The aim of this study is to determine the effects of
Student Teams Achievement Divisions (STAD) and Learning Together (LT) methods
of cooperative learning model and the conventional methods on academic
achievement and retention of the knowledge leraned in the subject of Analytic
Examination of the Circle of candidates of primary school mathematics teaching.
Quantitative research methods are used in and this study is designed according
quasi-experimental to pre-test, post-test design with control group. The
sampling of the study is formed by the 76 students in normal and evening
education groups of 3rd grade in primary school mathematics teaching department
at a state university. The achievement test formed by the researcher, module
tests are used as data collection tools in the study. The study is held with 2
experimental and 1 control groups in tottally three classes. STAD method is
used in the first group, LT is used in the second group, and the conevtional
methods are used in the third group. Descripitve statistics, one way variance
analyses (ANOVA) and LSD multiple comparison tests are used in the analyses of
quantitative data. Consequently, it is seen that STAD and LT methods are more
effective on academic achievement of the students and the retention of the
knowledge. It is also seen that STAD is more effective on academic achievement
and LT is more effective on retention.
