Abstract:

One of the techniques used in educational environment for qualitative learning out come is station technique. There are, however, some principles to observe while using this method. The most important of these is that behaviours to be imparted may be those of applications and higher levels. Educational environments may be further enriched by using a variety of these. The aim of this study is to examine that what kind of cognitive, affective and psychomotor behavioral had been developed in students due to the station technique. To achieve goals while studying lessons with station technique, answers to following questions had been searched. 1. What are the feelings of students on studying lessons with station technique? 2. What are the ideas of students on the differences between studying lessons with station technique and studying lessons with other tecniques and methods? 3. According to students, studying lessons with station technique improves which feelings, thinking, and skill ? To sum up, students attributed the following positive characteristics to the learning station technique: Enhancing creativity; imparting high-level cognitive and sensory skills; improving collaborative peer work; continuing with what has been started earlier by others; opportunities for group work which contribute to building trust and friendship. Students also grasped that time had its specific importance in this technique. They learned through experience that it was necessary to think well, decide and put this decision into practice within a given time period. On the basis of these, it can be stated that students liked and adopted the technique which facilitated the solution of their daily problems. This method should be taught to teachers with practical application. There may be studies covering other courses too by using this specific method.
