TECHNOLOGY SUPPORTED CONSTRUCTIVISM BASED COLLABORATIVE GROUP RESEARCH METHODS IN SCIENCE EDUCATION
Abstract :
Definitely; classroom courses should be organized with respect to activities that students could able to organize their knowledge and abilities to apply actively and develop investigated and examined data characteristically in learning process. In this research; an experimental study design were organized regarding fundamental principles of constructivism, integration of technology with constructivist strategies and roles of instructor and learner in teaching process. Primary school, Science and Technology lesson, topic “Genetical Engineering and Biotechnology” were thought in technology supported web based instruction within group research and discussion methods. Students in experimental group have studied with computer supported investigations, animations, discussions, presentations and practice themes with online experiments. Bran storming was also applied as interactive discussion techniques. Instructional accomplishment was evaluated qualitatively by group yields and quantitatively by “achievement test”, attitude scale towards biotechnologies” and “attitude scale toward technology based instruction”. Results are analyzed and interpreted.
