Abstract

This research aims to know the degree of availability of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) in the teacher of Biology preparation program, Faculty of Education, Aden. The two researchers used the descriptive survey-based methodology with a survey analysis of availability method. The sample of the study consisted of all level four students (student teachers) and all faculty members of the Department of Biology for the academic year 2021/2022, second semester, Faculty of Education, Aden. The research instruments included a list of secondary school criteria of Biology in light of the NGSS and a questionnaire, which was verified for its validity and reliability.

  1. Using the statistical t-test, the findings show that there are no statistically significant differences at a significant level (α=0.05) between the means of the faculty members' estimates and the students' estimates of the degree of availability of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) in the teacher of Biology preparation program, Faculty of Education, Aden, attributed to the job variable.
  2. Using the statistical f-test, the findings show that there are no statistically significant differences at a significant level (α=0.05) between the means of the faculty members' estimates of the degree of availability of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) in the teacher of Biology preparation program, Faculty of Education, Aden, attributed to the scientific degree variable.
  3.
