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 Instruction (CDBI), and twenty-one received Regular Instruction (RI). Experimental design was used in which two different learning environments; creative drama based instruction and regular instruction was compared. In order to measure students’ mathematics achievement Probability Achievement Test (PAT) was used. The participants were given Mathematics Attitude Scale (MAS), in order to quantify the levels of attitude towards mathematics. These instruments were implemented before and after the treatment as pre-test and post-test. Independent samples t-test was performed on gain scores of PAT and MAS. Moreover, two way ANOVA was performed to examine the data. Two way ANOVA results yielded that there was a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of Experimental Group and Control Group in terms of achievement in favor of Experimental Group. Moreover, female students had significantly higher mathematics achievement scores than males. The results of mathematics attitude scale showed that the seventh grade students’ attitudes towards mathematics were not significantly different with respect to teaching method. Also, it could be stated that gender difference regarding of mean attitude scores was not statistically significant.

The effect of creative drama based instruction on seventh grade students' achievement in ratio and proportion concepts and attitudes toward mathematics
Debreli, Esra; Çakıroğlu, Erdinç; Işıksal Bostan, Mine; Department of Educational Sciences (2011)
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 ...
The Influence of pair-programming technique on secondary school students’ confidence and achievement in computer programming
Karaoğlu, Habibe; Can, Gülfidan; Department of Curriculum and Instruction (2018)
The aim of this case study is to explore the possible influences of Pair-Programming Technique on Secondary School students’ confidence and achievement in computer programming. Within an 8-week implementation with 35 students in 5th grade, the students were divided into Individual and Pair-Programmers. The number of pair students was 22 and there were 13 individual students in the study. Both qualitative and quantitative data were collected in the study. The main data sources were interviews, students’ rati...
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, ...
The Effect of conceptual change based instruction on tenth grade students’ understanding of probability concepts, probability achievement and attitudes toward probability
Topbaş Tat, Emel; Bulut, Safure; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2014)
The purpose of the current study is to investigate the effect of conceptual change based instruction on tenth grade students’ understanding of probability concepts, probability achievement and attitudes toward probability. This study was conducted with 118 students from one Anatolian high school in Ankara during the spring semester of 2010-2011. The treatments were performed by two teachers who had randomly assigned one control and one experimental group. Conceptual change based instruction (CCBI) was used ...
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...
