Teaching Ninth Grade “Biological Diversity and Protection” Topic Using Stations Technique and Satisfaction of the Students from the Implementation

Abstract

Replacement of instruction-based and passive student methods and techniques with new educational approach facilitating students active participation is important to ensure effective, long-lasting learning. Stations technique contends work where students are active in the learning and teaching process and participate by exploring and effectively involve in the process. This study was carried out during the 2015/2016 spring term academic year in Şereflikoçhisar province of Ankara, in Tuz Gölü Anatolian High School, 9th grade students (N = 31). Teaching “Biological Diversity and its Protection” topic in the 9th grade curriculum was delivered using stations technique during six instruction hours. Biological diversity topic was chosen since it is taught during the last period of the semester and it is very important. The objective of this study is to determine students’ level of satisfaction and pleasure from the stations techniques used to teach biological diversity topics. To this aim, Stations Technique Satisfaction Instrument (İMTÖ) was developed by researchers and applied. Our results showed that the students were satisfied with the stations technique, enjoyed working at the stations, felt comfortable; however it was somewhat tiring. The stations technique provided active participation of the students to the process, improved their motivation and encouraged group work, therefore it can be applied to other topics and courses.
