The effects of teaching physics using the systemic cognitive comprehensive model (SCCM)‎ in developing students scientific thinking skills

الملخص EN

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of teaching physics using the systemic cognitive comprehensive model (SCCM) on developing the scientific thinking skills of 11th graders, compared with the traditional method.

This model consists of three phases that address specific scientific reasoning skills, the phases are: cognitive, epistemological, and metacognitive phase.

Many lessons that follow the SCCM model were developed for the "matter changes unit included in the physics textbook for the 11th grade scientific stream pupils in Jordanian public schools.

The sample of the study consisted of (120) subjects of a typical eleventh grade scientific stream pupil, with a mean age of 16 years, drawn randomly from two public schools in the city of Mafraq, one for boys, the other for girls.

The results of the study indicated that the SCCM model of teaching is more effective than the traditional one in developing the scientific thinking skills of the study subjects.
