IMPACT OF PROBLEM BASED LEARNING METHOD ON CANDIDATE SOCIAL STUDIES TEACHERS

Abstract

In this study, impact of problem based learning (PBL) and traditional teaching methods on gaining environmental consciousness of candidate social studies students was researched. Data were collected using both qualitative and quantitative research paradigms. In the section of the qualitative research paradigm, impact of PBL and traditional teaching methods on students’ academic achievement and problem solving ability was tested. In the section of the quantitative research paradigm which was added to get more detailed and valid results, students’ interpretations about PBL and traditional teaching methods and thoughts about whether PBL created an environmental consciousness on them were evaluated. In the end of the nine-month-practice some results which complete one another were obtained from both qualitative and quantitative research paradigms. It was determined that PBL is more successful than traditional teaching methods in terms of academic achievements and problem solving abilities of students. Students have negative critiques related with traditional teaching methods, while positive critiques about problem based learning method. They emphasize that PBL has improved their consciousness about environmental problems or increased their anxieties they already have in this issue. They also say that this method caused some behaviour changes in their daily life with examples.
