Abstract

 

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 2x2 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.
