Animation-based 7E Learning Model on Plant and Animal Cells for Grade 7 Learners
Main Article Content
Abstract
One common problem faced in education recently is the students’ low performances in the field of Biology. It is a challenge to both teachers and students to teach and learn some biology concepts especially those at a molecular level. Thus, this study aimed to develop an animation-based 7E lesson, designed to enhance Grade 7 learners’ academic performances towards plant and animal cells. The researcher also developed video animations that introduced the structures and functions of plant and animal cells, fostering students’ curiosity and motivation to explore further. The developed 7E lesson and video animations were anchored on the learning competencies from the Department of Education. Both learning materials went through a series of validations, evaluations, and revisions, considering the comments and suggestions from the thesis adviser, panel members, and experts. The developed animation-based 7E lesson was rated excellent and video animations were rated very satisfactory. This denotes that both were valid and acceptable learning materials. The results of this study also show that the Animation-based 7E Learning Model holds promise for transforming science education by leveraging technology to create engaging and effective learning experiences.
