Abstract

The current research aimed to measure the effect of an enrichment program based on integration between the green chemistry laboratory and life cycle assessment methodology for developing environmental self-efficacy, and the scientific argumentation among the applied college female students in Saudi Arabia. The one-group pre- test and post- test experimental design was used. The research group consisted of (32) in third-level students at the Applied College in Saudi Arabia. The environmental self-efficacy scale, and the scientific argumentation test were applied. The t-test, and the effect size (Cohen's d) was used. The results of the study found that there were statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the pre and post in the environmental self-efficacy scale in all its dimensions and in the scale as a whole, and the scientific argumentation test in all its skills and in the test as a whole, in favor of the post application at the level of significance (α = 0.05), The results of the effect size (Cohen's d) indicated that the program has high impact on the development of both environmental self-efficacy and scientific argumentation. The results were interpreted, and recommendations were presented.
