The effectiveness of using the constructivist learning cycle model in acquiring scientific concepts and development the trend towards physical science to high school students

Abstract

This study aimed to reveal the effectiveness of one of the structural learning models, which is the learning cycle model, in acquiring scientific concepts and the trend towards physical sciences for second-year high school students, and in order to achieve this goal and test the hypotheses of the study, the researcher resorted to a set of measurement tools, namely: the conceptual achievement test The scientific and trend toward the subject was prepared by the researcher, as well as the professor’s guide that contains a comprehensive idea of the constructivist learning cycle model and how to implement it in the physical sciences subject, attached to the students ’work papers, and the study relied on the semi-experimental approach, where the study was applied to a sample of (64) ) Students were randomly selected from Sheikh Omar Al-Mukhtar High School in Ain Al-Hajl - M'sila State - in the second semester of the 2018/2019 academic year. The results of the study showed that there are statistically significant differences between the experimental and control groups in the test of achievement of scientific concepts, as well as in the development of the trend towards the subject of physical sciences in the post application and in favor of the experimental group.
