Abstract

The current study aimed to build a proposed program in biotechnology based on the integrated approach between science, technology, society and the environment (STSE) and to measure its effectiveness in acquiring biotechnological concepts, developing biotechnological Solving Problems skills for Students of the Second Year of Agricultural Secondary School. To achieve this goal, experimental treatment materials represented in the proposed program were prepared. They are the student's handbook and the teacher's guide for teaching its subjects, and the measurement tools were represented in: the tests of biotechnological concepts, developing biotechnological Solving Problems skills. Of (35) students in the second grade of agricultural secondary, the measurement tools were applied before teaching the topics of the program and then applied afterwards after the completion of teaching its topics. The results of the study showed that the proposed program successfully and significantly contributed to the acquisition of biotechnological concepts, developing biotechnological Solving Problems skills, where a statistically significant difference was found at the level (,01) between the mean scores of the study group students in the pre-application and post- application of the study's measurement tools; In favour of the dimensional application. The study also recommended the necessity of spread biotechnological culture in these students, and of including biotechnology within the programs of preparing students of the Agricultural Sciences Division, College of Education.
