Impact of 7E Model on Students' Academic Achievement: A Comprehensive Analysis in Educational Settings

Abstract

The 7E model of instruction, encompassing “Elicit, Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, Evaluate, and Extend”, has emerged as a prominent framework for promoting active learning and student-centered instruction in educational settings. This study aimed at comprehensively analyzing the impact of the 7E model on students' academic achievement across diverse educational contexts. In order to evaluate how well the 7E model improves students' academic performance, cognitive abilities, and affective outcomes, quantitative data will be analyzed. The research was conducted using a quasi-experimental design as the methodology. The study involved 10th grade students learning “physics” at public high and higher secondary schools in the Sargodha district. A strategy that involved many stages of sampling was used to choose a representative sample. Two secondary schools were selected with ease in the first round in Sargodha City, out of 11 girls’ schools and 15 boys’ schools. For the second phase, two classrooms of the 10th grade from each school were chosen at random. Two control groups and two experimental groups were created at random. The instrument was utilized as a pre-test and post-test i.e., Achievement Test in Physics (ATP). The reliability of the research instrument was evaluated using Cronbach's Alpha, and it was found to be reliable. For the analyzing data, independent samples t-test, and ANOVA were used. Additionally, the study will explore the applicability of the 7E instructional model across various subject areas and investigate factors influencing successful implementation, such as teacher training, classroom environment, and institutional support structures. By offering comprehensive insights into the impact of the 7E instructional model on students' academic performance, this research aims to inform educators, policymakers, and educational stakeholders in their efforts to promote effective teaching and learning practices that foster student success and engagement in educational settings.
