The Effects of Group Activities on Social Studies Education via Constructivist Approach

Bu çalışmanın amacı, bir ilköğretim okulunda beşinci sınıf sosyal bilgiler dersinde oluşturmacı yaklaşıma dayalı çok yönlü grup aktivitelerinin öğrenciler üzerindeki etkisini belirlemektir. 54 öğrencinin katıldığı bu çalışmada, deney grubunda oluşturmacı yaklaşıma dayalı ders işlenirken, diğer grupta etkinlikler önceki gibi devam etmiştir. Hem niceliksel hem de niteliksel verilerin yer aldığı çalışmada basan testi, tutum ölçeği, akademik benlik kavramı, gözlem ve görüşme sonuçlarından yararlanılmıştır. Niceliksel veriler MANCOVA analizi yapılarak analiz edilmiştir. Ön test ve akademik benlik kavramı puanlan istatistiksel olarak kontrol edildiğinde, öğrencilerin son test ve tutumlannda deney grubu lehine anlamlı farklar meydana gelmiştir. Gözlem ve görüşme sonuçlan bu sonuçları desteklemektedir.
