A proposed Unit in Synthetic Biology and its Applications to Develop Future Thinking Skills and Awareness of its Ethics among Biology Section Students at the Faculties of Education

The current research aimed to prepare a proposed unit in synthetic biology and its applications to develop future thinking skills and awareness of its ethics among Biology Section Students at the Faculty of Education. To achieve this, a list of synthetic biology concepts and their applications was prepared, then the proposed unit was prepared in the concepts of synthetic biology and its applications, The test and scale were previously applied to a group of (33) students of the third year, Biology Section Students at the Faculty of Education, Benha University, The research relied on a one-group experimental design, then teaching the proposed unit, then applying the tools post-test. The results concluded that there is a statistically significant difference at the level of significance ≤ 0.05 between the mean scores of the students of the experimental group in the pre- and post-applications for all skills and the total score for testing future thinking skills in favor of the post-application and There is a statistically significant difference at the significance level ≤ 0.05 between the mean scores of the experimental group students in the pre and post applications for all dimensions and the total score of the awareness scale of synthetic biology ethics in favor of the post application.
