Abstract

This study aims to compare the eff ects of activity-based instruction and traditional instruction on fifth grade primary school students’ conceptual development of probability. The study was conducted through quasi-experimental method and carried out with 50 5th grade primary school students, 25 for experimental group and 25 for control group. The Conceptual Development Test consisting of 12 open-ended questions was administered to the students in the study before and after the treatment. Data were analyzed using independent samples t-test, and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). It was determined that activity-based instruction was more effective in helping students develop the probability concepts than did traditional one.

Özet

Bu araştırmanın amacı, etkinlik temelli öğretimle geleneksel öğretimin ilköğretim 5. sınıf öğrencilerinin olasılık konusundaki kavramsal gelişimlerine etkisini karşılaştırmaktır. Yarı deneysel yöntemle yürütülen araştırma, 25’i deney ve 25’i kontrol grubu olmak üzere toplam 50 ilköğretim 5. sınıf öğrencisi ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışma grubundaki öğrencilere 12 açık uçlu sorudan oluşan Kavramsal Gelişim Testi deneysel işlem öncesinde ve sonrasında uygulanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde bağımsız örneklem t-Testi ve kovaryans analizi (ANCOVA) kullanılmıştır. Yapılan analizler sonucunda etkinlik temelli öğretimin geleneksel öğretime göre olasılık kavramlarının gelişiminde daha etkili olduğu belirlenmiştir.
