{"title":"The Effect of Teaching with Traditional Children's Games on the Attitudes of 5th Grade Students to Geometry","authors":"Ali Osman ENGİN, Filiz DÜNDAR, Mustafa Çağrı ENGİN","doi":"10.30786/jef.1252643","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.30786/jef.1252643","url":null,"abstract":"This study aims to define whether geometry teaching was carried out with the help of traditional children's games for middle school 5th-grade students. In other words, it was tried to understand if it affected students' attitudes towards geometry while keeping traditional children's games alive and their importance in general education and teaching activities. This study was quantitative, and \"a pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design with paired control group\" was used. The results were handed with the \"Attitude Scale Towards Geometry\" in the 2021 and 2022 education year. The scale was developed by Ozmen (2019), and while operating this scale, Ozmen benefited from Bindak's (2004) \"examination of students' attitudes and behaviors towards geometry.\" The study group of the research was composed of 42 5th-grade students in total in two classes, including 21 students each. They had education at a state secondary school in the Nusaybin district of Mardin. One of these classes was defined as the experimental group, and the other one as the control group. In the experimental group of the research, the geometry subject of measuring area and length was handled with 5 traditional children's games, and the same subject was taught by using traditional/old methods in the control group. Dependent and independent t-test was used to reveal if the application to the experimental group significantly affected students' attitudes toward geometry. According to the t-tests' result, it may be said that the use of traditional and cultural children's games used in the experimental group developed academic success more than the control group in which the traditional/old methods were used. So, it can be thought that using traditional and cultural child games in geometry lessons developed students' academic success.

The data were collected via Google forms using a demographic information form and the “Digital Parenting Attitude Scale” developed by İnan Kaya et al. and analyzed utilizing Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis H tests. The findings revealed that the parents with children aged 11-15 years, with children using technological devices for 8 hours or more, and not supervising or restricting their children in the use of technological tools had a significantly stronger approval attitude toward the effective use of digital media. It was also found that parents with children watching TV the most, thinking that their children excessively use technological tools, and always supervising and restricting their children had a significantly stronger protective attitude against the risks of digital media.

Digital story education was applied online for ten weeks in the form of a two-hour lesson. The data of the study were collected through the Self-Efficacy Scale for the English Language, the English Language Achievement Test for Teacher Candidates, and the English Language Teaching Interview Questions with Digital Stories. It has been determined that English education with digital stories increases the self-efficacy and achievement of teacher candidates after the education compared to before the education. In addition, it was determined that the teacher candidates who received English education with digital stories increased their awareness about digital stories; they described the education as fun, economical and instructive, and stated that they had a positive opinion in general. As a result, it is recommended to prefer English education with digital stories when it is desired to improve self-efficacy, achievement, and digital story experiences.","PeriodicalId":41358,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Education and Future-Egitim ve Gelecek Dergisi","volume":"23 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136312580","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The research was carried out in relational survey model. In the study, data were collected from 605 teachers working in public / state schools in Istanbul in the 2020-2021 academic year, with the help of School Effectiveness Index and Marmara Agile Leadership Scale. According to the prominent findings, while the agile leadership characteristics of the school principals do not make a significant difference according to the gender, education level, seniority and age of the teachers, according to the school levels they create a significant difference. While school effectiveness perceptions of teachers’ do not show a significant difference according to their gender and education level; It has been determined that there are significant differences according to the school levels, ages and seniority of the teachers.
