Bu araştırmada, geleneksel yöntem ile oyun yöntemi karşılaştırılarak tarih derslerinde oyun yöntemi kullanımının öğrencilerin erişişine ve öğrenmenin kalıcılığına etkisini ortaya koymak amaçlanmıştır. Araştırma 9. Sınıf “Tarih Bilimi”, “Uygarlığın Doğuşu ve İlk Uygarlıklar” ve “İlk Türk Devletleri” üniteleri ile sınırlandırılmıştır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu Samsun iline bağlı Havza Anadolu Lisesinin 9. sınıfında (9/C ve 9/D) öğrenim gören toplam 57 öğrenci oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada yarı deneysel yöntem kullanılmış, “ön test-son test-kalıcılık testi kontrol gruplu model” uygulanmıştır. Öğretim süreci boyunca belirlenen üniteler kontrol grubunda geleneksel yöntemle deney grubunda ise oyun yöntemi kullanılarak işlenmiştir. Elde edilen bulgulara göre deney grubunda oyun yöntemi ile kazanılan bilgilerin kontrol grubunda geleneksel yöntemlerle kazanılan bilgilere göre erişi ve kalıcılık düzeyinin daha yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir. Sonuç olarak, oyun yöntemiyle tarih öğretiminin geleneksel yöntemden sadece erişi düzeyini değil, kalıcılık düzeyini de artırmak açısından daha etkili olduğu değerlendirilmiştir.
