The Effect of Engaging with Science Fiction Media on 7th Grade Students’ Academic Achievement in the "Solar System and Beyond" Unit

Abstract

This study examines how engagement with science-fiction-based media content, including watching, reading, and creating, affects 7th-grade students' achievement in the “Solar System and Beyond” unit. To conduct the research, a quantitative approach was employed using a quasi-experimental design. The study group consisted of 52 students from two intact classes (n = 26 each) who were exposed to different instructional approaches. During the unit, one group participated in three science fiction-based activities: watching an animated film depicting a future Earth affected by environmental degradation and space habitation, reading a science fiction short story focusing on robot ethics and the laws of robotics, and designing a space vehicle. The data collection tool was the “Solar System and Beyond Achievement Test” developed by the researcher. In addition, activity forms were used to confirm students’ engagement with the implemented activities. The study results showed that while the groups were similar at the outset, a statistically significant difference emerged in favor of the group exposed to science fiction-based activities by the end of the study. The findings indicate that engaging with science fiction media, through watching, reading, and creating, enhances seventh-grade students’ academic achievement. The study recommends incorporating science fiction activities into science courses to support students’ learning and achievement.

BilimKurgu Medyasıyla Etkileşimin 7. Sınıf Öğrencilerinin “Güneş Sistemi ve Ötesi” Ünitesi Başarı Üzerindeki Etkisi

Abstract

Bu çalışma, izleme, okuma ve oluşturma etkinlikleri de dâhil olmak üzere bilimkurgu temelli medya içerikleriyle etkileşimin, 7. sınıf öğrencilerinin “Güneş Sistemi ve Ötesi” ünitesindeki başarıları üzerindeki etkisini incelemektedir. Araştırmayı yürütmek amacıyla nicel yaklaşım kullanılmış ve yarı deneysel desen benimsenmiştir. Çalışma grubu, farklı öğretim yaklaşımlarına maruz bırakılan iki mevcut sınıftan (her biri n = 26) toplam 52 öğrenciden oluşmuştur. Ünite sürecinde gruplardan biri üç bilimkurgu temelli etkinliğe katılmıştır: çevresel bozulmadan ve uzayda yaşamdan etkilenen gelecekteki Dünya'yı tasvir eden bir animasyon filminin izlenmesi, robot etiğine ve robotik yasalarına odaklanan bir bilimkurgu öyküsünün okunması ve bir uzay aracının tasarlanması. Veri toplama aracı olarak araştırmacı tarafından geliştirilen “Güneş Sistemi ve Ötesi Ünitesi Başarı Testi” kullanılmıştır. Ayrıca, öğrencilerin uygulanan etkinliklere katılımını doğrulamak amacıyla etkinlik formlarından yararlanılmıştır. Araştırma sonuçları, grupların başlangıçta benzer olduğunu, ancak araştırmanın sonunda bilimkurgu temelli etkinliklere maruz bırakılan grup lehine istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir farklılık ortaya çıktığını göstermiştir. Bulgular, izleme, okuma ve oluşturma yoluyla bilimkurgu medyasıyla etkileşim kurmanın, yedinci sınıf öğrencilerinin akademik başarılarını artırdığını göstermektedir. Araştırmada, öğrencilerin öğrenmelerini ve başarılarını desteklemek amacıyla fen bilimleri derslerine bilimkurgu etkinliklerinin dâhil edilmesi önerilmektedir.
