The purpose of the study was to investigate the impact of 5E learning cycle on sixth grade students’ mathematics achievement on and attitudes toward mathematics. The study was carried out in a public school in one of the towns of the Central Anatolia Region with 28 sixth-grade elementary school students. One group pretest-posttest design was used. Mathematics Achievement Test and Mathematics Attitude Scale were administered to collect the necessary data. The instruction will be applied by the researcher five hours per week in a 15-week. The data were analyzed by using one-way repeated measures analysis of variance and a paired-samples t-test. According to the results of the study it was found that there was a statistically significant change in mathematics achievement of sixth grade students who participated in the instruction based on 5E learning cycle over three time periods (pre-intervention, post-intervention, and follow-up). There was only no statistically significant mean difference between post-intervention and follow-up mathematics achievement. Furthermore, there was a statistically significant decrease in mean scores of attitudes toward mathematics from prior intervention to after intervention.

Effect of constructed web-supported instruction on achievement related to educational statistics Emmungil, Levent; Geban, Ömer; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2009) The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of web supported statistics education environment for graduate level students. The aim was to develop a web support system to ease the graduate students' understanding of statistical concepts. This study also examined the perceptions of the students about web supported instruction. Although there are some studies conducted about technology aided statistics education, they are insufficient in the amount according to other areas. Besides these few studies...
The effects of problem solving approaches on students’ performance and self-regulated learning in mathematics Polat, Zeynep Sonay; Bulut, Safure; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2009) The main purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of problem solving approaches on pre-service elementary teachers’ basic mathematics achievement, problem- solving performance and their self regulated learning. The study was conducted as quasi - experimental design with 110 elementary school pre-service teachers at a public university in Central Anatolia Region in the 2007-2008 academic year during the second semester. The time duration of the study was 12 weeks. Experimental group was instructe...
Effect of conceptual change texts accompanied with analogies on promoting conceptual change in acid and base concepts Tamer, Püren İpek; Geban, Ömer; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2006) This study was conducted to compare the effectiveness of conceptual change text oriented instruction accompanied with analogies over traditional instruction on tenth grade students’ understanding of the acid and base concepts and attitude toward science as a school subject. In addition, effect of the gender difference and science process skills on students’ understanding of acid and base concepts and effect of gender difference on students’ attitudes toward chemistry as a school subject were also investigat...
Effect of case based learning on 10th grade students’ understanding of gas concepts, their attitude and motivation Yalçınkaya, Eylem; Boz, Yezdan; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2010) The main purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of case-based instruction based on conceptual change conditions to overcome 10th grade students’ misconceptions related to gas concepts. Moreover, the effect of this method on students’ attitudes toward chemistry and their perceived motivation was explored. The study was carried out during the 2008-2009 academic year at both a state high school and an Anatolian high school. A total of 128 tenth grade students were the participants of the st...
The connection between school and student characteristics with mathematics achievement in Turkey Sevgi, Sevim; Berberoğlu, Halil Giray; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2009) The purpose of study is to investigate the effects of school characteristics on students’ mathematics achievement across Turkey by analyzing the data collected from school questionnaire, student background questionnaire and mathematics achievement test in Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study 2007. The analyzed sample was comprised of 4,498 students in 146 schools. Student level factors were highest level of education of either parent, students speak the language of test at home, students’ p...
