Abstract:

The purpose of this research is to investigate the effect of animation based values education program on achievement, attitude toward lesson and informatics ethics values and retention. In the research; experimental, control and placebo group, (pre-test, post-test and retention test) were used as quasi-experimental design. The study group of the research consisted of three 11th grade classes, whose achievement levels are ‘moderate’ and which were educated in the branches of IT of a vocational high school in Aydın. Pre-test before the implementation of the programs and post-test after the implementation of the programs were applied. Two months after the implementation of the programs, retention test and two months after the implementation of retention test were applied to the groups. In this research, quantitative data were collected by measurement tools (Graphics And Animation Lesson Achievement Test, An Attitude Scale Towards Graphics And Animation Lesson, An Attitude Scale for Values in Informatics). In the analysis of quantitative data, one-way ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis H tests were used to measure intergroup differences. According to the findings; at the end of the implementation process, the students of the experimental group, applied animation based values education program, were found to be better in terms of both achievement, attitude towards lesson and informatics ethics values than control and placebo group students and was found to be statistically significant. As a result of research, it can be suggested to teachers to deliver animation based lessons, give animation preparation homeworks to students and inform students about the ethics values of informatics by having different cases from daily life.
