which were chosen randomly, were used as an experimental and a control group. The data was collected through Achievement Test,
Information and Communication Course Attitude Scale. The data in the research were analysed by using statistical programme. In order
to determine if there is a significant difference between the experimental and control groups, independent samples t test and to
determine whether there is a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test scores of the groups within themselves, paired
samples t test was used. At the end of the study, significant difference was found in the comprehension levels between the experimental
group and the control group. Pretest and post test results of both groups showed that there is a significant difference between them in
terms of achievement scores. On the other hand, according to the study results it is observed that there is no significant difference
