The extent to which the physics teachers of the preparatory stage are familiar with the skills of formal thinking

The current research aims to identify the extent to which the physics teachers of the preparatory stage are familiar with the skills of formal thinking. The validity and reliability of the scale, and the current research community was determined by physics teachers for the preparatory stage in Al-Qadisiyah Governorate for the academic year 2021-2022 AD, as the random sampling method was used in selecting physics teachers. The results showed that the arithmetic mean of the teachers’ scores in the formal thinking skills scale (117,54), and a standard deviation of (12,779), and to find out the significance of the difference between the arithmetic mean of the teachers’ scores and the hypothetical mean of the scale of (111) the researcher used the T-test for one sample, T-test sample and the results showed that the calculated t-value is equal to (5,121) and it is greater than the tabular t-value, which is equal to (1.96) at a degree of freedom (99) and at a significance level (0.05), which indicates that there is a statistically significant difference between the arithmetic mean and the hypothetical average.&nbsp
