Abstract
The Effect of Digitally Assisted Cooperative Student Teams Achievement Division to the Academic Success of Science Class
Cooperative learning is one of the most innovative and popular methods of learning for
today's century students. It is a theoretically based and thoroughly researched teachinglearning
practice that is believed to support the success of all kinds of students. This
study is a quasi-experimental study examining the effect of cooperative STAD learning
method on the academic success of the excretory system unit of the science course of
sixth grade middle school students. The pre-test and post-test experimental design was
used and the first and second experimental groups were equal on the basis of their pretest
scores. Excretory system success test was used as data collection tool. According to
the independent t test results made on the data obtained from the research, both of the
groups increased the academic success average in the final application. The findings
obtained showed that the digital supported collaborative STAD method used increased
academic achievement and was more effective in teaching compared to the cooperative
STAD method alone. Therefore, teachers should be encouraged to use digitally supported
cooperative learning method for other subjects in secondary schools to maximize their
achievement.
