Fen öğretiminde öğrenme ve öğretme yaklaşımının değişmesi ile öğrencilerin derse aktif katılmasını, onların bilgileri yaparak-yaşayarak öğrenmesini ve bilgileri içselleştirerek birer fen okuryazarı olarak yetişmesine olanak sağlayan yöntem ve teknikler büyük önem kazanmaya başlamıştır. Söz konusu yöntemlerden biri de Probleme Dayalı Öğrenme Yöntemi (PDÖ)’dir. Bu yöntemde öğrenciler iki ya da üç oturum boyunca kendilerine sunulan günlük hayattakine çok yakın problem durumunu çözümleyerek öğrenmeye aktif olarak katılırlar. PDÖ oturumlarının ve PDÖ etkinliklerin daha verimli hale getirilebilmesi için PDÖ yönteminin farklı öğrenme teknikleri ile desteklenmesinin öğrenci motivasyonunu arttıracağı düşünülmektedir. Kullanılabilecek bu tekniklerden biri de kavram karikatürleridir. Bu çalışmada fen ve teknoloji öğretiminde probleme dayalı öğrenme yöntemi içerisinde kavram karikatürlerinin kullanımı açıklanarak, Madde ve Isı ünitesine ilişkin örnek etkinliklere yer verilmektedir.

After the change of learning and teaching approach in science education, methods and techniques which help students to participate in course actively, encourages them to learn by doing-living and supports them to become science literal by assimilating information became more important. One of these methods is Problem Based Learning (PBL). In this method students participate actively by solving a problem situations given to them during two or three sessions. Supporting PBL with different learning techniques to make PBL sessions and PBL activities more effective might increase students’ motivation. One of the techniques could be used is concept cartoons. In this study use of concept cartoons integrated to problem based learning explained and sample activities towards matter and heat unit given.

Anahtar Kelimeler

Science and technology course, problem based learning (PBL), concept cartoons.
