Abstract

The research aims to: determine the effectiveness of the 4H strategy on the achievement of first-year middle school students in physics.


To verify the research objective, the researcher formulated the following null hypothesis: There are no statistically significant differences in physics achievement between the average scores of first-year middle school students in the experimental group taught according to the 4H strategy and the average scores of first-year middle school students in the control group taught according to the traditional method at a significance level of (0.05).


The importance of the research lies in the fact that modern trends in teaching various sciences—and physics in particular—emphasize the need for teachers to use modern strategies that improve students' understanding and comprehension of scientific concepts, develop their ideas, enhance their interaction with changes in the surrounding environment, and keep pace with the major developments in the field of teaching upon which the educational process is based, both inside and outside the school environment.
