- Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of activities based on the authentic learning approach used in middle school mathematics courses on students' academic achievement and reasoning skills. The research covers the learning outcomes of the Whole Numbers, Fractions, and Decimal Fractions units in the sixth grade first semester of the mathematics course. The research was implemented in the first semester of the 2022-2023 academic year in a public school in the Selçuklu district of Konya province. The control and experimental groups consisted of 33 and 26 sixth-grade students, respectively. The study was conducted for nine weeks during the fall semester. The data of the study were collected with "Academic Achievement Test" and "Reasoning Skills Test". T-test statistics were used to analyze the data. Because of the study, it was observed that authentic learning activities used in mathematics lessons positively affected students' academic achievement and reasoning skills. These results show that learning experiences close to daily life skills also contribute to reasoning skills.
