 ABSTRACT

The research aimed to identify the effectiveness of using the Think-Pair-Share strategy in acquiring chemical concepts by Soran University students in the subject of chemistry. The researcher used the equally groups design, an experimental group studied according to the Think-Pair-Share strategy and a control group according to the Usual method. The population of the research are students in the second class at the General Science department, for the academic year (2020-2021), the research sample included (62) students divided into two groups, the experimental group, included (33) students, and the controlled group, included (29) students. The researcher prepared a test to acquire chemical concepts included (45) items of Multiple Choice. The results have shown that using the Think-Pair-Share Strategy in teaching the chemistry subject has a positive impact on increasing students acquiring chemical concepts the researcher recommended the importance of using the Think-Pair-Share, also procedures for some further future studies have been suggested.

KEYWORDS: THINK-PAIR-SHARE, STRATEGY, CHEMICAL CONCEPTS, TEACHING CHEMISTRY.
