The level of awareness of nanotechnology and its relationship to productive desire among female students of the Mathematics Department at Al-Leith University College

The research aimed to measure the level of nanotechnology awareness among Mathematics Department female students at Al-Lith College, Umm Al-Qura University, measure their productive disposition, and investigate the relationship between the level of nanotechnology awareness and productive disposition among the sample.  he research adopted the descriptive method, and to achieve its objectives, a test was used to measure the level of nanotechnology awareness, prepared by the researcher. The test consisted of two dimensions: awareness of nanotechnology concepts and awareness of nanotechnology applications. The second tool was the productive disposition scale, which addressed two areas: the first was the perception of the value and nature of mathematics as realistic and useful, and the second was the belief in the individual’s competence and diligence. The study was conducted in the second semester of the academic year 1445 AH on a random sample of 30 students from the Mathematics Department at Al-Lith University College. The researcher used statistical treatments, including the One-Sample T-test, to determine the level of nanotechnology awareness among the sample students, as well as frequencies, percentages, means, standard deviations, and relative weights to describe the responses on the productive disposition scale. Pearson's coefficient was used to verify the statistical significance of the correlation between the students’ scores on the nanotechnology awareness test and their scores on the productive disposition scale. The results of the research indicated that the level of nanotechnology awareness among the sample members was below average, while productive disposition was significantly high. The results also found a weak but statistically significant correlation at the 0.05 significance level between the level of nanotechnology awareness and the degree of productive disposition among the sample members
