Abstract

The purpose of this research was to examine the effect of problem-based learning (PBL) on the academic success of students concerning the subjects of the child’s right to health and right to the protection in working life. The study was a single-group pre- and post-test research design and the study group consisted of students studying in the Child Development Program of a state university in Turkey (n=37). In the research, two scenarios entitled ‘Two Friends’ and ‘Mete and His Family’ were developed regarding the relevant topics. ‘Success Test’ and ‘Structured Interview Form’ were used as data collection tools. The content analysis was conducted on the answers given by the students to the questions in the relevant test and structured interview forms. The data obtained from the test were transferred to the SPSS program, and the related group t-test was used. As a result of this study, it was found that the scenarios developed according to the PBL on the relevant rights increased the sound understanding and success of the students. In addition, the students expressed positive views about the developed scenarios in general.

Probleme Dayalı Öğrenmenin Öğrenci Başarısına Etkisi: Çocuğun Sağlık ve Çalışma Hayatında Korunma Hakları

Abstract

Bu araştırmanın amacı, çocuğun sağlık hakkı ve çalışma hayatında korunma hakkı konularında probleme dayalı öğrenmenin (PDÖ)öğrencilerin akademik başarısına etkisini incelemektir. Araştırma tek gruplu ön - son test araştırma deseninde olup, çalışma grubunu Türkiye’de bir devlet üniversitesinin Çocuk Gelişimi Programı’nda öğrenim gören öğrenciler (n=37) oluşturmuştur. Araştırmada ilgili konularla ilgili olarak ‘‘İki Arkadaş’’ ve ‘‘Mete ve Ailesi’’ başlıklı iki senaryo geliştirilmiştir. Veri toplama aracı olarak “Başarı Testi” ve “Yapılandırılmış Görüşme Formu” kullanılmıştır. Öğrencilerin ilgili test ve yapılandırılmış görüşme formundaki sorulara verdikleri cevaplar üzerinden içerik analizi yapılmıştır. Testten elde edilen veriler SPSS programına aktarılarak ilgili grup t-testi kullanılmıştır. Bu çalışma sonucunda ilgili haklara ilişkin probleme dayalı öğrenemeye göre geliştirilen senaryoların öğrencilerin sağlıklı anlamalarını ve başarılarını artırdığı tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca öğrenciler genel olarak geliştirilen senaryolar hakkında olumlu görüşler ifade etmişlerdir
