Özet:

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of the technology supported science education on the academic achievement and attitudes toward science of students. It was an experimental study with pre-test and post-test control group. The participants for this study consisted of 44 (Experimental, n=25 and Control, n=19) middle 6th grade students in Turkey. The data of the research was collected by the science academic achievement test (SAAT) and the attitude toward science test (ATST). The data was analyzed by statistical package for the social sciences (SPSS) program. “Technology Supported Learning Method” was applied to the experimental group and “Traditional Teaching Method” was used for control group. The results indicated that there was a significant difference between experimental and control group. SAAT and ATST levels of average in experimental and control groups provided better results for the experimental group. As a result of applying both methods, not only experimental groups of students but also the ones in control group could learn the science knowledge.However technology supported learning had a positive impact on students’ attitudes toward science and increased science academic achievement.
