Özet:

V-diagrams which one of the new learning and alternative assessment strategies in science education. In this study, has been investigated effect of v-diagram on understanding of Newton's laws of motion and attitude towards physics laboratory in preservice physics teachers. The participants are 73 physics students enrolling to the art-science faculty physics program of Suleyman Demirel University in Turkey. The participants of the study took Mechanics Laboratory-II course in 2008â€"2009 fall semester. In the study which was done with a pre-test post-test experimental-control group design, experimental group courses were done laboratory reports with v-diagram, the control group's courses were done laboratory reports classical methods. It has been used Attitude Scale towards Physics Laboratory (ASPL) and Newton Conceptual Understanding Test (NCUT) for determining data. After the fourteen weeks of application, the results of study emerged, v-diagram has caused to more increase understanding of Newtonian law of motion than classical laboratory reports, but not difference at attitude towards physics laboratory.
