Effects of Using the Learning Stations Technique to Teach the Electrical Current Topic on Students’ Physics Subject Performance

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of using the learning stations technique in teaching about the electrical current on students’ physics course achievement. The sample of the experimental study designed with a pretest-posttest model consists of 50 10th grade students studying in a Science High School in Trabzon, in the 2016-2017 academic year. A multiple-choice achievement test with .80 reliability coefficient was used as the data collection tool. The obtained data were analyzed by applying the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks test in SPSS 20.00 program and a statistically significant difference was found between the experimental and control group achievement test scores in favor of the experimental group, which indicates that the learning stations technique practices performed to teach about the electrical current are effective in increasing the 10th grade students’ physics course achievements.

Learning stations in enhancing remedial pupils’ basic numeracy post-pandemic: A case study

“…In other classrooms, stations might be more curriculum-based, like in science, where they might involve experiments, data gathering, recording, and analysis, among other things (Tomlinson, 2017). With the clear guidelines, pupils use the learning stations to complete a series of learning tasks in places established during the teaching and learning process either independently and collaboratively, in order to learn or evaluate a topic (Batman et al, 2019). It is a student-centered approach in which the class is split into teams and the subgroups are instructed to contribute to the projects completed by earlier groups and to accomplish partial projects (Tomlinson, 2017).…”

Pengembangan Diktat Fisika Berbasis Problem Based Learning untuk Meningkatkan Kemampuan Berpikir Kritis Peserta Didik

“…Salah satu elemen dalam RPP adalah sumber belajar. Berdasarkan hal tersebut guru diharapkan untuk mengembangkan bahan ajar sebagai salah satu sumber belajar [7], [8]. Kemampuan pendidik dalam merancang bahan ajar menjadi hal yang sangat berperan dalam menentukan keberhasilan proses belajar dan pembelajaran melalui sebuah bahan ajar [9].…”
