Summary/Abstract: In Turkey, a number of primary studies have been conducted to investigate how authentic learning impacts students' attitudes towards courses, an important affective factor in the learning process. These individual studies have reported varying effect sizes on the effectiveness of authentic learning. This review utilized a meta-analysis approach to analyze the results of experimental and quasi-experimental studies on this topic to provide a more comprehensive overview. Out of the 180 studies identified in the literature search, eight studies (representing nine effect sizes) that met the inclusion criteria were coded and analyzed. Among these primary studies, one showed a modest effect size, seven demonstrated a moderate effect size, and one had a strong effect size. The analysis showed a moderate overall effect size for the effectiveness of authentic learning on students' attitudes towards courses (g=0.751). Based on these findings, it can be concluded that authentic learning is more effective than traditional education processes in promoting positive attitudes towards course, which is a noteworthy result in educational research.
