TI  - The Effectiveness of the 4MAT Teaching Approach in Enhancing Conceptions of Electricity in Physics for Female Students in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
AB  - This study sought to examine the impacts of the application of the McCarthy Model (4MAT) teaching approach in enhancing seventh-grade female students’ conceptions of electricityin physics. The study sample comprised a total of 41 female students,who were selectedfrom two schools located in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s city of Aljouf. The sample was divided into two groups, comprising 20 and 21 students in the experimental and control groups, respectively. The students in the experimental group were taught the science content through the 4MAT teaching approach, while students inthe control groupwere taught with a more traditional approach of teaching. In order to attain the study objectives, two different study tools were designed, a teacher guide centered on the 4MAT teaching approach and a knowledge test concerning the physics conceptions of electricity. The findings showed thatstatistically significant differences were observed in enhancing the conceptions of electricityin physicsbetween the experimental group and the control group, with students in the experimental group found to perform better than students in the control group.
