Özet
In this study, an experimental investigation with pre-test and post-test control groups was performed in which problem-based learning method and computer-assisted learning method were compared. The study was conducted on 18 students of computer-assisted learning group and 18 of problem-based learning group. In order to measure the student's success, a 25-question multiple choice test was used as a pre-test and a post-test. The findings obtained reveal that there is not a considerable difference between problem-based learning method and computer-assisted learning method. It has been determined that both of the applied methods increased the student success significantly.
