Abstract:

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of brain-based learning-based practices on students' permanent learning in teaching parts of speech. In this study, a pre-test post-test control group research design was used. The study group consisted of 66 students studying in the 6th grade of Mehmet Akif Ersoy Secondary School in the city center of Trabzon. With an unbiased sampling method, one of the groups was assigned as a control group (32) the other was as an experimental group (34). In the experimental group, parts of speech were processed with brain-based learning applications, whereas in the control group, they were treated with traditional methods. Applications lasted eight weeks. 'Personal Information Form' (PIF) and 'Parts of Speech Achievement Test' (PSAT) were used as data collection tools. In the analysis of the data, descriptive statistical methods, ANOVA for mixed measurements, and single-factor ANOVA techniques were used. As a result of the study, a significant difference was found in favor of experimental group students in which brain-based learning-based applications were made. However, when the last test and retention test scores of the groups were examined, it was observed that the rate of forgetting in the control group was less than in the experimental group.
