Abstract

    The current research aimed to investigate the impact of a proposed program based on peace education to develop cognitive performance, emotional intelligence, and peaceable classroom management skills for biology student teachers. To achieve this aim, the descriptive method and the one group, pre- post- test experimental method were used. The tools of the research included: An open and closed questionnaire, a cognitive performance test, an emotional intelligence scale (Bar - on and Parker), and an observation sheet of peaceable classroom management skills. This program was applied to 25 biology student teachers at the Faculty of Education, Alexandria University. The main results of this research indicated: (1) the low level of biology student teachers’ perceptions about peace education, (2) the development of cognitive performance, emotional intelligence and peaceable classroom management skills of biology student teachers who studied the proposed Program based on peace education. In light of the research results, the recommendations emphasized the need to spread a culture of peace education, because of its implications for improving teacher practices, the classroom environment, and student learning.
