The Negative Attitudes and Practices of Science Teachers that Affect the Level of their Respect from the Perspective of the Students.

Abstract

This research aims at investigating the negative behaviors practiced by

science teachers that affecting their respect among their students.In addition,

to clarify the level of respect in the light of their practicing these behaviors,

and to determine the power of these behaviors on teacher’s respect, and

its maximum accepted value.A random sample of 1800 students was used,

and (120) science teachers in north sector of Jordan (Irbid, Jerash, Ajloon

and Maraq) .The research instrument was a questionnaire.Its validity and

reliability were established, the behaviors were (84) .Findings showed

that there were (50) behaviors practiced statistically significant, with a

level of respect ranged between weak, low and accepted.In addition, there
