Probleme Dayalı Öğrenmenin Kimya Dersinde Öğrencilerin Başarı Ve Tutumlarına Etkisinin İncelenmesi/ Effect Of The Problem Based Learning On Students' Achievement And Attitude In Chemistry

Öz

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Probleme Dayalı Öğrenmenin öğrencilerin kimyaya karşı tutumlarına ve kimya dersi gazlar konusu kapsamında akademik başarıları üzerine etkisini araştırmaktır. Çalışmanın örneklemini Hatay Atatürk Lisesinde okuyan ve kimya dersi alan 52 onuncu sınıf öğrencisi oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmanın uygulaması, 2008–2009 eğitim yılının ikinci döneminde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Veriler, gazlar konusu ile ilgili bir “Başarı Testi” ve “Kimya Dersi Tutum Ölçeği” kullanılarak elde edilmiştir. Çalışmanın sonuçları Probleme Dayalı Öğrenmenin öğrencilerin akademik başarılarını ve kimyaya karşı tutum düzeyini artırdığını göstermiştir.

Anahtar Sözcükler: Probleme Dayalı Öğrenme, kimya, tutum, başarı,

EFFECT OF THE PROBLEM BASED LEARNING ON STUDENTS' ACHIEVEMENT AND ATTİTUDE IN CHEMISTRY

Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate the effecs of problem based learning on students' atitude toward chemistry and on their academic achievement in the unit of “Gases” in the chemistry course.The sample of the study was consisted of 52 tenth year students taking chemistry course from the Atatürk Highschool, Hatay. Treatment of the study was carried out in the second semester of 2008-2009 academic year. In this study, control group pretest-posttest experimental design was used. The data was obtained with instruments which include “Achievement Test” related the unit of Gases and “Attitude Test” towards chemistry. The results of this study showed that problem based learning has improved students' academic achievement and increased students' attitude levels to chemistry.

Key words: Problem Based Learning, Chemistry, Attitude, Achievement
