In this study, the effect of multiple writing activities in teaching "Ecosystem Ecology" subjects on the academic achievements of students was analyzed. The study was conducted in a high school in the Kaynarca district of the Sakarya province in the second term of the 2018-2019 academic years. The sample of the study consists of 48 students studying in the 10th grade. 48 students, which formed the sample, randomly formed Experiment 1 and Experiment 2 groups. While the Experiment 1 group was taught the "Ecosystem Ecology" subjects with traditional teaching methods (direct instruction-catechize), the Experiment 2 group was taught with multiple writing activities. The study is a quantitative research and the data were collected by using pretest-posttest with a quasiexperimental control group. The "Ecosystem Ecology" success testthat was developed by the researcher was applied as the pre-test and post-test in the study as the data collection tool. The obtained data were analyzed by using the SPSS 20 statistical program with Mann Whitney-U Test" and "Wilcoxon Sign Rank Test". Analysis results showed that compared to the traditional teaching method, teaching "Ecosystem Ecology" subjects by using multiple writing activities positively affected the student's success.
Individuals comprising the communities of today need to be have more knowledge, skills and talents in comparison with the past to keep up with the new age and maintain their lives. It is only possible to make the individuals get these information, skills and talents with the application of the methods related to the new teaching and learning processes. Pedagogical and technological improvements arousing in the late years both affect the human life deeply and most importantly learning and teaching fields. In addition, technology is considered to be very important in terms of educational processes that help individuals to solve problems encountered in life, pioneer scientific innovations and facilitate life in one part, as well as in school climate. The aim of this research is to investigate the relationships between e-learning and cooperative learning attitudes of the high school students. Attitude scales of e-learning and cooperative learning were utilized asa data collection tools in the research. The sample of the investigation comprises of 415 high school students from three schools in the province of Sakarya whom are 215 female and 200 male.The problem of the investigation was analysed by the use of "Pearson Moment Correlation" and "Structural Equation Model".Results show that there is a positive and significant relationship between the scores of students' e-learning attitude and the scores of students' cooperative learning attitude. Moreover, the findings gathered from Structural Equation Model demonstrate that coopeartive learning predicts positively the sub-dimensions of e-learning. These results were discussed in frame of the related literature.
The success of the students in the physics lab depends on their general physics achievement, the physics lesson performance in high school and the test scores. In addition, the success of students in the physics lab was influenced by the students' physics lab attitudes and non-cognitive variables such as anxiety and self-efficacy beliefs. Therefore, the main purpose of this study is to indicate structural equation modeling on self-efficacy, physics lab anxiety and attitudes. In this research, 513 university students participated, and three scales were used to data collection including Self-efficacy Scale, Physics Lab Anxiety Scale (P-LAS), and Physics Lab Attitudes Scale. In correlation analysis, physics lab anxiety was found negatively related to physics lab attitudes and self-efficacy. According to path analysis results, physics lab attitudes were predicted positively by self-efficacy. Furthermore, self-efficacy and physics lab attitudes were predicted by physics lab anxiety in a negative way. The study revealed that high self-efficacy and positive attitudes toward physics decreases physics lab anxiety. The findings were discussed using the literature in this field.
