Abstract

The aim of the research is to identify the reality of the perceptions of secondary school natural science teachers towards applying e-learning tools on the Madrasati platform in the study plans developed in Al-Kharj Governorate, and to reveal the extent of differences - if any - towards preparing lessons electronically, educational activities, and evaluation methods, attributed to scientific specialization and years of experience. In teaching. The study population consisted of all female teachers of natural sciences at the secondary stage enrolled in government schools affiliated with the Department of Education in the city of Al-Kharj in the year (1445 AH), amounting to (160) female teachers. The study sample was (80) female teachers from the original community who were chosen randomly, in order to achieve the objectives of the study. The researcher designed a tool consisting of (21) statements, distributed over three axes: preparing lessons electronically, educational activities, and evaluation methods. The researcher verified the validity of the study tool through the arbitrators, its internal consistency, and its stability by calculating the reliability coefficient (Cronbach's alpha correlation coefficient) on a pilot sample. The required statistical treatments that are appropriate to the study questions were performed: one-way analysis of variance, and calculation of frequencies, percentages, arithmetic means, and standard deviations. The results of the research showed that the reality of the perceptions of secondary school natural sciences teachers towards the application of e-learning tools on the Madrasati platform in the developed study plans came in an acceptable range, as evaluation methods came in first place, followed by educational activities, while preparing lessons electronically came in last place. The results showed that there were no statistically significant differences in the perceptions of secondary school natural science teachers regarding the application of e-learning tools on the Madrasati platform in the developed study plans due to scientific specialization and years of teaching experience.
