Acquisition of Integrated Science Process Skills through 7E Learning Instructional Model in Relation to Science Self Efficacy: A Budding Paradigm Shift

The main purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of 7E learning instructional model on ninth grade students? integrated science process skills in relation to science self-efficacy. Data was collected using science self-efficacy scale and integrated science process skills test. The sample comprised of 120 secondary school students studying in government schools of Shaheed Bhagat Singh Nagar district, Punjab, India. The findings revealed that significant difference was found out between the experimental group and the control group in terms of mean gain scores of integrated science process skills for high, moderate and low science self-efficacy groups. Students in different levels of science self-efficacy of experimental group were positively affected by 7E learning model based teaching strategy but, it is the high science self-efficacy group students who got benefitted to the greatest extent with 7E learning model based instruction.
