Effects of 7E Learning Model on Science Learning in the Philippine Context: A Scoping Review

Abstract

The use of 7E instructional strategy in teaching science has been done by several teacher-practitioners globally. However, a review of the available literature on the effects of the learning model in learning science has not been fully explored, specifically in the Philippines. This study utilized a scoping review to determine the effects of 7E learning model on science learning in the Philippine context. A total of 10 published articles that satisfied the inclusion and exclusion criteria were used in the analysis. To provide an overview of the findings, a qualitative summary of the results was created. Results revealed that the 7E learning model has positive effects on science learning. The 7E instructional strategy can enhance the students’ conceptual knowledge and understanding in science, develops their science process skills, sustains their high-order thinking skills, improves their performance and academic achievement, strengthens their self-efficacy, arouses their interest, and motivates them to engage in science lessons, advances environmental stewardship, reduces misconceptions, and can serve as an effective instructional model in virtual science learning. This paper offers several pedagogical implications discussed in the paper.
