Effects of Using the Learning Stations Technique to Teach the Electrical Current Topic on Students’ Physics Subject Performance

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of using the learning stations technique in teaching about the electrical current on students’ physics course achievement. The sample of the experimental study designed with a pretest-posttest model consists of 50 10th grade students studying in a Science High School in Trabzon, in the 2016-2017 academic year. A multiple-choice achievement test with .80 reliability coefficient was used as the data collection tool. The obtained data were analyzed by applying the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks test in SPSS 20.00 program and a statistically significant difference was found between the experimental and control group achievement test scores in favor of the experimental group, which indicates that the learning stations technique practices performed to teach about the electrical current are effective in increasing the 10th grade students’ physics course achievements
