Abstract
Scientific modeling has been necessary for learning, which can encourage students’ conceptual understanding through four steps consist of construction, evaluation, revision and using a model for prediction or explanation phenomenon. The purpose of this research was to investigate students’ scientific modeling by using model-centered instruction sequence (MCIS) of evaporation. Participants were 16 grade 10 students who studied at a public high school in Khon Kaen province. Data was collected during the instruction of evaporation and analyzed as a percentage. The research findings were summarized as follows. The construction and the evaluation of model were rated at average level (43.75%). The revision of model was rated at excellent level (50.00%) and the using of model for prediction was rated at good level (50.00%). The revision and the using of model are very important for scientific modeling therefore, model-centered instruction sequence (MCIS) is suitable for science instruction.
