Analysis of the Content of the Chemistry Book for the Third Grade is Average according to Controversial Issues

Abstract

The aim of the research to analyze the content of the chemistry book for the third grade is medium according to the controversial issues of the academic year (2020 -2021), to achieve this goal a list of controversial issues was prepared to analyze the content of the chemistry book for the third-grade medium, named the tool of analysis, consisted of (6) major issues emerging from (54) sub-issues, after referencing to educational literature, the opinions of competent arbitrators and some chemistry teachers, and the chemistry book was analyzed according to the analysis tool and showed the results using repetitions and percentages The third-grade chemistry book averaged 107 repeats, and about the inclusion of key controversial issues, the chemistry book for the third-grade average included five major issues ranging from (66.36% to 1.87%) Except for the issue of chemical weapons, the chemistry book did not include the middle third grade, and the percentage was( 0%) percent,It has been found that most of the sub-issues were not included in the content of the chemistry book for the third-grade medium, which included in the list of controversial issues prepared, and the researcher believes that these issues can be included in the content of the chemistry book for the third-grade average as contemporary and important issues in how they suit the size of these issues taking into account integration, sequence and balance, and in light of the findings of the study, a set of conclusions, recommendations and proposals were presented, including: 1-Inclusion of topics and controversial issues in the content of the chemistry book for the third grade is average. 2-Recommend to researchers to conduct further studies on controversial issues and use the experimental curriculum and use them with different variables such as achievement, study skills and life in students and different stages of study .
3-Directing the attention of specialists in the reform of science curricula, especially the curriculum of chemistry, to the importance of including controversial issues as it is one of the modern trends of scientific education.
