In this study, a “Sound Unit” from secondary school science courses was provided to eighth gradestudents in accordance with the curriculum using different methods and techniques, and effectsof these methods on student achievement were investigated. A quasi-experimental study designwith pre and post-testing on one control and three experimental groups was used in the study.Lessons were taught to the students in these three experimental groups using computer-assistedteaching techniques including animation and videos (N=35), laboratory activities (N=34) and bothcomputer-assisted teaching techniques and laboratory activities (N=30). Traditional teachingmethods included in the current program were used with the students in the control group(N=34). The implementation took a total of 12 hours (four hours each week for three weeks). Anachievement test consisting of 43 questions developed by the researcher was administered to allgroups before and after the implementation as the pre- and post-tests. Based on the results, thestudents in the computer + laboratory group and those in the laboratory group were significantlymore successful than those in the control group. The computer + laboratory group was the mostsuccessful group. Comparisons of pre- and post-test results revealed a significant increase instudent success for all groups. The results of this study suggest that having the most successfulstudents in the computer + laboratory group was due to the learning by doing and living and theenriched teaching activities.
