Abstract:

This study aims to use the 7E learning model integrated with creative drama to determine their effects on the success of physics teacher candidates. Lesson plans were prepared on the topic of ‘magnetic fields’, which combined the 7E learning model with creative drama. These plans were put into practice using 16 physics teacher candidates. A magnetic fields topic achievement test and semi-structured interview forms were used as data collection tools for the research. Based upon the findings of the magnetic fields topic achievement test, the 7E learning model integrated with creative drama increased the success of the physics teacher candidates. In the interviews, it was found that almost all of the incorrect and incomplete information initially given by the students had been replaced by correct information. For these reasons, it can be concluded that the integrated use of creative drama with the 7E learning model increased the general success of the teacher candidates.
