This study aims to investigate the effect of simulation and animation based 5E learning cycle model on prospective teachers' success in science and on their level of motivation. The sample consisted of 46 prospective teachers studying in their second year in the department of classroom teaching in a state university in 2015-2016. The study was performed in a quasi-experiment pattern design including an experimental group and a control group. Simulation and animation based 5E model was applied to the experimental group while general methods according to the program were applied to the control group. The test of success in science and instructional materials motivation survey were performed to collect data. According to the results, there was a significant difference between the scores of science achievement and motivation in favor of the experimental group in terms of both post-test and retention scores. As for the highlights of the results could be argued that they make abstract concepts of sciences concrete, help students accurately picture and structure abstract concepts of sciences in their mind. In addition, simulation and animation, which are computer-based teaching methods, should be utilized to diversify education and training given how common distance learning is nowadays.

Simülasyon ve Animasyon Destekli 5E Modelinin Sınıf Öğretmen Adaylarının Fen Başarısı ve Motivasyonlarına Etkisi

Öz

Bu çalışmanın amacı, simülasyon ve animasyon destekli 5E öğrenme döngüsü modeli uygulamasının öğretmen adaylarının fen başarısı ve motivasyon düzeyleri üzerindeki etkisini araştırmaktır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubu 2015-2016 tarihlerinde bir devlet üniversitesinin eğitim fakültesi sınıf eğitimi programı ikinci sınıfında öğrenim gören 46 öğretmen adayından oluşmaktadır. Çalışma bir deney grubu ve bir kontrol grubunun katıldığı yarı deneysel desenle gerçekleştirilmiştir. Deney grubuna simülasyon ve animasyonla desteklenmiş 5E modeli uygulanırken kontrol grubuna programa uygun genel yöntemler uygulanmıştır. Çalışmada veriler fen başarı testi ile öğretim materyalleri motivasyon anketinden toplanmıştır. Sonuçlar incelendiğinde deney ve kontrol gruplarının fen başarısı ve motivasyon puanları arasında hem son-test hem de kalıcılık puanları açısından deney grubu lehine manidar bir farklılık görülmüştür. Bu çalışmada ön plana çıkan hususlar ifade edilecek olunursa; soyut fen konularını somutlaştırır, soyut fen kavramlarını öğrencinin zihinlerinde doğru bir şekilde canlandırmasına ve yapılandırmasına katkı sağlar. Ayrıca günümüzde uzaktan eğitimin çok yaygın kullanıldığı göz önüne alınırsa eğitim ve öğretimi zenginleştirmek için bilgisayarla öğretim tekniklerinden olan simülasyon ile animasyon kullanılmalıdır.
