During the past few decades, modern educational approaches have highly emphasized the need to revolutionize the way in which we think about education.

摘要

During the past few decades, modern educational approaches have highly emphasized the need to revolutionize the way in which we think about education. There has been a great deal of emphasis placed on the ability of students to learn more independently and retain information more effectively. Based on the innovative instructional approaches of scaffolding and guided discovery, the study described within this chapter has developed the Scaffolding Strategies and Guided Discovery-Higher Order Thinking Skills module (SSnGD-HOTS) to test whether it would improve the performance of Physics students at technical and vocational colleges in Saudi Arabia. The module was developed using the informing theories of Constructivism, Zone of Proximal Development, and the 5Es model. These helped to boost the chosen design approaches of scaffolding and guided discovery. Additionally, new educational technologies were employed in both the development and deployment of the module, ensuring that digital tools were fully integrated to enhance the learning experience. Moreover, the Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation (ADDIE) model was also used. Its systematic and carefully constructed structure is key for creating modules that enhance the potential for teaching and learning at a more conscious and participatory level. Throughout this process, advanced technology supported the implementation and monitoring of the module's effectiveness. At the end of this process, it was observed that students who were taught physics through the SSnGD-HOTS module performed significantly better than those taught by conventional methods.
