Abstract

The aim of the study is to examine the effect of the Peer Instruction Method on student attitude towards the physics course at high school level. The sample of the research consists of 61 students who are studying in two different 10th grade branches at Erzurum Anatolian Religious Vocational High School. The experimental group was taught electricity subject with the Peer Instruction Method whereas the control group was taught the same subject with the traditional method. Quantitative and qualitative analysis methods were used together in the study. Quantitative findings were obtained by applying the Attitude Test Towards Electricity as pre-test and post-test in both groups. In addition, qualitative findings were obtained by gathering the written opinions of the students in the experimental group about the Peer Instruction Method. It was seen that the method did not affect the students' attitude towards electricity subject significantly.
