The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of WebQuest based instruction on ninth grade students’ achievement in and attitude towards force and motion subject. Force and Motion Achievement Test, Attitude towards “Force and Motion” Scale, Attitude towards the Internet Scale, Observation Checklist, and Out-Class Activities Survey were used as measuring tools. Teacher handouts and WebQuests were prepared as teaching/learning materials for this study. The study was conducted with 226 ninth grade students from eight classes of four high schools in Etimesgut district of Ankara in the spring semester of 2009-2010. There were four teachers and two classes of each teacher in this study. Force and Motion Achievement Test, Attitude towards “Force and Motion” Scale, and Attitude towards the Internet Scale were administered as pre-test to all groups in order to determine students’ prior achievement and attitude level before the treatment. The students in the experimental group received WebQuest based instruction and the students in the control group received traditional physics instruction. The instruction in both groups took eight weeks. After the treatment, Force and Motion Achievement Test, Attitude towards “Force and Motion” Scale, and Out-Class Activities Survey were given to both the experimental and control groups. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses were carried out with the data obtained from the pre and post-tests. The descriptive statistics showed that the distribution of the data at each variable was approximately normal. Multivariate Analysis of Covariance (MANCOVA) was used as inferential statistics. The results of the MANCOVA showed a significant mean difference of the achievement in favor of the experimental groups. However, no significant difference was found for attitude towards force and motion between the groups.

The effect of conceptual change based instruction on students' attitudes toward chemistry
Kaya, Ebru; Geban, Ömer (2011-02-07)
This study aims to explore the effect of conceptual change based instruction accompanied with demonstrations (CCBIAD) on 11th grade students’ attitudes toward chemistry. The sample consists of sixty-nine 11th grade students in two classes in a high school. In the experimental group, CCBIAD was used, whereas in the control group, traditionally designed chemistry instruction was used. The students’ attitudes were measured by Attitude Scale toward Chemistry. The results of ANOVA show that there was a significa...
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...

Boğar, Yurdagül; KALENDER, SUNA; SARIKAYA, MUSTAFA (2012-02-05)
The purpose of this research is to examine on students' academic achievement, retention of knowledge and attitudes towards science course in matter of structural and characteristic subject with constructivist education version. This study was conducted with students 7/A (N=34) and 7/B (N=34) located in Ankara, during the spring period of 2008-2009 academic year. The study used a quasi-experimental research design with pre-test and post-test control group was used in this study. According to this research mo...
The effect of using game-based learning activities in algebra on seventh-grade students’ algebra achievement, attitude towards mathematics and opinions about game-based learning activities
Başkahya, Zeynep Işılay; İşler Baykal, Işıl; Department of Mathematics Education (2021-9-10)
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of using game-based learning activities in algebra on seventh-grade students' algebra achievement, attitudes towards mathematics, and opinions about game-based learning activities. The study sample included 19 seventh-grade students at a public middle school in İstanbul, and the sample was chosen by convenience sampling method. The study was a one-group pretest-posttest experimental design. During the intervention of the study, 5 lesson plans th...
