Abstract EN

This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of teaching developing scientific concepts course to special education department students using (PDEODE) strategy on formation of the conceptual structure and epistemological beliefs about science.

The sample of the study consisted of 112 male students, and distributed into two groups, experimental group and control group.

To answer the questions of study, two instruments were developed (conceptual structure test, epistemological beliefs test).

The results showed there are significant statistical differences at a = 0.05 between the mean students’ scores of conceptual structure test, attributed to the instructional strategy in favor of the experimental group, and the use of this strategy increased the percentage of students holding constructivist opinions about science.
