Effectiveness of 5E Learning Cycle Model of Constructivist Approach on Ninth-Grade Students’ Understanding of Suspensions

Dr. Uzma Siddiqui

Abstract :

 This paper investigated the effects of teaching one of the most fundamental concepts of Chemistry ‘Suspensions’ using Traditional Instruction (TI) and 5E Learning Cycle Model of Constructivist Approach (LCMCA) on students’ achievement in Chemistry. A total of 60 ninth-grade students participated in this pretest-posttest control group quasi-experimental study. Control Group (n = 30) was taught by TI, whereas the two Experimental Groups EG (n = 30) was subjected to LCMCA. An analysis of covariance on Chemistry achievement posttest scores with students’ pretest scores as the covariate showed that LCMCA was more effective in enhancing the students’ achievement in Chemistry than TI. It is, therefore, suggested 5E model is a good method of teaching Chemistry
