The aim of study was to investigate the effect of context-based approach (CBA) through 5E learning cycle (LC) model over traditional instruction on students’ understanding, achievement, and chemical literacy on chemical reactions and energy concepts. The effect of instruction on students’ motivation to learn chemistry and the factors of motivation questionnaire were also explored. Additionally, the effect of gender difference was investigated. Six eleventh grade classes with 187 students taught by three teachers from two public Anatolian high schools of Ankara in 2011-2012 fall semester were enrolled in this study. Each teacher had experimental and control group. These classes were assigned randomly as experimental and control groups. The experimental groups were treated with CBA through 5E LC model, control groups were treated with traditional instruction. Chemical reactions and energy concept test and chemistry motivation questionnaire were administered as pre- and post-tests to groups. Achievement test and open-ended chemical literacy items on chemical reactions and energy were administered as post-tests to all groups. Science process skill test was administered to all groups at the beginning of the instruction. Multivariate Analysis of Covariance (MANCOVA) was used for the analysis of data. The results revealed that CBA through 5E LC model was superior to traditional instruction on students’ understanding, achievement, and chemical literacy in the chemical reactions and energy unit. Although, students’ overall motivation scores did not changed across the groups, experimental groups intrinsic motivation and relevance of learning chemistry to personal goals was superior than control groups. No gender difference was found.

Effectiveness of 5E learning cycle model on hihg school students' understanding of solubility equilibrium concept Aydemir, Nurdane; Geban, Ömer; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2012) The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of instruction based on 5E learning cycle model (LCI) compared to Traditional Instruction (TI) and gender on 11th grade students’ understanding of solubility equilibrium concept, students’ perceived motivation, use of learning strategies, and attitudes towards chemistry. There were 53 students in the experimental group instructed by the LCI and 56 students in the control group instructed by the TI. Solution Concept Test and Science Process Skills Test ...
Effect of structuring cooperative learning based on conceptual change approach on students' understanding of the concepts of mixtures and their motivation Belge Can, Hatice; Boz, Yezdan; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2013) The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of structuring cooperative learning based on conceptual change approach on grade nine students’ understanding the concepts of mixtures and their motivation, compared to traditional instruction. Mixtures Concept Test (MCT), self-efficacy for learning and performance, task value, control of learning beliefs, and test anxiety sub-scales of Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ), and mastery approach goals, mastery avoidance goals, performan...
The Effect of cooperative learning based on conceptual change approach on students’ understanding of chemical bonding concepts Eymur, Gülüzar; Geban, Ömer; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2014) The main purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of cooperative learning based on conceptual change approach on 9th grade students’ understanding in chemical bonding concepts and their attitudes toward chemistry as a school subject compared to traditionally designed chemistry instruction. Seventy-two ninth grade students from two intact classes of chemistry course taught by same teacher in a public high school in Ankara were participated. The study was applied in the spring semester of 2011-201...
The effect of 5E learning cycle model on eleventh grade students’ conceptual understanding of acids and bases concepts and motivation to learn chemistry Çetin Dindar, Ayla; Geban, Ömer; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2012) The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of 5E learning cycle model compared to traditional teacher-centered instruction on eleventh grade students’ conceptual understanding of acids and bases concepts and student motivation to learn chemistry. The measuring tools were Three-tier Acids-Bases Test (TABT) and Chemistry Motivation Questionnaire (CMQ). There were two groups, which were the experimental and traditional group, consisting of 78 students. Before the implementation, the tools were adm...
The Effect of metacognitive instructional method on eleventh grade students’ metacognitive skill and mathematical procedural and conceptual knowledge Abdul Aziz, Tian; Bulut, Safure; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2016) The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of metacognitive instructional method, compared to traditional instruction on eleventh grade science student’s mathematical procedural and conceptual knowledge, and metacognitive skills. Sixty-six eleventh-grade students in a school in Bandung City, Indonesia took part in this study. Matching-only pre-test-post-test control group design was conducted. The classes were randomly assigned to experimental and control group. In the experimental group metacog...
