The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of computer animations technique and jigsaw technique on students\' academic achievement in general chemistry-II course. The study included 122 first-year undergraduate students from three classes of a general chemistry-II course. In this research, two instruments, which were the Test of Scientific Reasoning and Chemistry Academic Achievement Test, were used. In teaching of topics; in the control group, the traditional teaching method, in the animation group, computer animations and in the jigsaw group, jigsaw techniques were applied. From the findings of this study, which are investigates effects of teaching through animation technique and jigsaw technique they were found that this technique had more positive effects on teaching than the traditional teaching method.

Öğrencilerin Akademik Başarılarına Bilgisayar Animasyonları ve Jigsaw Tekniğinin Etkisi

Öz

Bu çalışma, işbirlikli öğrenme metodunun bir alt tekniği olan jigsaw tekniği ve bilgisayar animasyonları tekniğinin öğrencilerin genel kimya II dersindeki akademik başarılarına etkisini incelmek amacı ile yapılmıştır. Çalışmaya Genel Kimya-II dersini alan üç sınıftaki toplam 122 fen bilgisi öğretmenliği birinci sınıf öğrencisi katılmıştır. Araştırmada, Kimya Akademik Başarı Testi ve Bilimsel Düşünme Beceri Testi olmak üzere iki ölçme aracı kullanılmıştır. Elektrokimya ünitesinin öğretimi; deney gruplarında bilgisayar animasyon ve jigsaw tekniği ile kontrol grubunda ise geleneksel anlatım yöntemi kullanılarak gerçekleştirildi. Çalışmada elde edilen sonuçlara göre, bilgisayar animasyonları kullanılarak gerçekleştirilen bilgisayar destekli öğretim yöntemi ve jigsaw tekniği ile dThe purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of computer animations technique and jigsaw technique on students\' academic achievement in general chemistry-II course.
