A proposed Vision to Integrate Water Education Requirements in Middle Level Science Courses in Saudi Arabia

Abstract

The current study aimed to provide a proposed vision to integrate water education requirements in middle level science courses in Saudi Arabia. To achieve the goal of the study, the descriptive survey method was applied to build the study tool and the proposed visualization, and the content analysis method to analyze the content of the curricula, the sample of the study to identify the degree of its inclusion in the requirements of water education books. A list of the most important requirements for aquaculture to be included in science courses for the intermediate stage was built. The study tool was the content analysis tool, and it consisted of (50) phrases distributed over 6 main requirements, and to access and interpret the results using statistical packages (SPSS), frequencies and percentages. The results concluded that the degree of including meddle level science courses for the requirements of water education was low, as the percentage of intake for all three stages was (33.33 %). In light of the results, the study presented a vision to integrate water education requirements in middle level science courses. The study recommended a continuous review of science courses to ensure that they keep pace with current developments and changes, and the need to reconsider science courses for the meddle level in terms of including the requirements of aquaculture, and to benefit from the proposed vision to include those requirements.
