The main purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of creative drama based instruction on seventh grade students’ achievement in ratio and proportion concepts and their attitudes toward mathematics. Another purpose of this study was to investigate students’ self-reported views related to creative drama based instruction. The study was conducted in a public school in Körfez-Kocaeli with a total of 58 seventh grade students, lasting 12 lesson hours (three weeks). Thirty of the participants received Creative Drama Based Instruction (CDBI), and twenty-eight received Traditional Instruction (TI). The data were collected through Ratio and Proportion Achievement Test (RPAT), Mathematics Attitude Scale (MAS), and interviews. The RPAT and MAS were administered as both pretest and posttest. In addition, interviews were conducted with the ten randomly selected students. The quantitative analyses were carried out by using One-Way Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) with covariate preRPAT and dependent variable postRPAT at the significance level 0.05. Moreover, independent samples t-test was performed on gain scores of MAS. The results of the study indicated that there was a statistically significant mean difference between the students who received creative drama based instruction and traditional instruction in terms of achievement in ratio and proportion concepts and in terms of gain scores of attitudes toward mathematics, in favor of CDBI. Furthermore, according to the interview responses of the experimental group students, significantly better performance of the experimental group students was attributable to the potential of the creative drama based instruction to provide actively involvement, work with friends and collaboratively and providing selfawareness.

The Effect of creative drama based instruction on seventh grade students' mathematics achievement in probability concept and their attitudes toward mathematics
Geçim, Ayşe Damla; Işıksal Bostan, Mine; Department of Elementary Science and Mathematics Education (2012)
The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of creative drama- based instruction on 7th grade students’ achievement in probability concept and their attitude toward mathematics. Another purpose of the study is to investigate the gender differences regarding mathematics achievement and attitude. The study was conducted with two 7th grade classes from a public school in the 2010-2011 academic year, lasting 17 lesson hours (six weeks). Twenty-two of the participants received Creative Drama Based Instruct...
The effects of computer-assisted instruction on the achievement, attitudes and retention of fourth grade mathematics students in North Cyprus
Pilli, Olga; Aksu, Meral (2013-03-01)
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of the educational software Frizbi Mathematics 4 on 4th grade student's mathematics achievement, retention, attitudes toward mathematics and attitude toward computer assisted learning. Two groups (experimental and control) of students from the state primary school in Gazimagusa, North Cyprus were used in this study. The control group was taught using a lecture-based traditional instruction and experimental group was taught using educational software, name...
An investigation of mathematics achievement of eighth grade students with respect to their learning styles
Kurbal, Serkan Süleyman; Çakıroğlu, Erdinç; Department of Educational Sciences (2011)
This study aimed to investigate the differences in mathematics achievement scores of the eighth grade students with respect to their learning styles. Mathematics achievements of the eighth grade students were determined by the number of correct answers given in the mathematics subtest of Level Determination Examination (abbreviated in Turkish as SBS) which was administered in June 2009. Mathematics achievements of the eighth grade students were also determined by teacher-assigned mathematics grades which we...
THE EFFECTS OF MULTIPLE REPRESENTATIONS-BASED INSTRUCTION ON SEVENTH GRADE STUDENTS' ALGEBRA PERFORMANCE
Akkus, Oylum; Çakıroğlu, Erdinç (2009-02-01)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of multiple representation-based instruction on seventh grade students' algebra performance. The study was conducted on four seventh grade classes from two public schools lasting eight weeks. For assessing algebra performance, three instruments called translations among representations skill test, objective based achievement test, and Chelsea diagnostic algebra test were used. The analyses were conducted by using multivariate covariance statistical mo...
THE EFFECT OF MATHEMATICS INSTRUCTION BASED ON FLOW THEORY PRINCIPLES ENHANCED WITH REALISTIC MATHEMATICS EDUCATION ON STUDENTS' ACHIEVEMENT, RETENTION, MOTIVATION AND FLOW STATE
Ay, Yasin; Aksu, Meral; Department of Curriculum and Instruction (2022-2)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of mathematics instruction designed based on Flow Theory and RME on students’ achievement, retention, flow state and motivation. The study was conducted in 2017-2018 spring semester for 11 weeks at a state school in İzmir. In this study, quasi-experimental research design was used. After the groups were determined to be equivalent in the pretests, they were randomly assigned as experimental and control. The experimental group consisted of 37 students, ...
