Abstract

The aim of the research is to identify the effectiveness of using the experiential learning model in teaching science to develop scientific and engineering practices and some social skills among elementary school pupils. Research procedures that are consistent with both the descriptive approach and the experimental approach have been followed by the two groups equal system. The measurement tools were the test of scientific and engineering practices and the measurement of social skills For primary school pupils, the research group was also chosen from the sixth primary class pupils at the Mohamed Anwar Hassan Primary Joint School in Beni Suef Educational Administration for the academic year 2017-2018 and its strength reached (78) pupils and his pupil was divided into two groups, one is experimental and the other is a strength of each of (39) pupils A female student has limited scientific and engineering practices appropriate to students of this stage, as well as social skills, and has reached to diminish each skill commensurate with the nature of these students. Experimental research results revealed that the experiential learning model had a significant, effective and acceptable effect in improving scientific and engineering practices while its effectiveness was weak in improving skills Social group students Experimental despite the emergence of the effect of D due to the model of learning experiences in its development compared to the usual way.
