أثر استخدام استراتيجية (7E’s)‎ التدريسية في فهم المفاهيم العلمية و اكتساب مهارات التفكير الاستقصائي لدى طلبة المرحلة الأساسية في ضوء مفهوم الذات الأكاديمي

Abstract EN

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of using teaching strategy (7E's) on understanding scientific concepts and acquisition inquiry thinking skills among basic stage students in the light of their academic selfconcept as compared with the traditional method.

The study used a purposeful sample that consisted of (60) eighth grade famales.

The sample was divided into two groups : experimental group which was studied by using a strategy based on constructivist strategy (7E's), and a controlled group which was studied by using the traditional method.

Data were collected by classifying students according to their academic self-concept (High vs Low) by using the academic self-concept scale, a scientific concepts and inquiry thinking skills tests were administered pre and post the experiment.

Data were analyzed using the analysis of variance of factorial design 2 x 2 ANCOVA.

The study revealed that students performed better with the 7E's strategy over those of the traditional method in their understanding of scientific concepts and in acquiring inquiry thinking skills.

The researcher found that the high academic self-concept students performed better than the low academic self-concept students in their understanding of scientific concepts and in acquiring inquiry thinking skills.

In the light of these results, the study recommended carrying out further similar studies on different educational subjects and levels.
