THE EFFECT OF MATHEMATICS LESSONS DESIGNED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PRINCIPLES OF WHOLE LEARNING AND DELIVERED USING DIFFERENT TECHNIQUES ON CHILDREN’S ATTITUDE TO MATHEMATICS
Abstract
The aim of this experimental study is to determine whether there is a
difference in attitude to mathematics between the experiment group, for whom
different teaching methods (such as discovery, dramatization, question-answer
and game techniques) designed according to the principles of whole learning,
and the control group, who were instructed using traditional techniques, in the
teaching of whole numbers in 7th Grade Mathematics. The study was carried
out in an elementary school in the Asian side of İstanbul with Grade 7 students.
An experimental group and a control group were used in this research. The
study was followed by a t test to determine whether or not the techniques used
in the research had a significant effect on attitudes to mathematics. The results
of the t test showed that, in the attitude of the students in the experiment group,
who were instructed using different teaching methods in accordance with the
principles of whole learning, there was a positive change. Also, while there was
a positive change in the experiment group as far as interest in mathematics lessons,
the perceived usefulness of mathematics and the perceived success level in
mathematics are concerned, it was discovered that, the traditional methods, although
they did not change the attitudes to mathematics, they had a positive
effect on the perceived usefulness of mathematics.
