The investigation of the effect of simulation based teaching on the student achievement and attitude in electrostatic induction

AbstractNew software have been developed in educational environments with the continuously development of technology. This software was improved teaching together with student interaction. Simulation was using effective to describe abstract concept in Science Education which learners are in intensive interaction. The aim of this study was to investigate effect of simulation based teaching on the student achievement and attitude which subject of electrostatic induction. For this purpose, control (2 class, 57 person) and experiment (2 class, 59 person) groups were determined. During the 5 lesson period, experiment group were held with the simulation. After the study, it was found that simulations have improved students’ success on subject of induction and there is a significant difference between experimental and control groups. On the other hand, using simulation did not indicate a significant effect on students’ attitudes in this study
