Description

The experimental treatment was a five-week ICT-supported enactment of the 'Turks on the Silk Road' unit, the third unit of the Turkish 6th-grade social studies curriculum. The article states the teacher 'utilized a CD containing factual information about Turkish states' and that 'The CD contains drill and practice applications, digital historical maps and some simple (flash) simulations.' Documentaries covered nomadic life style, cultural artifacts and geographical terrain, and internet resources were used for pupil research.
