Developing an Instructional Material Using a Concept Cartoon Adapted to the 5E Model: A Sample of Teaching Erosion

Using different instructional materials adapted within the constructivist learning theory will enhance students’ conceptual understanding. From this point of view, an instructional instrument using a concept cartoon adapted with 5E model has developed and introduced in this study. The study has some deficiencies in Asia-Pacific Forum on Science Learning and Teaching, Volume 11, Issue 1, Article 19, p.2 (June, 2010) Salih BIRISÇI and Mustafa METIN Developing an instructional material using a concept cartoon adapted to the 5E model: A sample of teaching erosion Copyright (C) 2010 HKIEd APFSLT.
