Abstract

The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of using 4MAT model

on sixth grade students’ achievement in science and their attitudes towards

it, in UNRWA female schools, in Jordan.The sample consisted of (72)

students who were divided into two groups, experimental and control groups.

The experimental group was taught the light unit by 4MAT method, while

the control group was taught in the usual method.An achievement test and

attitude scale were applied on the two groups before and after the teaching.

The study found the following results:

♦ There were significant differences between the two groups in the science

achievement test in favor of the 4MAT group.

♦ There was a significant difference between the two groups in the attitudes

towards science in favor of the 4MAT method.These results can be

attributed to the nature of the 4MAT model which takes in to consideration

the students’ learning style, and the pattern of the two hemispheres of the

brain.

The study recommends further investigation and studies in this area to

see the effect of 4MAT on other dependent variables.
