Study design: Clinical Trial
Abstract: The aim of this study is to analyze the effects of animation and WebQuest teaching methods on students’ academic achievement and retention of the learned knowledge. One control and two experimental groups were used in this quasi-experimental study. 94 students participated in the study, 32 of which were in the experimental group 1 taught by using WebQuest, 31 in the experimental group 2 taught by using animation, and 31 in the control group which was taught through traditional teaching. The study was carried out in the fall semester of 2017-2018 academic year in a secondary school (with middle socioeconomic level students) located in Ankara. The academic achievement test, which was prepared by the researcher, was applied to all three groups as the pre-test, post-test, and retention test. The findings revealed that the teaching method, applied in three different groups whose learning level was equivalent at the beginning of the study, affected academic achievement to different degrees. The analysis of the post-test data indicates that animation and WebQuest teaching methods have a similar effect on increasing academic success. On the other hand, the WebQuest teaching method has emerged as the most effective method for remembering the information learned.
