Özet
The main goal of this study is to present the significant difference between utilization of simulations of physics experiment during lectures and traditional physics lecture. Two groups of 115 students were selected for the purpose of the study. The same subjects have been taught to both groups, while a group of 115 had their lectures in science and technology class supported by physics experiment simulations for a month, the other group of 115 had their lectures in a traditional way. The research has been conducted in Izzet 'Inver highs school in Istanbul, Gungoren. The main resource of this research is the data collected through surveys. The survey is a result of the literature and the suggestions of the experts on the topic. Thirty questions were prepared under ten topics. Two different surveys were conducted during the data collection. While the first survey questions focused on the effects of traditional lecturing on students, the second survey questions were targetirtg the effects of lecturing via the support of psychics experiment simulations. The data collected as a result of the survey which was coded in to SPSS Software and statistical analyses was conducted. In order to test the significant difference between the means t-test was utilized. 0.05 was chosen as the significance level. As a result of the analyses utilized, significant differences were found in their satisfaction on class materials, in their motivation, in their learning speed, in their interest in the class, and in their contribution to the class. In findings such as the effect on students' learning, information availability, organization of information, students' integration to the class and gaining different point of views lectures supported by physics experiment simulations is significantly different from traditional lecturing. As the result of the literature review and the statistical analyses, lectures supported via physics experiment simulations seem to be more effective than traditional lecturing in science classes, in issues such as variability of approaches, student concept delusions, laboratory applications, utilization of information technologies and simulations.
