The aims of this study were to investigate the effects of drama based instruction on seventh grade students̕ achievement on geometry (angles and polygons; circle and cylinder), retention of achievement, van Hiele geometric thinking level, attitudes toward mathematics and attitudes toward geometry compared to the traditional teaching; to get the students̕ views related to the effects of drama based instruction on their learning, friendship relations, awareness of themselves, and the role of teacher and students; and to get the view of teacher who was present in the classroom during the treatment on drama based instruction. The study was conducted on three seventh grade classes from a public school in the 2002-2003 academic year, lasting 30 lesson hours (seven and a half week). v The data were collected through angles and polygons; and circle and cylinder achievement tests, the van Hiele geometric thinking level test, mathematics and geometry attitude scale, and interviews. The quantitative analyses were carried out by using two multivariate covariance analyses. The results revealed that drama based instruction had a significant effect on students̕ angles and polygons achievement, circle and cylinder achievement, retention of these achievement, van Hiele geometric thinking level, mathematics attitude, and geometry attitude compared to the traditional teaching. According to the interview responses of the experimental group students and the classroom teacher, significantly better performance of the experimental group students was attributable to the potential of the drama based instruction to make learning easy and understanding better by; supporting active involvement, creating collaborative studying environment, giving chance to improvise daily life examples, giving opportunity to communicate, providing meaningful learning, supporting long-lasting learning and providing

A comparision of drama-based learning and cooperative learning with respect to seventh grade students’ achievement, attitudes and thinking levels in geometry
Kale, Neslihan; Ubuz, Behiye; Department of Educational Sciences (2007)
This study aimed to determine the effects of drama based learning on seventh grade students’ achievement (angles and polygons, circle and cylinder), attitudes and thinking levels in geometry compared to the cooperative learning. The study was conducted on four seventh grade classes from two public elementary schools in the same district in the 2006-2007 academic year, lasting seven and a half week (30 lesson hours). The data were collected through angles and polygons (APA); and circle and cylinder achieveme...
The effect of dynamic geometry use together with open-ended explorations in sixth grade students’ performances in polygons and similarity and congruency of polygons /
Aydoğan, Arzu; Erbaş, Ayhan Kürşat; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2007)
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of using a dynamic geometry environment together with open-ended explorations on sixth grade students’ performance in polygons and congruency and similarity of polygons. Two groups of sixth grade students were selected for this study: (1) An experimental group composed of 66 students whom 34 were boys and 32 were girls; and (2) a control group composed of 68 students whom 35 were boys and 33 were girls. While the students in the control group received ins...
The effect of instruction with concrete models on eighth grade students' probability achievement and attitudes toward probability
Yağcı, Fatmagül; Bulut, Safure; Department of Elementary Science and Mathematics Education (2010)
The main purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of instruction with concrete models on eighth grade students’ probability achievement and attitudes toward probability. Another aim was to examine students’ views about instruction with concrete models. The study was conducted in a private school in a big city in Central Anatolia Region with 12 eighth grade students. Both quantitative and qualitative research designs were used. The treatment was applied by the mathematics teacher for 4 hours per we...
The effect of inquiry-based explorations in a dynamic geometry environment on sixth grade students' achievements in polygons
Erbaş, Ayhan Kürşat (Elsevier BV, 2011-12-01)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of using a dynamic geometry environment (DGE) together with inquiry-based explorations on the sixth grade students' achievements in polygons and congruency and similarity of polygons. Two groups of sixth grade students were selected for this study: an experimental group composed of 66 students (34 boys and 32 girls); and a control group composed of 68 students (35 boys and 33 girls). The students in the experimental group taught with a DGE, while the ...
The effect on instruction with concrete models on eighth grade students' geometry achievement and attitudes toward geometry
Bayram, Sibel; Bulut, Safure; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2004)
The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of concrete models on eighth grade students̕ geometry achievement and attitudes toward geometry. The study was conducted on 106 eighth grade students in one of the private school in Ankara. The subjects of the study received instruction with concrete models, and by the traditional method. Cooperative learning method and discovery learning method were also used to provide better classroom environment and to create exciting classroom atmosphere for the u...
