摘要:The aim of this study was to compare The Exchange of Knowledge Method (EKM) to teacher centered teaching methods on learning success and the recall level. This study was conducted with 54 students, randomly assigned into two groups; an experimental group and a control group. The Exchange of Knowledge Method was given experimental group as a instruction method. The control group continued their math education as usual where the teaching method was teacher centered training. “Achievement Test” prepared from one of the units in a seventh grade math class were given both groups , as a pre-test, post-test and recall test. To analyze the scores received, the two groups were compared by using t-test. Also, the students in the experimental group were given the “The Exchange Of Knowledge Method Questionnaire” after the training to obtain the viewpoints of the participants. The teacher was asked to give an opinion about this method. Consequently, the data did not provide statistically significant evidence for a difference in the performance of students who received instruction through EKM (The Exchange of Knowledge Method ) and teacher centered learning method, except for the recall level. Also, it was found that most of the students in the experimental group and the experimental classroom teacher held positive views about The Exchange of Knowledge Method.
