Abstract

The research aims at examining the effectiveness of teaching science through  phenomena based education in developing scientific concepts, model design skills and mindfulness of hearing- impaired ninth grade students . Thus, “Light Reflection” and “ Light Refraction” units of the ninth grade science curriculum  for the academic year 2020/2021 were  taught via  phenomena based education. To achieve the study purpose the two groups experimental method was adopted. The sample consisted of (11) students; six of which composed the control group and five composed the experimental group, that were taught through phenomena-based education. The research tools were applied which included: scientific concepts’ test, an observation sheet for model design skills and mindfulness scale. The post and pre results were statistically processed using Mann Whitney and Wilcoxon ranks test, and the double correlation coefficient for the ranks of related couples. and the coefficient of double correlation for ranks, The study results proved the effectiveness of teaching science through phenomena based education in developing: scientific concepts, model design skills and mindfulness. The study offers several recommendations and suggestions for further research in the light of its results.
