This study investigated the degree of scientific and engineering practices
among science teachers according to Next Generation Science Standards at
Najran region, Saudi Arabia. The study targeted science teachers (N=157)
at all public educational levels in Najran. A descriptive approach was
employed and a questionnaire was designed for collecting the required data.
The findings revealed that the degree of science teachers' practices of the
scientific and engineering standards was high in six dimensions: (Building
scientific interpretations and designing engineering solutions, planning and
executing investigations, analyzing and interpreting data, using mathematical
calculation and thinking, relying on scientific argument and evidence, and
gathering, evaluating and transmitting information to others); it was moderate
in two dimensions: (asking questions and problem solving, and developing
and using models). No statistically significant differences attributed to the
variables of gender, years of experience in education, and qualification were
found. The study recommends designing training programs according to
the Next Generation Science Standards to support science teachers' use of
scientific and engineering practices during teaching, namely the standards
that teachers practice to a moderate or low degree as revealed by the study.
