Öğrenme Ortamlarının Mevcut İmkanlarından Faydalanılarak Akustik Ortamların Oluşturulması ve Karşılaştırılması

Abstract

In this study, the situation that noise in schools has a significant effect on students' adaptation and understanding of the lesson was discussed. In classroom environments where students gain academic, social and emotional skills, 60.00-75.00% of learning activities require verbal communication with the teacher and other students (American National Standards Institute [ANSI], 2002; The Institute for Enhanced Classroom Hearing [IECH], 2018). In this context, the process was carried out in order to consider the acoustic quality of the educational environment as one of the important elements that determine the quality of the learning and teaching process. In this research, the effect of the acoustic arrangement of the classrooms as a learning environment on the listening and perception activities of the students was examined. For this reason, the main purpose of this research, the acoustic arrangements, without any professional support, alternatively, with the help of the students' bags or with acoustic diffusers that they can make themselves (for example, plastic bottles) are based on the situation of making the learning environment more efficient acoustically. The research design is the experimental design. The experimental process was carried out in the classroom environment of Maltepe Kadir Has Science and Art Center. The classroom and students in which the audio recordings were made were randomly assigned. Measurements were made by lecturing in an environment where acoustic study was not done and where it was done. The listening and perception activities of the students in the classroom in line with the acoustic studies were examined with the help of a semi-structured interview form. In this direction, it has been determined that an acoustic environment can be created with simple materials and that the acoustic environment affects student listening and perception activity.
