moral thinking skills of fourth year chemistry majors. To achieve the objectives of the research, a proposed program was prepared on green chemistry based on ethical analysis approach. This program included the scientific content of green chemistry, the teacher’s guide formulated according to the ethical analysis approach, and student worksheets formulated according to the ethical analysis approach. The research instruments included the scale of moral thinking skills prepared by the researcher. The research used the quasi-experimental approach with a one-group design using the pre- post measurements of the research variables. The research materials and tools were applied to a group of students of the fourth year, chemistry department, Faculty of Education, Minia University. The participants were (36) male and female students in the academic year 2021/2022 AD. The results showed the effectiveness of a proposed program in green chemistry based on ethical analysis approach in developing moral thinking skills of fourth year chemistry majors. The research recommended directing the attention of those responsible for preparing programs in colleges of education to include green chemistry in the preparation programs of chemistry teachers, and the importance of training in-service chemistry teachers to use the ethical analysis approach in the teaching process to develop their moral aspects.
