The effect of computer assisted environmental instructon on pre-service science teachers? achievement on matter cycle

The purpose of the study was to compare the effect of computer assisted instruction and traditional teaching on students? achievement and attitude towards environment. For this reason, the achievement test, the environment attitude scale and open-ended questions was implemented to students.In this study which is experimental design was conducted pre-test and post-test with experiment and control groups. The study was conducted with 71 pre-service science teachers who have been studying in second year of the science education program.According to statistical analaysis of data, it was found that students in experimental groups? achievement scores were higher than achievement scores of students in controıl group. On the other hand, there was no statistically significant differences between students? attitudes towards environment. Consequently, pre-service science teeachers? ideas about comparision of both methods were gathered and analysed by quantitative and qualitative methods.
