الملخص EN

The aim of the research is to build a model in STEM education, and to measure its effect on the development of conceptual understanding among talented female students who are scientifically advanced in high school in Saudi Arabia.

To achieve this, the descriptive and semi-experimental research methodology was used, and a sample of scientifically talented female students was selected from the first high school in Ouhed Rafida, Asir Educational District.

The sample numbered 20 female students in the first grade of secondary school, divided into 8 female students in an experimental group (4 groups each with two students) and 12 female students for a control group.

The research tool (a conceptual understanding test) was prepared and conducted scientific control and applied pre-post to the sample members.

The proposed model was contained five stages based on investigative questioning, which included 10 procedural steps.

To measure the effect of the model applied to the members of the experimental sample to teach the subject of “thermodynamics”, and the control group studied in the usual way.

The results showed statistically significant differences at a probability level below (0.05) between the average grades of the experimental group grades and the average grades of the control group in the conceptual understanding test as a whole and its dimensions, in favor of the experimental group, where the value of “U” (0.000) was also statistically significant at the level (0.000).

The Z value was also statistically significant at a level (0.000).

The results also showed that the value of the effect of the independent variable according to (field) was significant because its value was higher than the standard value (0.5), indicating the impact of the proposed STEM education model on the development of conceptual understanding among experimental sample students.

Recommendations and suggestions were formulated in the light of the findings.
