Abstract
The aim of this study is to examine the effects of Vee diagram on the achievements and attitudes of students in science laboratory course-II. Sample consisted of pre-service science teachers (N=59) of science teaching program at Faculty of Education in Afyon Kocatepe University in Turkey. A quasi experimental research was utilized as the research design. The teaching was realized through traditionally laboratory method with the control group, whereas through Vee-diagrams with the experimental group. Pre-service science teachers constructed Vee diagrams for presenting their experiment reports during whole laboratory process. The data were gathered through “Achievement Test (AT)†and “Attitude Scale for Science Laboratory (ASSL)â€. The findings indicated that although there is no significant difference (p>.05) between the pre-test achievement scores of groups, the result of the post-test exhibited that there is a significant difference among groups, which
is favor of the experiment group (p<.05). The findings also indicated that there was no a significant difference between posttest attitude scores of the experimental group and control experimental group (p>.05).
Keywords: Vee diagram, achievement, attitude.
