Abstract
There have been many attempts to address the deficits in traditional teaching methods for decades Multiple studies have been done on the Common Knowledge Construction Model (CKCM) and the results of each study has shown an improvement. The addition of relational conceptual change has added much needed improvement in teaching science. This study, conducted at a an elementary school, suggests that using CKCM and relational conceptual change is the best method for engaging students participation in their own learning, through the use of descriptive categories that will provide the type of nurture necessary in changing student’s behavior that will result in the anticipated behavior expected in science classroom. The idea of nurture is to pay attention to the individual differences that have been overlooked in our educational system. The result of the study shows significant improvement in the students’ achievement.
