Mastering Science Through the 7E's Instructional Cycle

Rina Bonaventura presents her action research on the 7E's Instructional Cycle to improve Grade 10 students' academic performance in Science at Rosario National High School. The study highlights the importance of Physics and the challenges students face in understanding it. The research employs a quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test groups to evaluate the effectiveness of the 7E's model. The findings indicate significant improvements in students' performance when using the 7E's model compared to traditional methods. The study concludes that the 7E's Instructional Cycle, when implemented correctly, enhances cognitive learning in line with Bloom's revised taxonomy.
