Abstract

The study aimed to investigate the degree of encouraging pupils of the Lower Elementary Stage at UNRWA schools by social studies teachers in Jordan to practice active learning from their perspectives. The study sample consisted of (370) teachers of social studies at UNRWA schools in Jordan; (179) male teachers comprising (48.4 %) and (191) female teachers comprising (51.6%) of the study sample. A survey questionnaire consisting of (35) items was designed to measure the teachers’ practice degree of involving pupils in active learning. The reliability and validity of the survey items were checked. Research results showed that the average estimation degree of the social studies teachers’ practice of involving pupils in active learnings was generally high amounting (3.85) comprising (77%). Results also showed that (16) items of the survey questionnaire revealed very high degree of teacher encouragement, (13) items revealed high degree of encouragement, while (4) items revealed moderate degree of encouragement, (2) items revealed low degree of encouragement. Finding of the study revealed that there were no statistically significant differences between the social studies teachers’ practice degree of involving their pupils in active learning attributed to the gender variable, marital status, and teaching experience. However, results revealed that there were statistically significant differences between the social studies teachers’ practice degree of involving their pupils in active learning attributed to the teacher’s education level in favour of holders of the Bachelor’s degree, and the teacher’s residence in favour of residents of cities and refugee camp.
