Çalışmanın amacı: Bu araştırmanın temel amacı, sosyal bilgiler dersinde kuantum öğrenme modelinin öğrencilerin akademik başarıları üzerindeki etkisini belirlemektir.
Materyal ve Yöntem: Karma araştırma yönteminden gömülü desen kullanılarak gerçekleştirilen bu araştırmanın katılımcıları, 2023-2024 bahar döneminde Türkiye'nin Van ilinde bir devlet ortaokulunda okuyan 5. sınıf öğrencileri ve onların sosyal bilgiler öğretmenlerinden oluşmaktadır. Araştırma verileri, akademik başarı testi, yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu, yapılandırılmamış gözlem ve araştırmacı günlüğü aracılığıyla toplanmıştır. Araştırma istatistiksel verilerinin analizi için bağımsız örneklemler için t-testi ve kovaryans analizi kullanılırken, nitel verilerinin analizi için içerik analizi kullanılmıştır.
Bulgular: Araştırmada kuantum öğrenme modelinin öğrencilerin akademik başarılarını artırdığı sonucuna varılmıştır. Araştırmaya katılan sosyal bilgiler öğretmeni ve öğrencilerin sosyal bilgiler eğitiminde kuantum öğrenme modelinin kullanımının çok çeşitli yararlar sağladığı görüşüne sahip oldukları belirlenmiştir. Araştırmada ulaşılan sonuçlar kapsamında uygulama ve gelecek araştırmalar için önerilerde bulunulmuştur.
Önemli Vurgular: Sosyal bilgiler dersinde öğrencilerin akademik başarılarını artırmaya yönelik alternatif yaklaşımların incelenmesi, eğitim alanındaki araştırmalar açısından önemlidir. Bu çerçevede, kuantum öğrenme modelinin öğrenci başarısı üzerindeki etkisini ele alan, bilimsel araştırmalar alana katkı sağlayabilir.

The Effect of The Quantum Learning on Students' Academic Achievements in Social Studies Course

Öz

Purpose: The main purpose of this research is to determine the effect of the quantum learning model in social studies course on students' academic achievements.
Design/Methodology/Approach: Using the mixed research method with an embedded design, the participants of this research consist of 5th-grade students and their social studies teacher studying in a public middle-school in Türkiye’s Van province in the spring term of the 2023-2024. The research data was collected through academic achievement tests, semi-structured interview forms, unstructured observations, and researcher's diary. Statistical analysis of the research data utilized t-tests and covariance analysis for independent samples, while content analysis was employed for qualitative data analysis.
Results: The research concluded that the quantum learning model contributed to enhancing students' academic achievements. Both the social studies teacher and students involved in the research acknowledged the various benefits of the quantum learning model in social studies education. The results have led to recommendations for practice and further research.

Highlights: Examining the alternative approaches aimed at improving students' academic achievement in social studies is important in terms of research in the field of education. In this context, scientific research examining the effect of the quantum learning model on student achievement can contribute to the field.
