Abstract

               The research aimed to recognize the effectiveness of teaching biology using the REACT strategy in developing achievement, genetic problems solving skills, and motivation to learn among first year, secondary school students. The study was conducted on 82 students.  They were divided into two groups; an experimental group and a control group. The tools of the study included: teachers’ manual for teaching the topics of the selected unit using REACT strategy, students’ activities book, an achievement test (focusing on the levels of: understanding,  application, analysis, and synthesis), a test of genetic problems solving skills, and a motivation scale to measure students’ motivation for learning Biology. The results of the study indicated that there is a statistically significant difference at level (0.05) between the means of scores of the experimental group and the control group on the post administration of the achievement test, the test of genetic problems solving, and the scale of motivation for learning Biology in favor of the experimental group. The results have also shown that the the effectiveness of teaching biology using the REACT strategy in developing achievement, genetic problems solving skills, and motivation to learn among first year, secondary school students
