Fractions Teaching for 6th Graders through Creative Drama Method

Öz:

The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of using creativedrama method to teach fractions for secondary school-6th-grade students on theattitude and process. The study group consists of 16 (8 females, 8 males) 6th gradestudents.In the scope of the study, One Group Pretest-Posttest Model was used as apretest model. In the study, “Attitudes Towards Mathematics Scale” (Aşkar, 1986)and “Leader Evaluation Form” which that was developed by the researchers wasused as data collection tools. Workshops towards teaching fractions by usingcreative drama method were carried out in the eight-week period and 23 lecturehour(6 workshops). According to the findings, it can be said that the creative dramaimplementations have had a positive impact on the attitude scores of the students.The results of “Leader Evaluation Form” was determined that the participants tookan active role in the process. The participants contributed more efficiently in theprocess each week. In the improvisation stage, the encounter of participants withexamples from the daily life drew the attention. In this way, it was seen that theircreativity came forward during their participation in the process and it wasobserved that participation in the actives that have a mathematics-based contentwas increased. In the evaluations of the process, participants had correct answers tothe activity papers from the mathematical perspective.
