Abstract:

Many researchers and thinkers have emphasized the importance of learning. According to most educators, it is necessary to establish a relationship between the concepts in order to realize meaningful learning. This study aims to investigate the impact of the use of learning styles in the teaching of Social Information lessons on the student's conceptual development. The universe of study is formed by 112 primary school fourth-class students studying at the Atikali Primary School associated with the National Education Directorate of Fatih Province of Istanbul. Students are conducted by the researcher by dividing the study into two in the form of a experimental group and a control group. First, students were applied to the "Marmara Learning Styles Scale". The "Call Relationship Test" prepared by the researcher was then applied as a preliminary test. During the creation of the Word Relationship Test, the fourth class "People, Places and Environments" in the Social Information Teaching Program has used twelve concepts that are planned to be obtained at the level of entry, development and strengthening in the learning field. For seven weeks, the course was processed according to the curriculum prepared according to the learning styles in the experimental group while the course was processed following the curriculum in the control group. Then the "Call Relationship Test" was applied as the last test. SPSS 18.0 is used in the analysis of the collected quantum data. The significance of the results of the final test of the students in the experiment and control group was studied according to the results of the "independent t test" and a significant differentiation between the results of the final test was found in favour of the experiment group. The average success rate of students in the experimental group was higher than the average success rate of students in the control group. This situation shows that the program implemented within the research framework is effective.
