Abstract

The research aimed to study the effectiveness of a proposed course in nanophysics and its technological applications to develop nanotechnology concepts and attitudes towards them among second-year secondary school students. To conduct this research, the experimental method was used with a quasi-experimental design based on a single-group design with pre- and post-tests. The research sample consisted of (45) second-year secondary school students. The proposed unit was taught in the first semester of the academic year 2023-2024 AD, and the research tools were applied to them, which are a test to measure nanotechnology concepts and a scale of attitudes towards them. After completing teaching for the research group, applying the research tools before and after, and processing the results statistically, the results showed that the students of the research group outperformed the post-application over the pre-application with a statistically significant difference at a significance level of (0.01) in terms of developing nanotechnology concepts and attitudes towards them, as the research results indicated the effectiveness of the proposed unit in developing the research variables. The research recommended integrating the proposed unit into the physics curriculum for second-year secondary school students.
