The teaching of physics with the use of an appropriate teaching strategy can improve students{\textquoteright} achievement. The aim of this research is to examine the effect of the modified Know-Want-Learn (mKWL) strategy on primary school students{\textquoteright} achievement in physics. The Know-Want-Learn (KWL) strategy was modified to be used for students{\textquoteright} inquiry. Quasi experimental research was carried out with 110 sixth-grade students divided into an experimental and a control group. The students in the control group were taught using direct teaching and the students in the experimental group were taught using TQHL charts. These charts consist of columns: T-What I Think and what I know, Q-What Questions I have, H-How can I find out, L-What I Learned. Pre-test and post-test were administered to both groups; two physics knowledge tests were constructed for that purpose. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, paired samples t-tests and independent samples t-tests. The implication of the research results is that using the mKWL strategy in a sixth-grade physics class has a positive effect on students{\textquoteright} achievement. It can be suggested to implement the described strategy in teaching physics in order to improve students{\textquoteright} achievement in this subject.}, keywords = {KWL strategy, learning strategy, modified KWL strategy, students{\textquoteright} performance}, issn = {1648-3898}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.33225/jbse/17.16.946}, url = {http://oaji.net/articles/2017/987-1513971179.pdf}, author = {Zekri A.
