Abstract :The main purpose of this study is to examine the effects of leisure education practices using different teaching methods. In this study, quasi-experimental research methodology has been used in the framework of pretest - posttest design without the use of a control group. In total, 155 students between the age of 9-13 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(experimental I group: 76 students, experiment II group: 79 students); were selected through a convenience sampling method. The Leisure Education Scale insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(LES); developed by Munusturlar insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(2014); was used to measure leisure education levels of students in the study. In order to examine the difference between the pretest- posttest measurements of groups I and II; Paired Sample T-Test has been used as a parametric test. The Independent Samples T-Test was used to examine the difference between the pretest-posttest access results of experimental groups I and II. As a result of the statistical analyses, it was determined that the leisure education score averages in the experimental groups I and II were significantly different in favor of the posttest. When the difference between the pretest-posttest access results of the two groups was examined, it was found that the leisure education had a significant difference in favor of the experimental group I that experienced play-based teaching method in the sub-dimensions of problem-solving and social interaction skills. As a result, it can be concluded that both lecture-teaching and play-based teaching methods are effective in terms of leisure education applications.
