Journal Title: Journal of Computer and Education Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 7
Abstract
The aim of this research are to determine the effectiveness of Student Teams-Achievement Division (STAD) and Reading-Writing-Application (RWA) methods of cooperative learning model on academic achievement at the unit of 7th Level “The Structure of Matter and Properties” and students’ views related to methods. The sample of this research are 102 students from two different secondary school in Ağrı. As data collecting tools, Pre-Knowledge Test (PKT), Academic Achievement Test (AAT) and Scale Methods Views (SMV) is used. For the analysis of the obtained data, one-way variance analysis (ANOVA) was used for pre- test and analysis covariance (ANCOVA) for academic achievement test because of significant differences in the groups’ pre- test. Descriptive statistics for students’ views about methods are used. It was found that RWA and STAD have similar effects on students’ academic achievement and students instructed with these techniques are more successful than students instructed with teacher centered instruction.
