Abstract:
The aim of this study is to examine the effectiveness of the lesson plan that is prepared for the purpose of enabling the first year pre-service physics teachers to be acquainted with one another and to learn the rules of the course called "Introductory Physics Laboratory-I" in an entertaining way without getting bored. For this purpose, the first session of Introductory Physics Laboratory-I course is implemented according to the lesson plan that is designed based on the method of creative drama by the researchers. In this research three data sources have been used. The first one is a test that consists of 11 short answer items and 6 multiple choice items. The second data source is an observation form. Moreover as a final source, a semi structural interview was conducted with four pre-service teachers. The test scores were graded out of 100 points by the researchers. Average grade point was calculated as 90,5. Therefore, it can be argued that implementation of creative drama techniques is successful. When the data obtained from the observation forms and semi structural interviews were interpreted, it was determined that the introduction session of Introductory Physics Laboratory-I course had a positive impact on pre-service physics teachers
