Abstract
This research aims to identify the effectiveness of Gibbs Model in acquiring Islamic concepts among fifth-grade scientific students and developing their predictive thinking. To achieve the research objectives, the researcher used a quasi-experimental approach with partial control. The research sample consisted of 70 students in Al-Alam district affiliated with Salah al-Din Education Directorate. The experimental group consisted of 36 students who studied according to Gibbs model steps, while the control group consisted of 34 students who studied using the traditional method.
The researcher prepared two tools: the first was a test for acquiring Islamic concepts consisting of 42 multiple-choice items, and the second was a predictive thinking test consisting of 32 items with five alternatives. The results showed the superiority of the experimental group over the control group in both the Islamic concepts acquisition test and the predictive thinking test.
