The Effects of Science Teaching Using ARCS Strategies on Elementary Pupils' Learning Motivation and Academic Achievement -Focused on the electric circuit unit in the 5th grade science textbook-

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of science teaching using ARCS strategies on elementary pupils' teaming motivation and academic achievement. For this purpose, 67 children of 2 classes in the 5th grade of an elementary school were involved, and each class was assigned to experimental and comparison group. The experimental group, consisting of 33 children, were applied with the teaching method using ARCS strategies, while the comparison group, 34 children, were applied with traditional-type teaching method. The instruction effects were analyzed through pre/post-test's results using the questionnaires of loaming motivation and academic achievement. The results of this study are summarized as follows. After science lessons, it was found that the teaching method using ARCS strategies was more effective in improving learners' motives of teaming science and academic achievements than traditional instructions. And the instruction using ARCS strategies was effective to the children who were in low and middle level in academic achievement compared to those in high level.
