Content analysis of the developed science textbook (Collins) for the fourth grade in Jordan in light of the requirements of (TIMSS-2019)

Abstract

The study aimed to analyze the content of the developed science book (Collins) for the fourth grade in Jordan in light of the requirements of (TIMSS, 2019) The analysis card was designed in light of the list of requirements of the international study project (TIMSS, 2019), and to ensure its validity and stability. The results of the study concluded The content of the developed science book (Collins) is consistent in terms of the percentages of the main areas of content with the requirements of (TIMSS-2019), where the content areas were distributed in percentages that reached (47.5%) in the field of biology, while this area was mentioned in the standards (TIMSS-2019). By (45%), and in the field of physics, the percentage coincided with the same percentage in the standards of ((TIMSS-2019), which is (35%), while the field of Earth science in the science book was at a percentage of (17.5%) compared to (20%) in the standards of (( TIMSS-2019, and although the percentages of content areas agree with TIMSS-2019 standards, 31 of the content indicators did not appear in the Science Book among the 57 approved indicators in content standards according to TIMSS-2019. Accordingly, the study recommends Continuing to plan science books in Jordan in light of international standards, especially TIMSS standards, and taking into account the inclusion of indicators of content areas concepts in a balanced manner.
