The objective of this study was to examine the impact of the network-based 5E instructional model on the academic self-concept of students with mathematical learning disabilities. A quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test pattern was employed, with a control group, and 30 second-grade elementary school students in Borujerd (a city in Iran) were selected using convenience sampling and randomly assigned to two experimental and control groups. The experimental group underwent training utilizing the network-based 5E instructional model over the course of seven 90-minute sessions, with one session occurring each week. The control group received teacher-centered instruction. The data was collected using Raven’s Progressive Matrices (RPM), the Colorado Learning Difficulties Questionnaire (CLDQ), the Iran Key Math Diagnostic Test (IKMDT), and the School Self-Concept Inventory (SSCI). The results of the multivariate analysis of covariance demonstrated a statistically significant difference between the experimental and control groups in the components of academic self-concept (P < 0.001). Furthermore, the participants in the experimental group exhibited higher scores in all components of academic self-concept. The results of this study demonstrated that the network-based 5E instructional model had a significant effect on the academic self-concept of students with mathematical learning disabilities.
