Designing a Training Program in Light of SBAE Standards for Teaching Competency-Based Curricula to Improve Teaching Competencies among Student-Teachers of Agricultural Sciences

Abstract

The research investigated the effectiveness of designing a training program based on SBAE standards for teaching competency-based curricula to improve the teaching competencies of student-teachers of the Agricultural Sciences. A training program was designed and built in light of SBAE standards according to the ADDIE model. A mixed research approach with an embedded design was used. The study tools were an achievement test, a performance test, and a self-report instrument. The study sample was 25 male and female students from the fourth Grade of the Agricultural Sciences Division at the Faculty of Education - Tanta University. The results indicated that: there were statistically significant differences between the average scores of the two applications: pre-test (12.84), which represents (37.76%), and post-test (27.64), which means (81.29% ) for the research sample in the total score of the test in favor of the post-application, which has a higher average (27.64), as well as the sub-levels of the cognitive test. The results also revealed that there is significance for the differences between all the averages of the research sample and the hypothetical average for each task of the performance test tasks. It is also clear that there is significance for the differences between the overall test average of 63.08 (93.42%) compared to the hypothetical average of 48 (66.6%). The research recommended the necessity of adding a course on the CBC and how to work within it to the courses for preparing student-teachers of agricultural sciences in colleges of education.
