标题：EFFECT OF STUDENT TEAMS-ACHIEVEMENT DIVISIONS TECHNIQUE USED IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION ON SELF-EFFICACY, TEST ANXIETY AND ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT
摘要：The main purpose of this study was to determine the effect of teaching the "Force and Motion" unit of the Science and Technology class using the Student Teams-Achievement Divisions (STAD) technique on self efficacies, test anxiety and academic achievements of seventh grade students. The STAD technique was applied to the experiment group; the existing program based on constructivism to control-1 group, and traditional teaching methods to control-2 group. The analysis of the obtained data was achieved by using the one-way variance analysis (ANOVA). In conclusion, it was determined that the experiment group was more effective than the control groups in respect to self-efficacy and academic achievement. Moreover, significant improvements were obtained in the exam anxiety of the students in the experiment and control-1 groups compared to the group where traditional teaching methods were used.
