Abstract

The purpose of this study was to compare the differences between science teachers' preference and their students' awareness for teaching and learning methods according to classroom circumstance, with a focus on the 'Stimulus and Reaction' subject unit in middle school. A survey was given to teachers and students that concentrated mainly on the 8 grade 'stimulus and reaction' unit, it was followed by interviews with 5 students to and in the interpretation of the findings. The questionnaire participants consisted of 192 science teachers and 331 $8^{th}$ grade students. Lecturing was the teaching method which was most favored by teachers and mainly recognized by students followed by questioning, educational software and film/video. We could see difference of recognition between teachers and students from this result in application, review and attitude area. The teaching methods applied by teachers and recognized by students depended on the instructional situation. In addition, it was revealed that teachers were applying various teaching methods to classroom situations.
