The weekly quests on the subject were applied to the experiment group for 6 weeks with the Kahoot and Quizizz tools, while the control group was applied on paper. At the beginning and end of the application process, the Student Materials Motivation Survey (ÖMMA) has been applied to determine the levels of motivation with the Class Participation Reserve to determine the students’ participation levels.
