Abstract

The current study aimed to identify the inclusion level of science fiction dimensions in physics (2) textbook content in secondary stage in Saudi Arabia to. The population and sample of the study consisted of all lessons in physics (2) (courses system) in its edition 1439/1440 AH. To achieve the study aim, a descriptive approach of content analysis was conducted using an analysis tool. The analysis tool was designed in the light of science fiction dimensions, where its validity and reliability of was assured. The analysis tool included (6) dimensions and (22) indicators. The results of the study revealed that the content of physics (2) partially included most science fiction dimensions. Finally, the study posted some of recommendations and suggestions for developing physics content in light of science fiction dimensions.

Keywords: Science fiction, science fiction dimensions, Physics (2).
