The Impact of a Mobile Museum (MM) App on 10th Grade Students’ Learning of Natural Sciences: The Case of Tekirdağ Süleymanpaşa

Öz

This study aims to examine the effects of the mobile museum (MM) application on 10th-grade students’ knowledge of rocks, minerals, and fossils, their attitudes toward museum education, their preferences for experiential learning, and their career interests in the natural sciences. Designed as a portable educational tool consisting of rock, mineral, and fossil collections, the MM enabled students to interact directly and tangibly with natural science materials. The study was conducted with a total of 873 10th-grade students attending seven different high schools in the Süleymanpaşa district of Tekirdağ province. A single-group pre-test and post-test design, one of the quantitative research methods, was used in the study. A 15-item 5-point Likert-type scale developed by the researchers was applied as the data collection tool. The scale consists of items designed to measure students’ knowledge of rocks, minerals, and fossils; their attitudes toward museum education and out-of-school learning; their preferences for experiential learning; and their career interests. The Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test, Mann-Whitney U Test, and Kruskal-Wallis H Test were used to analyze the data. The results indicated statistically significant changes in 12 out of 15 items following the MM application (p<0.001). No significant differences were observed for items S6, S11, and S13. The scale’s internal consistency coefficient was calculated as α = 0.694 for the pre-test and α = 0.911 for the post-test. The reduction in significant differences observed between school types on certain items in the post-test compared to the pre-test suggests that the MM program can produce more balanced results regarding knowledge and attitude levels among students from different school types. In light of these results, it is recommended that MM applications be expanded in schools with limited access to museum resources, the use of concrete materials in science education be increased, and museum education be integrated with school-based learning processes.
