How Does Science Learning Occur in the Classroom? Students’ Perceptions of Science Instruction During the Implementation of the REAPS Model

Abstract: In this qualitative study the researchers explored children's perceptions of their participation in a science class in which an elementary science curriculum, the Full Option Science System (FOSS), was combined with an innovative teaching model, Real Engagement in Active Problem Solving (REAPS). The children were capable of articulating views about their learning experiences during science classes. Meaningful experiences with deep levels of engagement were those that involved hands-on activities, such as exper… Show more

“…The PBL Model has five syntaxes, namely: directing students to problems, organizing students to learn, helping independent and group investigations, developing and presenting artifacts and exhibits, and analyzing and evaluating problem-solving processes (Arends, 2012). Characteristics of the PBL Model are designed to help students improving their inquiry skills and problem-solving skills, social behavior and skills according to the role of adults, as well as independent learning skills for the investigation of everyday life issues (Arends, 2012;Arizaga, Bahar, Maker, Zimmerman, & Pease, 2016;Nilson, 2016). The PBL Model begins with a complex real life (Ledesma, 2016), unstructured, and involves interdisciplinary content (Loucky, 2017), engages in collaborative teaching to manage an increasingly diverse student population (Guilherme, Faria, & Boaventura, 2016;Kang, Kim, & Lee, 2015).…”

“…Because with problem-based learning, students will feel to be as if they are directly involved in the case. Gomez-arizaga [11] students enjoy with the learning activities where they are being involved directly because they have the opportunity to create, share, and realize their ideas.…”

“…Students' depiction of themselves as happy implies that they are happy in science classes. Gomez-Arizaga et al (2016) examined the perceptions of third -grade students about science classes through their drawings. Their studies depicted that a clear majority of the children (76%) illustrated themselves with a happy face, while none of them illustrated themselves with an unhappy face.…”
