The Learning Effects of "Products Creation" Method in a Lesson Unit : Teaching Sounds in the First Grade of Lower Secondary School

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to examine the learning effects of the "products creations" method through teaching sounds to first graders of a lower secondary school. In order to test these effects, we compared an experimental group's lessons using the "products creations" method and a control group's lessons using materials prepared by the teacher. As a result, it was found that "the products creations" method produced the following two effects: 1) students could construct scientific concepts more accurately, and 2) students discovered many new problems to be solved.
