Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of using V-Shape strategy on
scientific achievement of the fifth grade students .
The sample of study consists of (68) female students of the 5th grade from Al-Sadaqa
Al-Felastenya Al-Koreya School from the Directorate of Education/ Jenin .This sample
studies the unit of 'energy' of the 5th science text book into two groups (experimental,
control).
(ANCOVA) shows a presence of a statistically significant difference at (α=0.05)
between the means of the grades of the students on the scientific achievement test, which
was applied after experimental treatment, by 5th grade students in favour of experimental
group. There is, however, no statistically significant difference due to the interaction
between teaching method and learning style.
In addition, the data from the interview show that 5th grade students have positive
trends toward using V-Shape strategy in learning.
Based on these findings, the study suggests the following recommendations: First,
the importance of using V-Shape strategy in teaching science, which has a great role in
improving the educational achievement of students and its harmony with different
learning styles and students' positive trends toward using it in learning. Second, the
importance of training science teachers on the strategy and how they apply it in teaching
science. Finally, the strategy recommended carrying out other studies in other subjects,
classes and variables.
