Abstract
The aim of this study is to examine the effects of Vee diagram on the achievements and attitudes of students in science
laboratory course-II. Sample consisted of pre-service science teachers (N=59) of science teaching program at Faculty of
Education in Afyon Kocatepe University in Turkey. A quasi experimental research was utilized as the research design. The
teaching was realized through traditionally laboratory method with the control group, whereas through Vee-diagrams with
the experimental group. Pre-service science teachers constructed Vee diagrams for presenting their experiment reports
during whole laboratory process. The data were gathered through “Achievement Test (AT)” and “Attitude Scale for Science
Laboratory (ASSL)”. The findings indicated that although there is no significant difference (p>.05) between the pre-test
achievement scores of groups, the result of the post-test exhibited that there is a significant difference among groups, which
is favor of the experiment group (p<.05). The findings also indicated that there was no a significant difference between posttest attitude scores of the experimental group and control experimental group (p>.05).
Keywords: Vee diagram, achievement, attitude.
