Özet
The aim of this study is to 1) apply the "system dynamics approach" in a "Science and Technology" course that is being instructed to 7th grade middle school students in Istanbul, Turkey; 2) determine problems of field applications; 3) improve negative attitudes of students towards specific skills (like understanding causal relationships 4) provide more effective tools of learning and teaching, respectively for students and teachers. In this research, the experimental design pre-post test with a control group is employed. The study was conducted with 81 students in middle schools in Istanbul, Turkey. Assessment tool is used: "Cause-Effect Relationship Scale". Improvements that stem from system dynamics are observed in the tests that measure capability of understanding causal relationships. However, in the boundaries of the research, no significant level of improvements was observed in the perceived understanding of causal relationships. © IDOSI Publications, 2013.
