Abstract:

The aim of this study is to analyze and examine the effect of constructivist approach practices on attitude with the mixed-meta method. The mixed-meta method is defined as a method based on document analysis, which requires the analysis of relevant data with both meta-analysis and meta-thematic analysis. In the meta-analysis part of the current study, the quantitative data obtained were examined and the analysis was carried out with the CMA program. By looking at the effect size value (g=0.411) obtained as a result of the analysis, it was concluded that the constructivist approach practices had a moderate and positive effect on the attitude. In the meta-thematic analysis part made for the analysis of qualitative data, various themes and the codes forming these themes were obtained as a result of the evaluation of the studies reached by document analysis with content analysis. The effects of constructivist approach applications on learning environments, contribution to group work, positive effects on learning outcomes and effects on learning process are the themes that have been created. From the codes revealing these themes, it has been understood that constructivist approach applications have many positive effects such as enabling research, developing cooperative group spirit, increasing self-confidence and addressing different learning styles.
