Abstract
The purposes of this research were to compare scientific concepts and constructing scientific model ability of 12th grade students after using model-based learning with traditional instruction and to compare scientific concepts and constructing scientific model ability before and after using model-based learning. The sample were two classrooms of twelfth grade students from High School in Chonburi. The research instruments consisted of model-based learning lesson plans, traditional instruction lesson plans, scientific concepts test and constructing scientific model ability test. The data were analyzed by mean, standard deviation, t-test for dependent sample, and t-test for independent sample. The results of this study indicated that:
1. The scientific concepts and constructing scientific model ability of students after using Model-Based Learning technique were higher than the traditional instruction at the .05 level of significance.
2. The post-test of scientific concepts and constructing scientific model ability of students after using Model-based learning technique were higher than the pretest using the same method at the .05 level of significance.
