The Effectiveness of DSLM Model on Applied Scientific Fifth Graders’ Skilled Thinking and Achievement in Physics

Abstract

    This paper aims at exploring how the DSLM model affects applied scientific fifth graders’ achievement and skilled thinking in physics education. To realize this end, experimental research design was followed where there are two dependent variables (achievement, skilled thinking) and an independent variable (DSLM model). This research design was chosen in order to control the test variables. After setting aims, purpose, data, and methodology, the research applied the proposed model on the subjects. The findings show that experimental group achieved higher rates than the controlling group. The paper finally sets a few recommendations, suggestions for further research
