The goal of this research is to investigate whether there is a significant difference between
constructivist approaches based instruction (CABI) and traditionally designed science instruction on
Preservice Teacher 3rd grade students’ understanding of concept with the “Electric” unit and attitudes
toward science. Two classes, each with 60 students were randomly selected. The experimental group
was instructed though CABI strategies, whereas the control group was utilized with traditional
methods. The measurement instruments utilized were Physics Achievement Test. As a result of this
study it was found out that CAB, when compared to the traditional learning method, created positive
effects on students’ success science as a school subject.
