Psychology Units Involvement Coefficient in the Textbooks of Philosophy and Human Sciences for Secondary School Students in the Syrian Arab Republic

Abstract

This research aimed at measuring psychology units involvement coefficient in the textbooks of philosophy and human sciences for secondary school students in the Syrian Arab Republic for the academic year (2020-2021) through displaying the scientific content, activities, pictures and drawings. To achieve the research objectives, the research used the descriptive analytical approach by using the content analysis card after verifying its validity and reliability. Romey Equation was used to calculate involvement coefficients.

The results showed that the involvement coefficient value of displaying the scientific content was (0.49) and it was within the accepted range which Romey depended on. So, the units of psychology can be considered participatory for students regarding displaying the scientific content. The involvement coefficient value of displaying the scientific content was (0.5) and it was within the accepted range approved by Romey. The units of psychology cannot be considered participatory for students regarding instructional activities as the involvement coefficient value of pictures and instructional shapes was (0.33) which is not within the accepted range approved by Romey. However, the units of psychology cannot be considered participatory for students regarding pictures and instructional shapes.

In the light of the previous results, the research recommended an increased care of involvement in psychology units through pictures and instructional shapes, and increasing the care for the standard of involvement in the process of designing instructional curricula.
