Özet:

 In this study, the aim was to examine the effects of teaching the 6th grade science course Force and Motion unit with Lego Robotics applications on students academic achievement. A quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group was used. The sample consisted of 48 students experimental group N24 and control group N24 who were studying in the 6th grade of a state school affiliated with the Ministry of National Education in Erzurum province. The achievements in the Force and Motion unit, determined by the Ministry of National Education served as the basis for the study. The science lesson was carried out with activities in the control group as specified in the curriculum, and with the students in the experimental group, it was supported by Lego Robotics applications. To collect research data, the Academic Achievement Test ABT developed by Bozdoğan and Kavcı 2016, consisting of 24 multiple-choice questions, was used. This measurement tool was administered to both groups at the beginning and end of the study. The data obtained from the groups were analyzed using the SPSS package program. Descriptive statistics of the data such as frequency, mean, and percentage were calculated. Additionally, the t-test, one of parametric test, was used to analyze the normally distributed data. In cases where a significant difference was found, the effect value was calculated in order to comment on the size of the difference. The analysis of the pre-tests revealed that the study was conducted with two groups with similar academic achievement levels. It was concluded that additionally supporting the experimental group with Lego Robotics applications caused the academic success of the students to increase further. This study revealed the necessity of using lego robotic applications effectively in science lessons.

 Bu çalışmada, 6. sınıf fen bilimleri dersi Kuvvet ve Hareket ünitesinin Lego Robotik uygulamaları ile işlenmesinin öğrencilerin akademik başarılarına etkisinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Öntest-sontest kontrol gruplu yarı deneysel desen kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklemini Erzurum ilinde Milli Eğitim Bakanlığına bağlı bir devlet okulunun 6. sınıfında öğrenim gören 48 öğrenci deney grubu N24 ve kontrol grubu N24 oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmada Milli Eğitim Bakanlığı tarafından belirlenen Kuvvet ve Hareket ünitesindeki kazanımlar temel alınmıştır. Fen bilimleri dersi, kontrol grubundaki öğrencilerle öğretim programında belirtildiği şekilde etkinliklerle, deney grubundaki öğrencilerle ise Lego Robotik uygulamaları ile desteklenerek yürütülmüştür. Araştırma verilerini toplamak için Bozdoğan ve Kavcı 2016 tarafından geliştirilen ve 24 çoktan seçmeli sorudan oluşan Akademik Başarı Testi ABT kullanılmıştır. Bu ölçme aracı her iki gruba da çalışmanın başında ve sonunda uygulanmıştır. Gruplardan elde edilen veriler SPSS paket programı kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Verilerin frekans, ortalama ve yüzde gibi tanımlayıcı istatistikleri hesaplanmıştır. Ayrıca normal dağılım gösteren verilerin analizinde parametrik testlerden t-testi kullanılmıştır. Anlamlı bir farkın bulunduğu durumlarda, farkın büyüklüğü hakkında yorum yapabilmek için etki değeri hesaplanmıştır. Ön testlerin analizi sonucunda, çalışmanın benzer akademik başarı düzeyine sahip iki grupla yürütüldüğü anlaşılmıştır. Deney grubunun ek olarak Lego Robotik uygulamaları ile desteklenmesinin öğrencilerin akademik başarılarının daha da artmasına neden olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Bu çalışma, lego robotik uygulamalarının fen derslerinde etkin bir şekilde kullanılmasının gerekliliğini ortaya koymuştur.
