Abstract

Learning referred to the changing and expansion of the schemes in the mind of the child through the addition of new knowledge. This determination is based on the cognitive area. The learning also happens in the affective area. The aim of this research is to study the effects of the usage of advanced organizer and haptic learning applications on the cognitive and affective learning area of the 5th grade students in Canakkale, Turkey. The activity has been applied on a sheep heart in a science camp. The data is collected within the mixed methodology, and evaluated within a case study. At the completion of the study, students were observed to acquire knowledge successfully and they had found the activity interesting and entertaining. As a result, it was concluded that the advanced organizer and haptic learning are effective on cognitive and affective learning area

Keywords
