The Effect of Instructional Design According to Experiential Learning Strategies for the First Intermediate Grade Students in Preparing Information for Science Subject

Abstract

     The aim of the research is to identify the effect of of instructional design according to experiential learning strategies for the first intermediate grade students in preparing information for science subject.To achieve the goal of the research, the researcher adopted the experimental design with partial control, as the research sample consisted of (36) female students from the first intermediate grade, with (18) students in the experimental group who studied according to the instructional design of experiential learning strategies, and (18) students in the control group, which was studied according to the usual method, was made equivalence between the two groups in some variables (age, intelligence, previous information, information processing for science subject). The researcher also prepared the research tool represented in the information processing scale for the science subject, and its psychometric properties were verified. The researcher applied the scale to the two research groups, and the results showed the superiority of the students of the experimental group over the students of the control group in the scale of information processing for the subject of science.
