This study investigated the effectiveness of 5E learning cycle on 6(th)-grade students' achievement of cell concepts, and their scientific epistemological beliefs. Epistemological Belief Questionnaire and the Cell Concept Test were administered as pre-test and post-test to a total of 153 sixth grade students in four intact classes of an elementary school. Two classes were randomly assigned as control and experimental groups. Experimental groups received 5E learning cycle instruction and control groups received traditional instruction. The data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance. Results showed that treatment had a significant effect on the collective dependent variables. Univariate ANOVAs indicated a statistically significant mean difference between experimental and control groups regarding cell concepts achievement and epistemological beliefs in the favor of experimental groups.

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 ...
Effectiveness of context based approach through 5E learning cycle model on students' understanding of chemical reactions and energy concepts and their motivation to learn chemistry Çiğdemoğlu, Ceyhan; Geban, Ömer; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2012) 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 tea...
Effectiveness of 5E learning cycle model on students' understanding of acid-base concepts Akar, Elvan; Demircioğlu, Hüsniye; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2005) The main purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of instruction based on 5E learning cycle model over traditionally designed chemistry instruction on tenth grade students2 understanding of acid-base concepts. Fifty- six tenth grade students from two classes of a chemistry course taught by the same teacher in Atatürk Anatolian High School 2003-2004 spring semester were enrolled in the study. The classes were randomly assigned as control and experimental groups. Students in the control group we...
Effectiveness of Argument-Based Inquiry Approach on Grade 8 Students' Science Content Achievement, Metacognition, and Epistemological Beliefs Deprem, Sabahat Tugce Tucel; Çakıroğlu, Jale; Öztekin, Ceren; KINGIR, SEVGİ (2022-07-01) The quasi-experimental, two-group (treatment and comparison), pretest-posttest study of metacognition, epistemological beliefs, and science content achievement explored the effectiveness of argument-based inquiry (ABI) instruction as opposed to traditional teacher-directed lectures and structured activities. Participants included 60 eight-grade students attending two intact classes of a middle school located in an urban area. One class was treated as the treatment group and the other as the comparison group...
EFFECTIVENESS OF CASE-BASED LEARNING INSTRUCTION ON STUDENTS' UNDERSTANDING OF SOLUBILITY EQUILIBRIUM CONCEPTS Cam, Aylin; Geban, Ömer (2013-01-01) This study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of learning activities based on case-based learning over traditionally designed chemistry instruction on eleventh grade students' understanding of solubility equilibrium. The subjects of this study consisted of 63 eleventh grade students from two intact classes of an urban high school instructed with same chemistry teacher. Each teaching method was randomly assigned as control and experimental group. The experimental group received case-based learnin...
