The Effect of the 5E Learning Model Supported with Material Ensuring Conceptual Change on Science Achievement: The Example of “Heat and Temperature”

Abstract

This study seeks to examine the effect of the 5E learning model, as one of the constructivist learning approach models, supported by conceptual change texts and enriched with relevant guidance materials on eliminating the fifth-grade students' (n=42) misconceptions about "Heat and Temperature". A quantitative research approach was employed by conducting the pre-test and post-test quasi-experimental design of the non-equivalent groups, namely the experimental and control groups. Before the implications, the Heat and Temperature Achievement Test (HTAT) was used to determine the academic achievement levels of the students in the experimental and control groups in the topic of heat and temperature. The pre-test results between both group students did not find a significant difference. There was a significant difference in favor of the experimental group between the HTAT post-test results. From the results obtained within the scope of the study, it was concluded that this learning model was effective in eliminating the fifth-grade students' misconceptions about the topic of heat and temperature.

Using the 5Es Model on Inquiry-Based Learning to Develop Grade 6 Student Science Learning

“…First, it could be claimed that the 5Es model as a framework in the inquiry-based teaching approach positively affected students' learning achievement of force and motion. The result of the study adds evidence to support the benefits of the model in science education, and it is consistent with previous studies (e.g., Açışl et al, 2021;Bantaokul & Polyiem, 2022;Iscan & Seyhan, 2021;Khan et al, 2020;Ong et al, 2020;Ong et al, 2021) that discovered similar results. Inquiry-based learning is a teaching approach that emphasizes student-driven investigation and problem-solving, with the goal of fostering a deeper understanding of the material being studied (Caswell & LaBrie, 2017).…”

Pre-service teachers’ ideas about obtaining electricity in nuclear power stations in a role play context

“…), the results indicate that the non-scientifically informed ideas held by our PPTs with regard to the process of obtaining electricity in a nuclear power station are consistent with those described by other authors in students of different educational stages, including undergraduates. As in previous studies (Iscan & Seyhan, 2021;Jho et al, 2014;Pontes, 2000;Solbes, 2007), the misconceptions we encountered were related especially to the general concept of energy. Importantly, although we observed a significant shift towards more scientifically informed ideas following the role play, a number of erroneous ideas remained at post-test, and in some cases were expressed by PPTs who had not done so prior to the role play.…”

The effect of the 5E instructional model on students’ cognitive processes and their attitudes towards chemistry as a subject

“…The results of several studies confirm that 5E model is more efficient than teacher-centered methods of instruction. It develops understanding of scientific knowledge and increases students motivation as well as their interest in studying science (e.g., Bakri & Adnan, 2021;Bezen & Bayrak, 2020;Boakye & Nabie, 2022;Bybee, 2015;Garcia et al, 2021;Gillies & Rafter, 2020;Iscan & Seyhan, 2021;Itsarangkul Na Ayutthaya & Damrongpanit, 2022;Koyunlu Unlu & Dokme, 2022;Lasaiba, 2023;Suwito et al, 2020;Varoglu et al, 2023). It promotes the development of critical thinking and argumentation skills, as well as the ability to apply the knowledge in practice (Amaliyah et al, 2023;Cahyarini et al, 2016;Chen, 2021;Chu et al, 2017;Ha et al, 2023;Miarti et al, 2021;Vafaeikia et al, 2023).…”
