Evaluation of using book and student’s workbooks used in science lessons according to students’ opinions
Abstract
This study is aimed to determine students’ opinions about the effect of workbooks on the use of workbooks as homework and learning environment that have been used since 2005-2006 academic year and have been removed as gradually since 2013. For this purpose, in 2015-2016 academic year, the qualitative data was gathered by asking 15 open-ended structured and semi-structured questions to 108 seventh grade students who are schooler in city center and towns of Samsun. Results showed that students’ evaluations about student’s workbooks changed according to students’ success and a positive correlation was appointed between academic success and the utility of using books. Although successful students’ evaluations about using books and it’s utility were positive, less successful students’ evaluations were negative because workbooks require obligatory extra studying. We are of the opinion that success show parallelism with the use of books and the use of workbooks is much better when you consider students’ general opinions.
