Abstract

The target course  was utilized a Next generation science standards, and aimed at developing  Phylogenetic Tree Thinking and constructing biological explanation of biology student teachers, based on quasi experimental design with two group, to investigate the impact of the proposed course, using quantitative method through multi choice tests for Phylogenetic Tree Thinking and quantify the other open-ended test for constructing biological explanation, applied at (36) biology student teachers. The results showed the effectiveness of the course in developing Phylogenetic Tree Thinking and constructing biological explanation of biology student teachers at faculty of Education- Alexandria University.
