Abstract

This study aimed at investigating the effect of using constructivist learning model on formation of the conceptual structure in chemistry among 12th grader students in the United Arab Emirates. To achieve the goal of the study, the following queatyion was asked: What is the effect of using constructivist learning model on the formation of the conceptual structure in chemistry among 12th grader students? The sample was consisted of (54) 12th grader male students distributed into two sections, one section was assigned as an experimental group, and the other section was designed as control group. The results of the study was analyzed using T-Test of independent samples to compare the means of post conceptual structure exam. The result shows that there is a significant difference at the level (α ≥ 0.05) between the mean scores in the formation of the conceptual structure test who studied chemistry using constructivist learning model compared to students who studied chemistry using the traditional method in favor of the experimental groups. Based on the study results, the study recommends the necessity of training science teachers to develop their educational practices in a way that agree with constructivist learning model and use this model to improve students' conceptual structure.
