The effect of real life related activities on students' attitude and achievement: Unit of energy

The main aim of the research activities associated with real-life physical education located in the power unit of the program is to examine the all effects on students' achievement and attitude Quasi-experimental study was used in this research. In order to measure levels of students before and after application of the corresponding unit "Energy Achievement Test(EBT) " and "Physics Attitude Scale(FDTÖ) '' are used. Achievement test used in the study have been previously applied to 323 high school students who have already learnt the energy unit and the reliability of the applied testing and validity calculated after working or working less material from increased reliability and validity of 0.86 and 0:57. The results after the basic application was carried out in accordance with the necessary corrections. In practice, a control experiment groups were formed. The material is applied to the experimental group and the control group contacts have continued their normal education. Including pretest and posttest it took approximately 7 weeks. Each measurement tool in the analysis of data obtained by applying the sample was performed using SPSS statistical software package programme. Before implementation the control group and the experimental group had same level at the beginning, after implementation there is significant difference in favor of the experimental group. Experimental and control group students, there were no significant differences between the attitudes after implementation. When the experiment persistence and achievement test scores compared to the control group, the retention of information by the teaching methods in teaching methods in the experimental group and the control group can be said as more successful. At the end of the research has developed several recommendations. The research is expected to helping other research in this field.
