Abstract
The Objective of the current research is to Referential Activity Analysis of the most prominent contents of the educational topics in the Diseases Unit in the Science and Environment course for twelfth grade in the Sultanate of Oman , which enhance the skills of twelfth grade students in the Sultanate of Oman to deal with the risks of the Corona pandemic. The Results for the first Chapter (diseases) Mean = 3.16 moderately low and clearly, the second chapter (disease prevention) Mean = 3.35 moderately low, and the unit as a whole (disease control and human health) = 3.29 moderately low, and in light of the results of the Referential Activity Analysis of A proposed conception of the contents of Students Dealing with the risks of Pandemics outbreak was developed in the science and environment syllabus for the twelfth grade in the Sultanate of Oman, in terms of: a diagram of the concept of the Corona pandemic, the model of viral spread, and precautionary measures: washing hands and a face mask to stop the viral spread, and the curve of viral infection, Presenting Corona virus vaccines, national efforts to reduce the Corona pandemic, media discourse, manifestations of social weakness and the Corona pandemic, and scientific activity, and in light of the results of the Research, a number of recommendations were formulated.
