Abstract:

In this study, these methods were compared by teaching with the traditional teaching method and the drama method of the unit "Solar System and Beyond: Space Knowledge". The study was attended by 44 high school 7th grade students who studied in a public school in the Fishesir province in the 2014-2015 teaching year. The study used a semi-experimental pattern with pre-test, final test, control group from experimental models. As a data collection tool, half-configured conversation questions have been used with our World and the Universe Success Test. According to the analysis of the study data, our World and the Universe Success Test scores have been found to be statistically significantly different to the benefit of the experiment group and the drama method has been found to increase the student success. It has also been determined that the final test scores of male students studying with the drama method have increased significantly compared to the male students in the control group.
