Özet:

This study aimed to investigate the effect of the Schwartz's model on chemical concepts acquisition, improving creative thinking skills, and learning transfer of the ninth grade students. Participant of the study consisted of (64) ninth grade students from the Directorate in Amman, academic year (2018/2019), and they were divided randomly into experimental and control group. To achieve the objectives of the study, a teacher's guide for the electrochemistry unit was prepared using the chemistry curriculum for the ninth grade. Furthermore, creative thinking skills and chemical concepts were combined according to the Schwartz's model, and the chemical concept test was prepared in the form of a multiple choice test and test learning effect transfer. Also, the Torrance Test of Creative Thinking was prepared. Data were analyzed using ANCOVA, ANOVA and results showed the effectiveness of the Schwartz's model of chemical concepts, improvement in creative thinking skills, and transference of learning effect in favor of the experimental group students, and statistically significant difference was seen (α = 0.05) between the average performance of the study sample and in favor of the experimental group students. In light of the results, the study recommended the need for science students to use the Schwartz's model in teaching.
