THE EFFECT OF MATHEMATIC EDUCATION, WHICH IS BASED ON BRAIN BASED LEARNING THEORY, ON ACADEMIC SUCCESS AND ATTITUDE

Abstract

This thesis observes the success of 6th grade secondary school students on the topic of fractions with the help of brain based learning and it observes the level of its effects on mathematic course. Pre-test and Post-test control group experimental design is used in this search. The search is carried out of total 30 course hours. In order to collect data achievement test,attitude test, cerebral dominance test and interview form are used in the search.The data which are derived from the search, are analysed with Spss 17.0. In the analysing of statistical data, after searching the normality of the data t-test is used both in control and experimental group. The obtained data from the applied analyses; In the last test markings between the control and the experimental group, the success is statistically different in a clear level for the benefit of the experimental group.In the last test markings between the control and the experimental group,the attitude is statistically different in a clear level for the benefit of the experimental group.Furthermore, In the meetings it is understood that the students have positive ideas on the course practices which based on brain based learning method.
