The problems we encounter today in terms of information, technology, and human qualifications have relatively complicated structures. Today information is developing and increasing rapidly and technology is spreading into our daily life in many respects and individuals who can see the relationship between pieces of information, analyze information and synthesize new information, then use synthesized information for solving the problems they encounter are preferred rather than individuals having unrelated memorized pieces of information. In such a process, learning models, in which learners assume responsibility and manage their own learning, learners are active in intellectual and physical terms during learning process, and learners’ permanent learning is ensured at the end of the process, become important.
The purpose of the study is to share the “Active Learning and Effective Participation” project as an application model which allows students to be more active in the lesson by taking the responsibility of their own learning. While the project was planned, opinions of students on in-lesson processes were determined through a questionnaire applied on 319 students. The “Active Learning and Effective Participation” project was conducted in Gaziantep College Foundation Private Schools in the fall semester of the 2013-2014 academic year for two months. A total of 627 students participated in the project and students stated their positive opinions on the application of the project at the end of the project. Some of these opinions are as follows: the active learning effective participation project ensures more in-class activity participation, is beneficial for learning the subjects, allows information learned to be permanent and effective, ensures that students talk more in classroom discussions, contributes to studying in cooperation, and increases interest in the subjects, the feeling of curiosity, and questioning skills. The students added that their lessons were more efficient and they developed different points of views thanks to the application. Opinions of teachers also support that efficient and effective results are achieved from the applied project.
