Abstract

This
study has been carried out to fulfill the effect on 7th grade
students’ academic achievement and their attitudes towards the Science and
Technology course in the unit of “solar system and beyond: space puzzle”. The
semi–experimental methods with pre-test post-test, experiment and control
groups were used in the study. 60 (sixty) 7th grade students who
were studying in a secondary school in the city center of Agri, participated as
a sample in this research. The experimental group was composed of 30 students
of 7-A class and the control group included 30 students of 7-C class. The
practice of this research was performed in the spring season of the 2014-2015
academic years in three weeks. During the practice the formative assessment
method was used in the experimental group and traditional method in control
group. The data of this research were collected by using an academic
achievement test and a science attitude test both as pre-test, post-test. The
independent sample t-test was used to analyze the data between the groups and
paired t-test was used to analyze the data in the groups. According to the
results, at the end of the formative assessment activities applied to the
experimental group, obtained from the analyses it was concluded that the
average success of the students participated in the experimental group is very
high compared to the average success of control group. It was seen that the
students’ academic success in the experimental group was higher than the
students’ academic success in the control group and the significant difference
between them was very high. As another result a very small difference was
identified between experiment and control groups in terms of students’
attitudes towards science
