The results showed that the level of awareness among teachers of the first three grades in the public schools about the issue was of a medium level in all fields with a mean of (3.26) of the tool as a whole.

The results revealed there were no differences attributed to the variables (gender, and experience); while the results revealed that there were differences attributed to the scientific qualification variable in favor of postgraduate studies.
