Impact of the Elicit, Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, Evaluate, and Extend (7E) Learning Model on Senior Secondary School Students’ Mathematics Achievement
Abstract
This study investigated the effect of the Elicit, Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, Evaluate, and Extend (7E) instructional model on the academic achievement of senior secondary school students in mathematics in Ijebu Ode, Ogun State, Nigeria. A pre- and post-test quasi-experimental design was adopted, guided by two research questions and two null hypotheses. The sample comprised 107 students from two mathematics classes, purposively selected from two public secondary schools, with 52 assigned to the experimental group (7E model) and 55 to the control group (discussion method). Data were collected using a 50-item mathematics achievement test, with a reliability coefficient of 0.87 (Kuder-Richardson 20). Descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and independent sample t-tests at the 0.05 significance level were used for analysis. Results revealed a significant improvement in mathematics achievement for students taught using the 7E model compared to those taught using the discussion method. However, no significant gender difference was found in achievement among students exposed to the 7E model. It is recommended that mathematics teachers adopt the 7E instructional model to enhance learning outcomes.
