Impact of A Planned Museum Tour on The Primary School Students’ Attitudes

Abstract

This study aims at discovering the impact of the museum education pack developed for the course of Art Activities on the attitudes of students. This study was conducted with the first level third year students in the Ankara Şehit Mahmut Özdemir Primary School in the 2007-2008 academic year. A pretest- post-test control group design was used in this study. One of the sampling groups selected
randomly is the experimental group with 37 members, and the other is the control group with 38 members. The data were gathered with an attitude scale. Analyzing the data, a t-test and a single factor ANOVA were used. At the end of the study, a statistically significant difference was found between the attitude levels of the students in the control group and the students in the experimental group, defending the latter’s higher attitude level.
