Özet

Öz Effect of webquest method on science teaching was examined in this study as being one of the most important reflections of technology to the education and it was shown that students structured the knowledge in the coordination and enjoying with this method. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of webquest-assisted teaching method for unit “The Structure and Properties of Matter” in the Science and Techonolgy lessons on attitude towards science lesson and retention of knowledge. Semi-experimental pattern with pre-test – post-test group was used in the study. Study group comprised of 30 students as 15-person control group, 15-person experimental group attending to a private school. “Academic Achievement Test of Science and Technology Lesson” and “Scale of Attitude Towards Science” were used in the study as a data collection tool. Data obtained were analyzed by Mann Whitney-U test and Wilcoxon test. At the end of the study, it was seen that web-assisted teaching technique did not affect attitudes of students towards science but had positive effect on level of remembering.
