Özet:

The purpose of the study was to examine the effect of brain-based learning approach on attitude in seventh grade students' science classes. The pre/post-test control group experimental design was used in this study. The research was conducted with one experimental group and two control groups in 2005-2006 academic years. The study took place during the teaching of "Work-Energy" of the science course with totally 91 students. The attitude questionnaire was used to examine students' attitude towards science in the research. In the experimental group, students were taught according to the brain-based learning approach, while in control groups' students were taught according to the traditional method. The results indicate that, while traditional method is not effective to develop students' attitude, brain-based learning approach has a very important impact to develop students' attitude toward science.
