The Effectiveness of 5E’S Learning Cycle Strategy in Developing Problem-Solving Skills for Learning Science Subject Among Third Grade Students

Abstract

The current study aimed at identifying the effectiveness of 5E’S learning cycle strategy in developing problem-solving skills for learning science subject among third grade students. In order to achieve the objectives of the current study, the researchers have developed a test to measure problem-solving skills in science among third grade students. The semi-experimental approach was adopted, as the study sample consisted of (38) students in Amman, with (20) students representing the experimental group, and (18) students representing the control group. The experimental group studied according to the 5E’S learning cycle strategy, and the control group studied according to the regular strategy. The results revealed that there were differences between the experimental group and the control group in the solving problems skills in science attributed to the teaching strategy in favor of the experimental group.
