Özet

According to the constructivist approach, ensuring students' active participation, revealing a product and acquiring an ability of presentation of their product are important educational attainments. In the light of these facts, Schank's approach of "Goal-Based Scenario" was taken into consideration and administered to students during teaching "Research Methods" course. During this process students assumed the role of "researcher", formed a "research article" as the product and presented this article in the "student conference." In this context, 30 students wrote their opinions about the process and the product of the course. Thus, the effectiveness of this approach was tried to be revealed based on students' opinions. Based on the findings, it can be said that this approach has fulfilled its purpose and all students gained really different achievements and experiences from this process.
