In the process of evaluating the environmental activities the school has been a poll groups of students through open-ended questions directed to them to express an opinion in the school system and a link to the science curriculum to the environment, and also posed questions to the science teachers concerning scientific activity the school and how it addresses the problems of the environment in which we live, and what role science teacher in the school environment and activated.
The responses of teachers and students to these questions are clear and comprehensive and reflect the interests of the importance of environmental education, and the questions are as follows:
1 - What do you think the school system? Are you satisfied with him?And suggestions for its development?
2 - What do you think science curriculum linked to the environment?
3 - What do you think the scientific school activity? And suggestions for its development?
Replied the student courtesy of mourning (Girls safety):
1 - the school system effectively and to preserve the calm and cleanliness, and provides an opportunity for all students to participate, and I'm satisfied with it, the school disciplined.
2 - The science that are entirely linked to the environment which includes the reality and practical life, and thus make it easier for students to absorb scientific article, but a long and time is limited, and can not finish the curriculum for teachers.
3 - scientific activity an effective and successful school which gives students a sense of comfort and self-confidence and sense of responsibility, and the link of scientific activity to the environment, the curriculum directs students to the path of safety and how to address environmental problems in Palestinian society.
The student Omaima Abu Sultan (Girls Jabalya b):
1 - a very good school system, where he follows the rules of hygiene and in the school and also following the presence of students or their absence, and takes into account the queue in the morning and after Alastrahtin.
2 - the science curriculum very interesting and most of the themes related to the environment, which is very handy, but a bit large and takes into account the level of some students, and this is reflected negatively on the collection of grades to them.
3 - scientific activity the school a wonderful and very useful, and I'm happy with it so much and I wish that there are many devices in school enables us to practice. The scientific activity is linked to the environment in times, where there are some topics such as: a study of the natural vegetation, installation and household electricity is closely linked to our environment.
The student Nihad Alian (male new Gaza):
1 - for the school system, it needs to develop and improve, whether students or teachers, must be strengthened affiliation of students to this school, and must feel that they are members of their importance to collaborate and succeed ecosystem, and teachers must work in favor of the school and serve the school and its students over the any consideration, as should the administration not to rush in making decisions pertaining to students or teachers. I suggest forming a committee to speak for the students of the school and the students are from an elite school and express their demands and take part in decision-making, and shall have the right to know of any decision taken.
2 - In my opinion, science curriculum is always a difficult and long, and the science curriculum for ninth grade is appropriate and only a light and mobile unit of electricity, this is a long and crammed.Unfortunately, the curricula of science is rarely linked to the environment, especially for ninth grade only Platform for Health and the Environment, on the whole I am satisfied with the science curriculum for ninth grade, but the platform of health and the environment I am satisfied with him because he deals with topics very important, and useful in practical life, such as: types of pollution, Traffic rules.
3 - in fact, the scientific activity the school is scarce to a large extent not applied in practice in our schools, and I am not satisfied with him at all, I did not enter the lab school, only four or five times, and was crowded, and we have not to do something, all we did was watch the teacher is The preparation of the experiment, so that we can not make any experience no matter how simple. I propose to develop the provision of school laboratories and a wide and equipped with the latest laboratory system, and provide tools and modern laboratory equipment and sophisticated enough for use, planning methodology aimed at activating the role of students in the field of scientific activity, and self-reliance in the conduct of these activities.
Unfortunately, the scientific activity we have not linked to the environment, and is limited to scientific experiments, it is not addressing the problems of water or rain, agriculture, and we lack such activities on the environment, and propose the provision of share, if it is monthly, addressing environmental problems on the ground, and watched students of these problems with their own eyes, If not, Through documentary films, at least.
As for the questions addressed to the teachers, were as follows:
"Scientific activity aspects of a school environment school":
