Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a suggested model RW based on constructivism on the reflective thinking of the secondary school students in Gaza. The sample consisted of (87) female students in two groups; control 43 and experimental 44. The researchers used experimental design of two randomly chosen groups with the same pre and post tests for each. Different statistical tests included in the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) were used to analyze the data collected while answering the study questions and testing the hypotheses. The results showed that there were statistically significant differences at (α ≤ 0.05) between Experimental group and Control group in relation to the reflective thinking in favor of Experimental group. Also, the effect size of using the model based on constructivism was significantly large on students' reflective thinking. The researchers strongly recommended training teachers to design models based on constructivism to enhance students thinking in general and particularly reflective thinking. Also, to carry out further research on the effect of using constructivism models in education and probable ways to enhance thinking skills of the secondary school studentsزrevise the last sentence

Highlights

  • The current century witnesses very rapid and continuous development worldwide in which has a very dynamic and crucial effect on societies

  • The current study examines some of reflective thinking skills including; inference, assumption, deduction, interpreting information and argument. 1.9.3 Suggested model

  • Out of table (6 ), it can be seen that the analysis of the findings indicates that there were no statistically significant differences between the experimental and the control groups at the significance level (α ≤ 0.05). 3.6 Statistical Methods The data of the study was statistically computed using the statistical packager for social sciences (SPSS)

Summary

Introduction

The current century witnesses very rapid and continuous development worldwide in which has a very dynamic and crucial effect on societies These societies tend to spend time, effort, and money in order to update their educational systems to produce efficient learners who are capable of competing in this world. They try hard to adopt the most effective strategies in teaching and learning. What Palestine needs now is a generation of high-qualified, competent, and skillful learners who can compete worldwide These learners are expected to solve the problems they face using high order thinking skills as well as their communication skills. There is a need for producing such learners nowadays in order to solve the problems they face and overcome the obstacles on the way
