The purpose of this study is to examine seventh grade Science and
Technology course in primary education according to Mayer's message design principles
for the impact on student achievement. As research design, a final test was
administered to experimental and control groups. The subject of simple machines
in the Science and Technology course was taught to the experimental group according
to the Mayer's scientific message design principles, and sample questions
were solved according to mathematics message design principles. The same subject
was taught to the control group with traditional teacher-centered method. As a
result of this expression applied test to students for compare students’ success.
According to research results, a significant difference was found on the student
achievement in terms of applying message design principles.

Mayer’in Bilimsel ve Matematiksel Mesaj Tasarım İlkelerine Göre Tasarlanmış Öğrenme Ortamının Öğrenci Başarısı Üzerine Etkisi

Öz

Bu çalışmanın amacı ilköğretim yedinci sınıf Fen ve Teknoloji dersinde Mayer’in mesaj tasarım ilkelerine göre hazırlanmış bir öğrenme ortamının öğrenci başarısı üzerindeki etkisini incelemektir. Araştırma deseni olarak son test kontrol ve deney gurubu deseni kullanılmıştır. Deney grubuna Fen ve Teknoloji dersi basit makinelerkonusu Mayer’in bilimsel mesaj tasarım ilkelerine uygun olarak anlatılmış ve örnek sorular da matematiksel mesaj tasarım ilkelerine göre çözülmüştür. Kontrol grubuna ise konu geleneksel öğretmen merkezli yöntemle anlatılmış ve bu anlatım sonunda bir sınav uygulanarak öğrencilerin başarıları karşılaştırılmıştır. Araştırma sonucuna göre mesaj tasarım ilkelerinin öğrenci başarısı üzerinde anlamlı bir fark oluşturduğu görülmüştür
