The Effect Of Cooperative Learning Method On Physics Lesson Success Of The Students With Different Learning Styles

The purpose of this study is investigated to students who have different learning style preferences whether equally benefit from cooperative learning process. The participants of the study consist of 36 students who are attending to Physics III lesson in Dokuz Eylul University Education Faculty of Buca. In the research which was arranged with one group pretest-posttest model, the students were attended to the cooperative groups according to their academic success. The “Perceptual Learning Style Inventory” and “Electric Units Achievement Test” were used for collecting the research’s data.
