Abstract:

The aim of this work is to examine the effects of vee diagrams, concept maps and diagnostic branched tree on attitudes to mathematics course and success. This analysis has been conducted with 31 students educating from seventh class during 2010-2011 education year. Attitude scale to mathematics course composing of two dimensions developed by researcher, Vee Diagrams, concept maps, diagnostic branched tree, Marks of students have been used as data. Within this research, to analyze qualitative data, t-test and multiple linear regression were used. At the end of the research, statically significant increasing has been designated at points of enjoying math subdimension and significant increasing has not been designated at attitude to problem solving subdimension. In addition, it has been found that marks obtained from math course in which vee diagrams, concept maps and diagnostic branched tree are used are important interpreters on interpreting attitude points achieved from mathematics last test and mathematics success. The most effective interpreter in terms of the effects of interpreter variables on last test attitude points is points achieved from diagnostic branched tree. And the most effective interpreter in terms of the effects on success points is points achieved from vee diagrams
