Abstract

AbstractThe research aimed at exploring the " Effect Of Wheatley's Model On Acquiring Biological Concepts Of Second Intermediate Grade Female Students And Developing Their Scientific Exploration " The sample consisted of (84) female students of Amena bint Wahab for girls , they are divided randomly in two groups and one of them is chosen randomly to represent the experimental group which includes(43) female students who study according to the wheatley model, the second group represent the criterion group which includes(41) female students who study according to the common method.The two groups are equal in certain variables(female student s age counted by months, marks obtained in Biology subject of the first class, female student's average of the first class, intelligence outcome, scientific exploration mark of the pre- test).The researcher confines the scientific material of the four chapters namely second, third, fourth and fifth) of the Biology text book of the second intermediate class during the academic year (2012- 2013) , the researcher coined behavioral aims of the four chapters: (104) aims and detected(15) concepts for the preparation of test of acquiring Biology concepts. Also, the researcher prepared(18) plans for the experimental group and (18) plans for the criterion group. As for the tools of the research, she prepared two tools: the test of acquiring Biology concepts which contains(45) items of the identification type and subjective multiple-test, the second tool is the scientific exploration scale which contains(37) items, and each item has(3) alternatives whose degrees are( bigger, intermediate, and little). The results of the study of the two samples in the( T-test) of the indepent samples and the( T- test) for the two correlated samples, show the followhng: 1- The pupils of the experimental group who study according to the wheatley model are superior to the pupils of the criterion group who study according to the common method in the test of acquiring Biology concepts. 2- The pupils of the experimental group who study according to the wheatley model are superior to the pupils of the criterion group who study according to the common method in the scientific curiosity scale.3- The presence of a statistical significant difference between the average marks of female student s scientific pre and post test of the scientific exploration of the experimental group and in favor of the post test. 4- There is no statistical significant difference between the averages of the marks of female students scientific pre and post tests of the scientific exploration of the criterion group.In the light of results obtained the researcher reached a number of conclusions, recommendations, and suggestion.
