Abstract

The PEARL model is an interactive demonstration of learning. This model was developed based on need analysis, intervention of the PEAR model, collected field information from interviews and FGDs of participants, and experiences of researchers. Five steps: predict, summon past knowledge, add basic life-related visuals, and apply logic. Participate in an interactive demonstration, reflect on ID results, and learn. Students forecast and hypothesize using prior knowledge. Previous knowledge facilitates collaboration. Scientific principles become more practical when applied to ordinary life. It clarifies complex concepts and how scientific knowledge influences students to involve in demonstrations. This stage improves theory, critical thinking, curiosity, and problem-solving. After the interactive presentation, students reflect on their learning. Students can evaluate their learning, uncover misconceptions, and connect theory and practice, promoting metacognition. ID reflection in the third step requires reviewing the complete learning experience. Students organize and improve by reviewing predictions, knowledge, and learning outcomes. The PEARL model improves student retention, critical thinking, and engagement. The PEARL model includes prediction, previous knowledge activation, real-life illustrations, interactive demonstrations, and reflection. Thus this model should be used this framework in science classes.
