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 model. The results pointed out that multiple representation-based instruction had a significant effect on students' algebra performance compared to the conventional teaching. In addition to this, students from experimental groups found this way of teaching fruitful.

The effects of multiple intelligences based instruction on sixth graders' science achievement and attitudes towards science Akbaş, Aydın; Sancar, Mehmet Tevfik; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2004) The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of multiple intelligences based instruction on sixth grade students? science achievement, and attitudes towards science. This experimental research was conducted in the 2nd term of 2002 ? 2003 educational year with sixth graders in METU Ankara College Primary School, and lasted for three weeks. A randomly chosen class was assigned to the experimental group and instructed by Multiple Intelligences Science Instruction, and the other randomly chosen class...
The effects of multiple representations-based instruction on seventh grade students' algebra performance, attitude towards mathematics, and representation preference. Çıkla Akkuş, Oylum; Çakıroğlu, Erdinç; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2004) The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of multiple representations-based instruction on seventh grade students̕ algebra performance, attitudes toward mathematics, and representation preference compared to the conventional teaching. Moreover, it was aimed to find out how students use multiple representations in algebraic situations and the reasons of preferring certain modes of representations. The study was conducted in four seventh grade classes from two public schools in Ankara in the 20...
The Effects of teaching linear equations with dynamic mathematics software on seventh grade students’ achievement Doktoroğlu, Rezzan; Çakıroğlu, Erdinç; Department of Elementary Science and Mathematics Education (2013) The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of teaching linear equations with Dynamic Mathematics Software (GeoGebra) on seventh grade students’ achievement compared to the regular instruction. Randomized posttest-only control group design was utilized in the study. 60 seventh grade students (32 girls and 28 boys) of a public school in Yenimahalle district in Ankara participated in the study. The study was conducted in 2011-2012 fall semester, lasting 9 class hours in three weeks. The data was ...
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 effects of problem-based learning method on 9th grade students’ achievement in geometry Apaçık, Mükerrem; Bulut, Safure; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2009) The purpose of the study was to determine the effects of problem-based learning (PBL) on 9th grade students’ geometry achievement. The study was conducted in a rural town of Ankara with 44 ninth-grade high school students. The randomized pretest-posttest control group design was used. The experimental group was instructed with hybrid PBL and the control group was instructed with traditional teaching methods. The treatment was given for 4 hours every week for a total of six weeks. Geometry Achievement Test (...
