Abstract :

The purpose of this research is to integrate STS issues in the 1st grade physics curriculum in secondary school in Yemen. The results of previous studies revealed that there are many issues to be infused in physics curriculum in Yemen. As a result, the researchers developed an STS issues-based module for the 1st grade physics curriculum. STS content serves as an organizer for the science content and its sequence. In accordance with STS orientation, the researchers create the STS teaching model. To ensure that the objectives have been achieved; a list of criteria to evaluate the issues-based physics module has been used. The criteria are included in a questionnaire that is valid and reliable. A sample of 28 physics teachers and 10 experts in science education responded to this questionnaire. The responses of the referees confirm the fitness and the effectiveness of the developed STS issues-based physics module; so it is possible to integrate STS issues in physics curriculum using the procedures proposed in this study.
