In this study, the effects of the authentic learning approach in social studies on academic achievement, retention of knowledge, and attitude towards the course were investigated. In the study, a quasi-experimental pre-test-post-test design with a non-equivalent control group was used. The study group consisted of 50 6th grade students. In the process, the authentic learning approach was used in the experimental and control group, the texts and instructions given in the course book were followed. The study data were collected by the “Social Studies Course Academic Achievement Test” and “Social Studies Course Attitude Scale”. As a result of the experimental process, it was obtained that the academic achievement levels of the students in the experimental and control groups in the social studies course increased and differed significantly compared to the pre-experimental process. It was observed that the measurement results in the follow-up studies conducted five weeks after the measurement after the application did not differ significantly from the post-test scores of the students in the control and experimental groups. The difference between the achievement test scores of both groups was significant, favouring the students in the experimental group. The changes in the attitudes of the students in the control group towards the social studies course were not found to be significant when compared to the pre-experimental process, while the changes in the attitudes of the students in the experimental group were significant. While there was no significant difference between the pre-test attitude scores of the students in the experimental and control groups, a significant difference was found between the post-test attitude scores favouring the experimental group. In this respect, the authentic learning approach has created an important alternative to methods based on knowledge transfer. In addition, it was observed that the authentic learning approach positively changed students’ attitudes towards the course.

The overall purpose of this study is to determine the effect of augmented reality applications on students’ success in social studies course and their attitudes towards social studies courses. In this research, quantitative and qualitative methods were used. In the quantitative method, there is a pre-test, post-test control group as a semi-experimental method. In the social studies course, the unit acquisition related to volcanic events was aimed to be instructed to the students in the experimental group through the augmented reality application. Before and after the application, to evaluate the success levels of the students in the experimental and control groups, social studies course achievement test was given, and to evaluate their attitudes towards the course, social studies course attitude scale was applied. At the end of the application, interviews were done with 5 of the students in the experimental group with a semi-structured interview form. In the analysis made as a result of the application, no significant difference was observed between the achievement levels of the children studying with augmented reality technology and the achievement levels of the children studying with the smart board and the current textbook. Since the group learning technique was used in the study, students’ failure to progress at an individual pace may have prevented an increase in success. According to the post-test social studies course attitude scale results of the experimental and control groups, the scores of the experimental group students showed a significant increase compared to the control group. Also, students stated that they liked the augmented reality application in the interviews, and they wanted it to be in other lessons. It is thought that it will be beneficial for education to put the augmented reality technology in other courses.
