Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of cooperative learning and on academic achievements of sixth grade students attending the classes in which the laboratory experiments in science and technology course. The sample of this study consist of 50 sixth grade students who attended the classes in which the laboratory experiments in science and technology were taught in an elementary school during the 2009-2010 academic year. As the data collection instruments, Laboratory Prelim- inary Achievement Test (LPAT), Laboratory Finally Achievement Test (LFAT), Theory Achievement Tests (TAT), Experiment Achievement Tests (EAT), Laboratory Skills Checklist (LSC) and Method Opinion Scale (MOS) were used. This study is carried out two different groups. One of the groups was selected randomly as the Cooperative Learning Group (CLG) and the second was selected as the Control Group (CG), in which the traditional teaching method was applied. The data obtained on instruments were evaluated by using descriptive statistics, independent samples t test. The results of this study indicated that the teaching of laboratory experiments in science and technology course the cooperative learning was more effective than the traditional teaching method in both increasing academic achievement and the labora- tory skills. Some of the negative ideas about cooperative learning method were iden- tified according to the students in CLG Group.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı, fen ve teknoloji dersinin laboratuar uygulamalarına katılan öğrencilerin, akademik başarılarına ve laboratuar becerileri üzerine işbirlikli öğrenme ve geleneksel öğrenme yönteminin etkisinin belirlenmesidir. Çalışmanın örneklemini, 2009-2010 öğretim yılında MEB’e bağlı bir ilköğretim okulunun altıncı sınıflarında öğrenim gören toplam 50 öğrenci oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak; Laboratuar Ön Başarı Testi (LÖBT), Laboratuar Son Başarı Testi (LSBT), Teori Başarı Testleri (TBT), Deney Başarı Testleri (DBT), Laboratuar Beceri Kontrol Listesi (LBKL) ve Yöntem Görüş Ölçeği (YGÖ) kullanılmıştır. Çalışma, iki farklı sınıfta gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bu sınıflardan; biri, işbirlikli öğrenme yönteminin uygulandığı İşbirlikli Grup (İBG); diğeri ise geleneksel öğretim yönteminin uygulandığı Kontrol Grubu (KG) olarak belirlenmiştir. Verilerin analizi için, tanımlayıcı istatistikler ve bağımsız t testi yapılmıştır. Sonuç olarak, işbirlikli öğrenme yöntemi yle öğretim gören öğrencilerin, geleneksel yöntemle öğretim gören öğrencilere göre hem akademik başarı hem de laboratuar becerileri bakımından daha başarılı oldukları ancak İBG grubundaki öğrenci görüşlerine göre, işbirlikli öğrenme yöntemi hakkında bazı olumsuzlukların olduğu belirlenmiştir.
