The aim of this study is to investigate of the effect of the technology supported science education in the unit “light” on the academic achievement, the permanence of knowledge and attitudes toward science of the 7th grade students. It is an research which is pre and post-test with control group design and it was performed in the fall term of 2010-2011 academic year. The participants for this study consisted of 37 (Experimental, n=20 and Control, n=17). The data of the research was collected by the Science Academic Achievement Test (SAAT) and the Attitude toward Science Test (ATST). “Technology Supported Learning Method” (Computer, Internet, video, DVD, slide shows, posters, three-dimensional images, graphics...) was applied to the experimental group and “Traditional Teaching Method” was used for control group. The results indicated that there was a significant difference between experimental and control group. Technology Supported Learning had a positive impact on students\' attitudes toward science and increased science academic achievement.

İlköğretim 7. Sınıf Öğrencilerinin Fen ve Teknoloji Dersi "Işık" Ünitesinde Teknoloji Destekli Öğret

Öz

Bu çalışmanın amacı, ilköğretim 7. sınıf öğrencilerinin fen ve teknoloji dersi “ışık” ünitesinde; fen akademik başarılarına, kalıcılığa ve fene karşı tutumları üzerine teknoloji destekli öğretimin (TDÖ) etkilerinin araştırılmasıdır. Araştırma, 2010 – 2011 eğitim-öğretim yılı bahar döneminde 37 öğrenci ile (Deney, n = 20 ve Kontrol, n = 17) gerçekleştirilmiştir Çalışma, öntest-sontest kontrol gruplu deneysel bir çalışma olup, Araştırmanın verileri Fen Akademik Başarı Testi (FABT) ile Fene Karşı Tutum Testi (FKTT) ile toplanmıştır.. Uygulamada ders, kontrol grubunda MEB Fen ve Teknoloji dersi öğretim programına göre sınıf içinde önerilen ve ders öğretmeninin kullandığı öğretim ile deney grubunda ise Teknoloji Destekli Öğretim (Bilgisayar, internet, video, VCD, slayt gösterileri, poster, üç boyutlu resimler, grafikler…) ile ders işlenmiştir. Deney ve kontrol grubunda yer alan öğrencilerin başarı, kalıcılık ve tutum testi puanları arasında anlamlı bir farklılık vardır. TDÖ, öğrencilerin fen başarıları, bilgilerinin kalıcılığı ve fene karşı tutumları üzerine olumlu etkide bulunmuştur.
