LEARNING FRUIT AND VEGETABLES IN PRIMARY SCHOOL

Abstract

The development levels of the societies are closely related to the education and training programs they use. The ability of students to reflect and use what they have learned in daily life shows success in education. The materials to be used in the life studies lesson should be prepared in accordance with the content of the subject and the class level. On the other hand, each child's learning style is different. Therefore, it will be difficult for both the instructor and the learner to teach the lessons to the students with a single pattern method. In the study, the learning styles of primary school third grade students in life studies lessons about "fruits and vegetables" with technological, traditional, and general content are examined. The results show that when students receive technology education, it has been found that they learn more effectively than traditional methods. In the post-test, the knowledge score difference between the two groups was calculated as 2.00. While the two group scores were equal in the pre-test, a statistically significant difference occurred between the groups at the end of the education. Life studies lessons enable children to get to know and perceive their immediate surroundings better. In this context, it is important that students take an active role in what is taught. Today's children's curiosity for technology can bore them with traditional methods. Therefore, it is necessary to give opportunities to new methods and technology in the education system as conditions permit. In this practice, it has been concluded that the education of students with technology is better than the traditional learning method. According to my researcher identity, who is an objective observer, the students have been more successful and more enthusiastic in the lessons they take active roles in and the lessons in which technology is used. It was concluded that technological materials were used in life studies lessons in terms of permanence of information and ease of learning.
