Abstract

The study aimed at uncovering the effect of the previous and acquired knowledge strategies (kwl), and maps of the mind in acquiring the scientific concepts in the sixth elementary students in Jordan. To achieve the objective of the study, the researcher designed a test to measure the scientific concepts. (30) students according to the previous knowledge strategy (KWL), and studied the second group of 30 students according to the strategy of mind maps, and studied the control group consisting of (30) students in the usual way, and The results of the ANCOVA analysis showed that there was a statistically significant difference between (00.05) between the groups due to the previous and acquired knowledge strategy (k.wl), brain maps in acquiring scientific concepts, and for the benefit of the experimental groups , Which indicates the effectiveness of employing the previous and acquired knowledge strategies, and maps of the mind in acquiring scientific concepts. The study recommended the use of previous and acquired knowledge strategies, maps of the mind in teaching science, and conducting other similar studies in different educational stages.
