Abstract
Background: Many students believe that Physics' teaching is an abstraction that is difficult to learn. Therefore, this is necessary for learners' utmost good faith to their ability to solve problems in Physics. Objective: This study aims to probe the effectiveness of searching model on students' self-esteem beliefs in solving Physics problems. Method: This study is quasi-experimental design of pretest-posttest with two control groups. The statistic society includes all the basic high school male students of Fariman town in Khorasan Razavi province, in the academic of year 2011-2012. Results: Paired t-test results on the effectiveness of the pattern on the search showed that the rate of self-efficacy scores between the pretest and posttest in experimental group is significantly different from (t= -4.44, p<0/001), so knowledge of self-efficacy scores of experimental group and the other components of the test scores were higher in pre-test. Conclusion: Given the above findings, we conclude that the search pattern, self-esteem of students in their ability to solve problems in Physics teaching, was increased. Therefore, employing this model in teaching high school students is recommended
