Tatli, Zeynep; Ayas, Alipasa – Turkish Online Journal of Distance Education, 2012
The lab applications, which were started to be applied through mid 19th century, not only provide a new point of view but also bring about a new dimension to the lessons. At early times they were used to prove theoretical knowledge but lately they turned into environments where students freely discover knowledge as an individual or in groups. The…
