The aim of the research is to identify the effectiveness of the educational pillars strategy based on Vygotsky's theory in mathematical achievement and information processing of first-grade intermediate students. In pursuit of the research objectives, the experimental method was used, and the quasi-experimental design was used for two equivalent groups, one control group taught traditionally and the other experi-mental taught according to the educational pillars strategy. The research sample consisted of (66) female students from the first intermediate grade, who were inten-tionally chosen after ensuring their equivalence, taking into account several factors, most notably chronological age and their level of mathematics, and they were dis-tributed equally into two groups, one experimental and the other control. The re-search tools were represented in the teacher's handbook for the application of the educational pillars strategy, the achievement test in mathematics, and the test of information processing skills. The researchers applied the experiment in the first semester of the (2019/2020) academic year. One of the researchers taught the ex-perimental group by applying the educational pillars strategy, while the control group studied according to the usual method. The mathematical achievement test and the data processing skill test were applied to the experimental and control re-search groups, and then the data necessary for statistical analysis and access to results were obtained. The results showed that there were statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the two groups and control groups in the mathematical achievement test. There were also statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the two groups on the test of the skill of information processing, and the size of the effect was calculated by describing a function of the effectiveness of the strategy on the two independent variables (mathematics achievement, information processing), as it became clear that the educational pillars strategy based on Vygotsky's theory has great effectiveness. On mathematics achievement and on developing students' information processing skills

The experimental group was subjected to the use of 7Es Learning Model for teaching environmental science while the control group was taught with the Traditional Approach.The participants of the study were 38, 7th graders from each group. The experimental and the control groups of participants were given pre-test, underwent different treatments and were given the post-test. Three weeks, later the same post – test was re-administered to assess the retention level of the participants. The instrument used in the study were the Lesson plan, and Teacher-made Achievement Test. The instruments were validated by the pool of experts and were rated very good.Resultsshows that there is no significant difference between the posttest scores of the experimental and control groups. It also revealed that there is a significant difference between the posttest and pretest mean scores of the experimental and control groups while retention of previously gained concept in science was significant in the lag test scores of the experimental group. Analysis of Test Items and Lesson plans (7Es Instructional Model) shows that the category Explore, Explain, Elaborate and Extends promote high scores in the Science Achievement Test. Thus, teachers may use the 7Es instructional Model in making Daily Lesson Plan in teaching science subjects to improve the achievement and enhance retention of previously gained concepts of students.
