Abstract

Abstract The study aimed at identifying the attitudes of the secondary school students in Gezira State, Gezira Great Medani Locality Schools towards Chemistry and its relation to the following variables : gender, speciali'/.ation, study level and place of residence. The researcher reviewed the problem of the research, its enquiries, suppositions, importance, aims and the approach that he followed in the study. The questions were answered and the correction of the suppositions were checked by statistical treatments and using the statistical Package for social Sciences (SPSS). The researcher included in the literature review the defined of chemistry, its branches and its teaching aims. ln addition, he defined the concept of psychological approaches and its relation to human behavior and the stages of forming the attitudes and the kinds of attitudes and their functions and measuring the attitudes and changing the psychological tendencies. The researcher reviewed previous studies related to the subject of his research. The researcher stated the procedures of the field study where he showed the study population, the study sample, the tool designing and the procedures of validity and reliability and he showed the statistical procedures. The researcher presented the results of the field study and its analysis and interpretation. The researcher outlined conclusions and recommendations The summary of the findings are as follows: 1- There are no statistically significant differences between in the attitudes of the secondary school students in Great Medani Locality Schools towards Chemistry based on gender (male- female). 2- There are statistically significant differences in the attitudes of the students towards Chemistry based on specialization (sciences — arts). 3- There are statistically significant differences in the attitudes of the secondary school students towards chemistry due to the study level (First- second- third class). The researcher came up with the following recommendations from based on the results of the study: 1- T 0 start studying chemistry at the basic level. 2- To enhance learning of chemistry and develop the positive attitudes towards chemistry, the ministry should afford the modern audiovisual equipment and well equipped laboratories. 3- To publish an activity book for the scientific activities that can be implemented by the students under the supervision of their teachers. 4- To revise the chemistry textbooks to cater for the students‘ needs and integrate the curriculum with the different aspects of life (industrial, petrochemical analytic). 5- To let the students express their attitudes towards the curriculum subjects so as to satisfy the students’ needs and their attitudes. 6- To design in-service training courses and workshops for science teachers with up-to-date learning resource centres equipped with electronic data processing and projection derives.
