Abstract

The research dealt with the problem of the lack of biology curriculum in the first grade of secondary in the inclusion of interdisciplinary modules, poor training of students in skills related to innovative quality, and the development of professional tendencies. The research aimed to measure the effectiveness of a proposed unit in biomolecular electronics based on research-based learning in the development of innovative quality and professional tendencies of secondary school students. The researcher followed the descriptive analytical approach in determining the unit of study in bioelectronics, and its dimensions, and the dimensions of innovative quality knowledge, skill, and sentimental, and identify professional tendencies. The researcher designed the proposed unit of study, and prepared an innovative quality scale, and a measure of professional tendencies, and applied the unit of study, and research tools on a sample of (22) first graders The results of the research showed the effectiveness of the unit in the development of some cognitive, skill, and some emotional dimensions; the researcher recommended to pay attention to the teaching of interdisciplinary science in the biology course; and to include innovative quality objectives in the curriculum of biology for the secondary level; Medical, health and technology of secondary school students.
