Abstract

The aim of the present study was to determine the effectiveness of education based on the Bybee (5E) instructional design model on students' academic competence and academic flow. The research method was quasi-experimental (semi-experimental) with pre-test-post-test design. The statistical population of the study consisted of 100 high school male students in the second year of Mako in the academic year of 2009-2010, of which 30 were selected by multi-stage cluster sampling. DiPerna and Elliott's (1999) Academic Competency Assessment Scale (ACES) and Martin and Jackson's (2008) Short Form Fascination Scale (FSS) were used to collect data. The experimental group was trained in 7 sessions using the five-step teaching method of Bybee and the control group was taught in the traditional way. Data were analyzed by multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) in SPSS software. The results showed that teaching based on the five-step teaching model of Bayby has a positive effect on improving the academic competence (Eta of 26.5%) and academic flow (Eta of 33.1%). Overall, the results of this study showed the superiority of teaching based on the five-step teaching model of Bybee (5E) in increasing students' academic competence and academic flow compared to the traditional method.
