Hayat bilgisi dersinde karikatürlerle öğretimin öğrenci başarısına etkisi

Abstract

Bu araştırmada, Hayat Bilgisi dersi Benim Eşsiz Yuvam temasının karikatürlerle işlenmesinin öğrenci başarısına etkisi ortaya çıkarılmaya çalışılmıştır.Araştırmada öntest-sontest kontrol gruplu deneysel desen kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın uygulaması, 2009-2010 eğitim öğretim yılı, Tavşanlı ve Tunçbilek Okullarında ki iki ayrı sınıfta 40 öğrenciden oluşan örneklem üzerinde yapılmıştır.Sınıflar belirlenirken ikinci sınıf Hayat Bilgisi dersi karne notları dikkate alınmıştır. Böylece birbirine denk iki sınıf oluşturulmuştur. Tunçbilek İ.Ö.O deney grubu, Tavşanlı Milli Egemenlik İ.Ö.O. kontrol grubu olarak belirlenmiştir. Uygulama öncesi her iki gruba araştırmacı tarafından hazırlanan Hayat Bilgisi dersinin Benim Eşsiz Yuvam isimli temasına uygun, 25 sorudan oluşan çoktan seçmeli başarı testi, ön test olarak uygulanmış ve gruplar arasında anlamlı bir farkın olmadığı gözlenmiştir.Araştırmada modelin uygulanması kapsamında deney grubunda dersler 1. dönem Aralık ayından itibaren 10 hafta boyunca haftada 5 saat, her konunun kazanımlarına uygun olarak hazırlanan karikatürler eşliğinde işlenmiştir. Dersin başında kazanıma uygun olarak verilen karikatür ile derse giriş yapılmış ve dersin devamında da karikatürler kullanılarak etkinlik düzenlenmiştir. Ders sonunda yine karikatürden yararlanılarak değerlendirme yapılmış ve konuların işlenmesi bu şekilde tamamlanmıştır.Kontrol grubunda ise öğretmen karikatür kullanmadan ders işlemiştir. Süreç bitiminde yine her iki gruba süreç başında uygulanan başarı testi son test olarak uygulanmış ve test sonuçlarına SPSS 11.00 istatistik paket programından yararlanılarak çift yönlü anova uygulanmış, gruplar arasında anlamlı bir farklılığın olduğu gözlenmiştir. Test sonuçları incelendiğinde deney grubunun başarı ortalamalarının kontrol grubuna göre daha yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir.Sonuç olarak, Hayat Bilgisi dersinin öğretiminde karikatürden yararlanmanın öğrencilerin ders başarılarını olumlu yönde etkilediği tespit edilmiştir.Anahtar Kelimeler: Hayat Bilgisi dersi, Karikatür, Hayat Bilgisi öğretim programı, Görsel okuma.

After the above stated period, both group had to answer the 25 questions from the pre-test again. The results were then processed and analyzed with the statistic software programme SPSS 11.00 by applying the two-sided variance analysis.
