Abstract

The aim of this research is to reveal the effect of the two Blending types (Flow/Core and Spoke) in the blended learning environment on the development of scientific, and to reach this goal, The researcher did the following; identifying a list of scientific concepts, Defining two strategies for the two Blending types, Identifying The criteria of designing for the two Blending types , and developing the two Blending types according to, Elgazzar instructional design model (2014). To achieve this goal, the researcher prepared an achievement test to measure the development of scientific concepts.The research followed the developmental research, which is based on the Systems Development Method, which is the integration of three consecutive Methods to the research (Elgazzar, 2014), namely: The descriptive and analytical research method, to answer the first and second sub-questions of the research questions. The Systems Development Method, to answer the third sub-question of the research questions, and the experimental research method, to answer the fourth sub-question of the research questions.The researcher used the Semi-experimental design for 2 experimental groups with the pre and post measurement, and the research sample reached (40) students from the fourth grade of primary school, who were divided into 2 groups randomly according to Blending types (Flow/Core and Spoke), and the results showed a basic effect of the two Blending types (Flow/Core and Spoke)in the blended learning environment on the post application of the achievement test to measure the development of scientific concepts, in favor of the Core and Spoke blending type
