Item Open Access A Method of Computer-Based Chemistry Instruction: Construction of Concept Maps(Suleyman Demirel University, 2007) Satılmış YılmazThis study discusses the use of computer-based concept map construction as an instructional method in chemistry education. Concepts in chemistry are often abstract and difficult for students to understand through traditional teaching methods. Concept maps provide a visual and organized way to represent relationships between ideas, helping learners develop meaningful understanding. When supported by computer technologies, concept map construction becomes more interactive, motivating, and cooperative. Students actively search for key concepts, create meaningful connections, and organize information visually. This approach aligns with student-centered learning, encouraging research, discussion, and collaboration. Computer-assisted concept mapping also improves communication between students and teachers and can be used for review, assessment, and practice. The method strengthens research skills, critical thinking, and creativity. Therefore, integrating computers into chemistry lessons through concept map construction can support deeper conceptual understanding and enhance overall learning outcomes in secondary-school chemistry education.Item Open Access Teams-Games-Tournaments (TGT) Method of Cooperative Learning(Suleyman Demirel University, 2011) Bermaganbetov G.This article discusses the Teams-Games-Tournaments (TGT) method as an effective strategy within cooperative learning. TGT engages students in structured group activities where games serve as tools to promote collaboration rather than competition. The method includes several cooperative game types such as “Who Am I?”, matching activities, sequence tasks, and movement-based games. These games encourage students to interact positively, develop questioning skills, follow rules, and support one another academically and socially. Because players are not eliminated and must communicate with many classmates, TGT activities help build cooperation, inclusiveness, and engagement for learners of different ages and abilities. The article highlights how these games can be adapted to various subjects and grade levels, creating a collaborative classroom environment that enhances learning outcomes.
