أثر استخدام دورة التعلم في تغيير الفهم الخطأ لدى طلبة الصف الثامن الأساسي في الأردن

Abstract EN

The present study was designed to explore the impact of the use of the learning cycle in changing the misconceptions of eighth grade students in Jordan.

The study sample consisted of (118) students divided into two groups: the experimental group (60 males and females), which was subject to the learning cycle, and the control group (58 males and females) subject to traditional learning methods.

The two research instuments used in the study were an achievement test consisting of (20) multiple choice questions, which was implemented before and after the initiation of the study, and instructional material for the chosen learning unit.

The main findings of the study indicate that a statistical difference may be attributed to use of the learning cycle in changing the attitudes of eighth grader students, especially between the achievement level of high and average achievers as compared to low achievers, and between the achievement of those subject to the leaning cycle and those who were not.

The researcher concludes by making a number of recommendations based upon the results of the study.
