@article{2015,title={THE INFLUENCE OF 5E LEARNING CYCLE MODEL ON 6th GRADE STUDENTS’ GEOMETRIC ACHIEVEMENT and VAN HIELE GOMETRIC THINKING LEVELS},abstractNode={The aim of this study is to determine the effects of 5E Model based activities on the 6th grade students' geometric achievement and Van Hiele geometric thnking levels. The research has been performed throughout 2014 spring semester at a primary school in Sivas. 40 students participated to this study in two different sections of 6th grade class of the school. Experiment and control groups were choosen randomly from these sections. The courses was performed using teaching activities of traditional teaching methods for control group and course activities planned by 5E teaching model for experiment group througout five weeks. Pre-test and post-test control groups were used in the research. Angle, polygon, transformation geometry chapters achievement test and Van Hiele geometric test were performed as pre-test and post-test. Data obtained at the end of this study is evaluated using SPSS packet program. It was examined that whether there is a meaningful difference between pre-test and post-test average points using t-test for data analysis. Analysis results show that 5E Model based activities have a positive influence on the 6th grade students' geometric achievement and Van Hiele geometric thnking levels.},author={Ahmet YILDIZ-- Hasan ES},year={2015},journal={The Journal of International Educational Sciences}}
