MODELLING THE EFFECTS OF SELECTED AFFECTIVE FACTORS ON LEARNING STRATEGIES AND CLASSROOM ACTIVITIES IN SCIENCE EDUCATION

GENC, Murat/0000-0002-9742-1770WOS: 000408589700013It is well known affective, cognitive and psychomotor factors have positive effects on science learning process. All these factors have interaction between themselves. So it is important to research what is the size and direction of these interactions. The aim of this research is to analyze the effects of value, attitude and self-efficacy on active learning strategies and classroom activities using Structural Equation Model. The research was conducted by the analysis of students' answers to questionnaires data using Structural Equation Modelling. Initially KMO and Bartlett's tests were done to test appropriateness of scale to factor analysis. Then theoretical structural model was tested using LISREL. At the end of the SEM test, it was found that there are positive effects of selected affective factors on learning strategies and classroom activities.Duzce University Coordination of Scientific Research ProjectsDuzce University [2016.10.02.513]This research was conducted within the scope of the project named "The importance of science learning value, attitude, self-efficacy, active learning strategies and classroom activities for secondary students' science learning" with the number 2016.10.02.513 which is supported by Duzce University Coordination of Scientific Research Projects.
