Development of 7E model lesson on earth systems: a lesson study

Abstract

The study aimed to develop a 7E model lesson on Earth Systems and implement it through the lesson study approach. The developed lesson was based on the standards provided by the Department of Education in the K to 12 Basic Education Curriculum Senior High School where it underwent a series of validation, revision and evaluation for further improvement prior to its implementation. The study tested the effects of the developed 7E model lesson on the conceptual understanding of the respondents. The developed 7E model lesson was implemented through lesson study approach to the three class sections of Grade 11 STEM of Iligan City National High School, School Year 2017-2018. Achievement test was conducted to the respondents. The result of the study shows that respondents exposed to the developed 7E model lesson had significant higher test scores in the post-test as compared to the pre-test. Result implies that there is a positive significant impact of the 7E model lesson on the conceptual understanding of the respondents on Earth Systems.
