Abstract
In this study, the effect of the use of Web 2.0 tools in online education on the achievement of secondary school students in the unit "Reproduction, Growth and Development in Living Things" was examined. The sample of the research consists of 14 students studying in the 7th grade. In the study, the lessons were carried out in accordance with the current curriculum, using web 2.0 tools in an online environment. The study lasted for 6 weeks in total and a different Web 2.0 tool was applied to the students every week on the “Microsoft Teams” platform. The model of the research is a mixed model in which quantitative and qualitative methods are combined. In this direction, the "Reproduction, Growth and Development Unit Achievement Test in Living Things" was used as a quantitative data collection tool, and the "Reproduction, Growth and Development Unit Worksheet in Living Things" was used as a qualitative data collection tool. SPSS program was used in the analysis of the quantitative data, and content analysis was used in the analysis of the qualitative data. As a result of the study, it has been found that online education applications supported by web 2.0 tools have a positive effect on students' achievement in the unit "Reproduction, Growth and Development in Living Things". In the study, it was found that the students gave more correct code and frequency outputs with a significant difference after the application, and that they correctly associated the unit concepts with each other.
