The Effectiveness of The Learning Cycle Model to Increase Students’ Achievement In The Physics Laboratory

The aim of this study is to compare “Learning Cycle Model” with the “Traditional” Teaching Method. What is the effect of these methods on the attitude of the teacher candidates towards the physics laboratory? Which method is more successful? In the first section of the study the learning cycle model is introduced and examined the importance of this method in the literature. In the second section, experimental design and research model of the study is determined. After the assessment tools used in order to collect the data from pre-service teachers are introduced, the statistical analysis is applied. The findings obtained from this study are compared with former studies. Some suggestions consist of the results are presented in the end of the study.
