Abstract
The current research aims to build a training program based on the skills of collecting and organizing information for physics teachers in the secondary schools, and to verify the effectiveness of the proposed program in developing systemic thinking among teachers in physics. To achieve the aim of the research, the researchers followed the procedures of the descriptive method and the one-group experimental method with pre- and post-test. The researchers prepared the training program, which included educational objectives, training content, appropriate training strategies, accompanying activities, training methods, and evaluation methods. It consisted of (14) training sessions, and the researcher verified its validity through It was presented to a group of arbitrators and the research sample consisted of (32) physics teachers in Amiriyat Al-Samoud Education Department in Anbar Governorate Education Directorate. The researchers prepared the research tool (test) to measure systemic thinking, verified its validity and reliability, extracted the discriminatory powers and the difficulty factor of the items, and indicated a criterion for correcting the test. It was applied pre- and post-test to the research sample. The researchers trained the sample during the experiment, which lasted for three months for the academic year 2023-2024. The data was collected and analyzed using the t-test for two correlated samples. The results showed that there were statistically significant differences between the ranks of the research sample’s scores in the pre- and post-tests in the systemic thinking test for the favor of the post-test and there is an effectiveness of the training program in developing systemic thinking, and in light of the results, the researchers concluded a number of conclusions and recommendations.
