A suggested proposal to include nanotechnology concepts in geometry and measurement courses

Abstract

The current study aims to is developing a suggested proposal to include the nanotechnology concepts in geometry and measurement courses. The descriptive analytical method was used in conducting the study. Where a list of nanotechnology concepts was reached and according to it two instruments were built: The first, a scale of awareness of nanotechnology concepts, which was applied to the students of the Mathematics Department at the College of Education, they were (149) students.  The second: a form for analyzing the content of geometry and measurement courses where it was applied On the curricula of Geometry and Measurement (1) and Geometry and Measurement (2), which are taught in the Mathematics Department, College of Education - Sana’a. The results of the study showed a low awareness of nanotechnology concepts among students of mathematics at the College of Education in Sana’a, and the results of the analysis showed that the courses in Geometry and Measurement (1) and Geometry and Measurement (2) were devoid of nanotechnology concepts and applications, which shows the extent of the shortcomings of the courses in keeping pace with global updates. According to the results of the study, a suggested proposal was built to include nanotechnology concepts and their applications in each of the scientific content, activities and tasks presented to students.
