Özet:
According to the most widely-accepted definition, mentation is a process of producing
different thoughts through analyzing, comparing and associating information and
concepts in order to get to a result. The mental product produced as a result of these
processes is called “thought”. Over the years, the importance of mentation training is
discovered on this issue; seminars and conferences started to be organized by
specialists, many books have been written on the importance of mentation. As a
consequence of the many studies carried out on mentation training, a co-decision is
made on integrating the problem-solving and decision-making skills, which are valued
within the frame of mentation training, into primary school curriculum. It can be said
that various stimulants that students are exposed to within education system revealed
the need of students for experience on mentation.
Since social studies course brings up so many life-related topics into lessons, it is an
issue of concern what influence the context of mentation training course will have on
the skills in Social Studies course.
Various mentation methods which are also used in Social Studies course will be
analyzed in its effects on the Social Studies successes of students who are expected to
acquire 24 mentation skills in the literature and the relation and similarities of the two
lessons will be scrutinized in the extent of acquisition through interpreting the obtained
results.
In the study, true experimental method is used as an experimental method, and of the
true experimental methods, “pretest – posttest control group design” is applied. For this
purpose, experiment and control groups are created. In this context, in order to measure
the academic achievements of students, “Academic Achievement Test” is applied as
pretest and posttest both on experiment group students and control group students.
During the education phase, mentation training course is given for 12 weeks as 2
lessons per week in the class of experiment group students and in the class of control
vii
groups students mentation training course is not taught but 3 hours of social studies
course is given as usual. SPSS 16 program will be used in the analysis of the
quantitative data acquired from the students as a result of these practices. “Unrelated
Samples T-Test” will be used in the determination whether there is a significant
difference between the pretest and posttest points of academic achievement test of the
experiment and control group students. “Related Samples T-Test” will be used in order
to analyze the change between pretest and posttest points within each group itself and
the results will be expressed by tabulating.
Through qualitative and quantitative data obtained, It was demonstrated the effects of
thinking training lesson to social studies. For the results, recommedations have been
developed on how to social studies would be associated with the thinking training
lesson.
