ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT
This study aimed to examine the effect of the cooperation-based learning method upon the academic success of students and their attitudes toward courses, combine the influence quantity of studies being presented with experimental methods and investigate whether or not the influence quantity to be acquired would differentiate according to the publication types, class levels of students, subject areas of courses where the studies were conducted and the application period via the meta-analysis method. In this context, the studies being approached were conducted between 2005-2014 and the meta-analysis study involved 30 studies (46 comparisons) in accordance with the coding protocol investigating the effect of the cooperation-based learning method upon the academic success of students in Turkey, as well as 15 studies (19 comparisons) in accordance with the coding protocol investigating the effect of the cooperation-based learning method upon the attitudes of students toward courses in Turkey. As a result of the study, it was revealed that the cooperation-based learning method had a positive but moderate effect upon the academic success of students (d=0.694) and a positive but lower effect upon their attitudes towards courses (d=0.210).

Çalışmada işbirliğine dayalı öğrenme yönteminin öğrencilerin akademik başarılarına ve derse yönelik tutumlarına etkisini, deneysel yöntemlerle ortaya koyan çalışmaların etki büyüklüklerinin birleştirilmesi amaçlanmış ve elde edilecek etki büyüklüğünün yapılan yayın türlerine, öğrencilerin öğrenim gördüğü sınıf düzeylerine, çalışmaların yapıldığı derslerin konu alanlarına ve uygulama sürelerine göre farklılık gösterip göstermediğinin meta-analiz yöntemiyle araştırılması hedeflenmiştir. Bu bağlamda ele alınan çalışmalar 2005-2014 yılları arasında yapılmış işbirliğine dayalı öğrenme yönteminin öğrencilerin akademik başarısı üzerine etkisini araştıran kodlama protokolüne uygun Türkiye’de yapılmış 30 adet çalışma (46 karşılaştırma) ve işbirliğine dayalı öğrenme yönteminin öğrencilerin derse yönelik tutumları üzerine etkisini araştıran kodlama protokolüne uygun Türkiye’de yapılmış 15 adet çalışma (19 karşılaştırma) meta-analiz çalışmasına dâhil edilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda, işbirliğine dayalı öğrenme yönteminin öğrencilerin akademik başarısı üzerinde pozitif fakat orta düzeyde bir etkiye (d=0.694) sahip olduğu, derse yönelik tutumu üzerinde ise pozitif fakat küçük düzeyde bir etkiye (d=0.210) sahip olduğu ortaya konulmuştur.
