Abstract:
Aims of the current research were to evaluate the content of the computer intermediate stage textbooks in Iraq in accordance with the technological literacy and submitting developmental suggestions, through answering the following questions : - What is the percentage for the availability of the technological literacy fields and their standards and the rising indicators in the computer textbooks content that has been decided for the intermediate stage students and adopted by the Ministry of Education / General Directorate of curriculum in the school year (2015 - 2016)? - What are the developmental suggestions for the computer textbooks content that has been decided for the intermediate stage students depending on the standards and the indicators of the technological literacy fields?And in order to check the first aim of the research, the researcher must validate the null hypothesis of the following : - There are no statistical significant differences at the level of (0.05) in the given importance of the five technological literacy fields in terms of results percentages analysis and ratios of the criterion that has been suggested by the specialists.In order to answer the research questions and verify its hypothesis, the researcher adopted the descriptive and analytical approach. The researcher used as a population and sample of her research two of the computer textbooks content that has been decided for the intermediate stage students, they were (the first and second intermediate level textbooks).In order to prepare the first draft of the research tool that content the five technological literacy fields (The Nature of Technology, Technology and Society, Design, Abilities of Technological World, The Designed World) the researcher depended on the international Standards for Technological Literacy : content for the study of technology (STL) which was approved by the International Society for Educational Technology after translating and adapting them according to the Iraqi environment.In addition to an exploratory study on a sample of (20) computer teachers distributed between first Rusafa and second Rusafa by directing an open ended questionnaire included questions to suggest what are the suitable criteria and indicators for each of the technical literacy fields that should be included in the list.The researcher distributed the first draft tool among some experts and gave them enough time to check each item and removing or adding what is suitable for the tool to become in its final draft in order to measure what has been prepared to measure, then the computer textbooks content was analyzed and evaluated according on its light.The researcher prepared a criterion to represent the percentage of these fields related to the academic content based on the viewpoints of specialists in educational and scientific area.Regarding the unit of analysis it has been adopted the unit idea (explicit and implicit) as a unit of analysis, in order to validate the veracity of the analysis after displaying a model of the analysis method on a number of specialists who have experiences in content analysis, as well as confirming the stability analysis by an agreement with the researcher herself and with two of outside analysts ,the reliability was ranging between (87.33% - 96.09%), the acceptable stability of transactions. The researcher used a number of statistical methods such as (percentages, J. Cooper equation to calculate the stability of the content analysis, Chi - square to compare the percentages of the results of the analysis with the proposed arbitrators' specialists' percentages and (SPSS).It has been found that the content of intermediate Computer Textbooks phase did not take into account the technological literacy fields required level axes were not observed, but the interest came about is an irregular and balanced, as well as the omission of Textbooks to a set of criteria and indicators pertaining to technical literacy axes, so the researcher prepared a suggested material include these criteria and indicators after presenting them to a group of specialists in the fields of computers, curricula and methods of teaching science.In light of the results of this research some conclusions have been reached the most important of them are weakness of specialists familiarity and respective personnel to prepare the content of computer Textbooks for the intermediate level by international standards relating to the technical literacy fields, and that the process of distribution of standards among Computer Textbooks content for intermediate stage has wildly irregular.Therefore, based on the findings some recommendations are suggested.The most important of them are guiding and drawing attention of specialists who are in charge of the preparation and development of the computers curricula material in the Ministry of Education to benefit from the suggested material that the researcher has developed in this research by including computers textbooks content the standards of the technical literacy fields that are unavailable in the current textbooks and to keep up with the current developments, moreover, taking into account integral and sequence and balance of Computer textbooks by including the standards of technical literacy fields and indicators.To Complementing and development this research the researcher put some suggestions, including : 1. Conducting a similar research for the preparatory stage to evaluate the computer textbooks according to technical literacy, so specialists and concerned people who are involved in the preparation of the computer textbooks content have complete information.2. Conducting a comparative study between the computer textbooks content in Iraq in a specific school stage, and other countries textbooks according to the technical literacy standards.
