Abstract
Transferring physics to daily life supports that the subjects are learned effectively. The human eye offers a rich potential for connecting optics concepts to everyday life. This study introduced a cost-effective and easily transportable eye model made from wood as an optic instructional material. With this eye model, myopia and its correction can be explained in physics courses, as well as why a person with myopic cannot see the distance clearly but can see the near clearly. The advantages of this material which is used with flashlight, light limiter and wood grid from other commercial models which is used with laser were shown experimentally. It is thought that this teaching material will important contribute to associating optics topics with daily life in courses.

Abstract
Fiziğin günlük hayatla ilişkilendirilmesi konuların etkili bir şekilde öğrenilmesini destekler. İnsan gözü, optik kavramlarını günlük hayatla ilişkilendirmek için zengin bir potansiyel sunar. Bu çalışmada, optik öğretim materyali olarak ahşaptan hazırlanmış, uygun maliyetli ve kolay taşınabilir bir göz modeli tanıtılmıştır. Bu göz modeli ile miyopi ve miyopinin gözlükle düzeltilmesinin yanı sıra miyop kırma kusuru olan bir kişinin neden uzağı net göremediği ancak yakını net görebildiği açıklanabilmektedir. Ayrıca el feneri, ışık sınırlandırıcı ve ahşap ızgara ile kullanılan bu materyalin lazer ışık kaynağı kullanılan ticari göz modellerinden miyopiyi modellemedeki üstünlüğü deneysel olarak gösterilmiştir. Bu öğretim materyalinin derslerde optik konularının günlük hayatla ilişkilendirilmesine önemli katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.
