Özet:

The aim of this research is to study the effects of active learning in primary education and traditional teaching on geometric achievements and durability of students. The research has used an experimental research model with the pre-test-sontest control group. The method of active learning is used in experimental groups and the method of traditional teaching is used in control groups. The study was carried out in the 2004-2005 educational year, with 93 students studying in the Buca primary school, associated with the İzmir or Buca district, in 4th class, 106 students in 5th class, a total of 199 students. The research has adopted qualitative research approaches. The research data was collected through the mathematical success test. In the analysis of the quantitative data of the study, arithmetic average, standard sapma, variance analysis, t test and Kay-quare (χ2) test were used. This study found that the active learning method was more effective in increasing the student’s success in the geometry course than the traditional teaching method, and that the durability level in the experimental group where the active learning methods and techniques were applied was higher than the control group.
