Implication

Quasi-experimental study demonstrates improved electrical circuit comprehension in secondary school students using structured embodied analogies, highlighting their value for science education.

Key Points

To investigate the effect of an educational analogy grounded in a structured, embodied, and associative framework on secondary school students' conceptual understanding of electrical circuits.
Conducted a mixed-methods quasi-experimental study among secondary school students in Morocco.
Evaluated quantitative pre- and post-intervention conceptual assessment scores alongside qualitative feedback from student and teacher questionnaires.
Students exposed to the structured embodied analogy achieved statistically significantly higher post-test conceptual understanding scores compared to the comparison group.
Qualitative analysis revealed positive participant-reported perceptions from both students and teachers regarding the analogical instructional framework.
