Design a module integrating problem based learning with fluid intelligence and evaluating its impact on the understanding of mechanical energy and machines

A module was designed and developed that integrates the steps of Problem-based learning ( PBL) fluid intelligence skills (PBL-FI Module), then evaluated its impact on conceptual understanding (CU) mechanical energy machines (MEM) for 6th graders in Jordan. The using ADDIE instructional design model, which included five stages: analysis, design, development, implementation, evaluation. Ten experts verified reliability, content validity, educational usability.To evaluate effect PBL-FI Module understanding, as defined by Wiggins & Mctighe (2002), an inequivalent group quasi-experiment used, sample divided into two groups: experimental, consisted 47 students were taught module; control group, consists 48 traditional method. pre-and post-test applied to measure MEM each study groups.One-way ANCOVA analysis performed compare groups, results showed superiority compared method enhancing CU MEM.
