Abstract:

The aim of this research is to study the academic success of the Science and Technology course in 8th grade students of the "Multimedia-Supported Problem-Based Learning" approach and its impact on the class-to-class attitude. The research was carried out using the semi-experimental pattern of the pre-test-final test control group. The examples of the study were made by 40 students who studied at a high school in the province of Amasya. The subject of "pressure" is processed with the current approach in the N=20 curriculum in the control group and the N=20 in the experiment group with the "Multimedia Supported PDÖ" approach. The "Test of Academic Success on the Theme of Pressure" and the "Square of Attitude Against the Phantom and Technology Course" are applied as the preliminary and final test. Data analysis used Shapiro-Wilks Test, Related Examples t Test, Unrelated Examples t Test, Wilcoxon Test and Kovaryans Analysis. The results show that the PDÖ is more successful in increasing academic success than the current approach in the curriculum. Also, while the study group’s students’ attitudes to the class significantly increased, the control group’s students’ attitudes to the class had no significant difference between the pre-test and the final test points.
