| Summary, etc. | Meaningful learning rather than rote learning is the aim of science teaching. Ac cording to Ausubel (1963) when students learn science meaningfully, they retain information longer, develop positive attitudes toward science, and become life l ong learners. Science educators have tried to develop techniques that improve th e quality of science instruction that help students learn meaningfully. One of t hese techniques that helps students learn meaningfully rather than by rote is th e Vee Heuristic which can be used as an instructional tool to enhance meaningful learning in science. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of Vee Heuristic s in helping students' to learn physics concepts meaningfully. The study is guid ed by the following research questions:(1) Does the use of Vee Heuristic in phys ics labs in contrast to using the traditional verification labs enhance students ' meaningful learning of the target physics concepts? (2) Does the use of the Ve e Heuristic enhance students' attitude toward physics and physics laboratories? (3) Are there gender differences in attitude and achievement between students us ing the Vee Heuristic in physics labs and those who use traditional verification -type labs? Participants in this study were secondary school students enrolled in two secti ons of a laboratory-based grade ten physics course, an experimental and a contro l group. Five instruments were used in the study: Two attitude questionnaires, a physics achievement test designed to measure meaningful learning in physics, a Vee Scoring Key, and an Individual Interviews. The treatment was administered ov er a one term period. Using the Vee Heuristic in physics laboratories in contrast to traditional verif ication laboratories did not enhance students' meaningful learning of the target physics concepts. Students' attitudes toward physics and physics laboratory fo r the experimental group were consistently high before and after the laboratory while those attitudes became less positive for students in the control group aft er the study. In addition, the study showed no gender differences regarding achi evement and attitudes towards physics laboratory while males had more positive a ttitudes toward physics than females as a result of being involved in the Vee He uristic laboratory. |
