The purpose of this study is to compensate the totally blind students’ disadvantage position in physics courses by developing course materials which let them use different senses and investigate the effect of these materials on the totally blind and sighted students’ achievement, motivation and attitude towards the physics course and perceptions about their learning environment. In accordance with this purpose, a quasi-experimental study was conducted in two independent cases. These cases are selected because there was no other school in Ankara which includes totally blind student in 9th grades. Student identification form, motion achievement test, and motivation and attitude questionnaire are given to both experimental and control groups. Both groups followed the formal textbook but the experimental group which the totally blind student is member of this group additionally used enriched course vi materials. During the treatment, totally blind students are observed in terms of their interaction types and frequencies. At the end of the treatment additional to post-tests, a learning environment questionnaire and a form about the students’ interaction are given to all groups. Descriptive statistics and some effect size values indicated that the totally blind students and their friends in the experimental group have higher achievement than students in the control groups. Moreover, their motivation and attitude towards the physics course and perceptions about their learning environment increase positively. On the other hand, using only textbook change the all control group students’ motivation and attitude towards the physics course and perceptions about learning environment negatively. It was observed that the totally blind students used course materials, asked questions, answered, commented, and gave examples during the treatment in motion unit. Based on the success of enrich course materials, this study suggest to develop more materials which support the disadvantaged students like blinds for inclusive classes.

The effect of testing accommodations on ninth grade sighted and blind students’ achievement about motion and some affective characteristics
Öden Acar, Arzu; Eryılmaz, Ali; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2021-8-26)
The purpose of this study is revealing the problems of blind students in examinations and determining how testing accommodations affect sighted and blind students’ achievement and some affective characteristics. The study was designed with the transformative mixed method. In the qualitative phase, eight blind students in Bursa were interviewed. Considering the results of qualitative phase, quantitative phase was planned and conducted in three inclusive classrooms. Two of the classrooms were in Sakarya and o...
The Relative Effectiveness of Integrated Reading Study Strategy and Conceptual Physics Approach
Taslidere, Erdal; Eryılmaz, Ali (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2012-04-01)
The primary purpose of this study was to investigate the combined and partial effects of the Integrated Reading/Study Strategy and Conceptual Physics Approach on ninth grade private high school students' achievement in and attitudes toward optics. The Integrated Reading/Study Strategy is a new strategy which was developed by integrating previously existing reading strategies of the KWL and SQ3R with classroom lecturing. The Conceptual Physics Approach is an instructional strategy developed on the basis of C...
The effect of peer instruction on high school students' achievement and attitudes toward physics
Eryılmaz, Hülya; Geban, Ömer; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2004)
This study aimed to explore the effectiveness one of the interactive engagement method which is peer instruction enriched by concept test on students' achievement and attitudes toward physics. In this study two types of teaching were used. These are; (1) Peer Instruction enriched by concept test, and (2) Traditional Instruction. For this study, Physics Attitude Test (PAT), Physics Achievement Test (PACT), Observation Checklist (OC), Teaching/Learning Materials were developed. Physics Attitude Test, Physics ...
Investigation of effect of visual treatment on elementary school student’s spatial ability and attitude toward spatial ability problems
Bayrak, Mahmut Emre; Bulut, Safure; Department of Educational Sciences (2008)
The purposes of the study were to investigate the effects of visual treatment on students’ opinion in terms of thinking process and students’ opinion in terms of feelings in the spatial ability activities; to investigate the effects of visual treatment on student’s spatial ability, spatial visualization and spatial orientation The study was conducted in Ankara with 21 sixth-grade elementary school students. One group pretest-posttest design was used. Two measuring instruments were utilized: Spatial Ability ...
Using a Force Concept Inventory Test with Visually Impaired and Blind Students
Bülbül, Mustafa Şahin; Garip, Belkıs; Özdemir, Ömer Faruk (2015-01-01)
This paper reports on a study to determine whether blind students’ conceptualizations of force and motion differ from sighted students. This is particularly concerned with the question of whether the students’ visual experiences have any relation to their conceptualizations or misconceptualization about force and motion. The research was designed as a case study and the data was collected from 6 blind high school students based on conceptual physics problems related to force and ...
