Abstract
In recent years, the Escape Room approach has been applied in teaching
of various content. Aside from being enjoyable, the Escape Room activities
actively involve all students in the class and promote their creative, critical and
logical thinking, problem solving, communication and cooperation, as well as
positive attitude towards the subject. To encourage the engagement and motivation
of ninth-grade students, activities were developed regarding the topic of
exothermic and endothermic reactions, through the use of Google Forms and
Breakout Rooms option in MS Teams. The application of this approach helps
students to master the teaching content in a more interesting way, encourages
discussion and cooperation among students. 244 9th grade students from five
primary schools participated in the research. Apart from encouraging engagement
and motivation among students, one of the objectives of the research was
to examine their opinions regarding the implemented Escape Room activities.
For this purpose, the motivation of students towards Science Learning (SMTSL)
and Activity Perception Questionnaire (APQ-ER) instruments were implemented.
The research results, positive atmosphere during the classes, and high
students’ satisfaction after completing the activities indicate numerous benefits
of the implementation of the Escape Room approach in chemistry teaching.
