ÖĞRENCİ MERKEZLİ FEN ÖĞRETİMİ İLE İLGİLİ 4. ve 5. SINIF ÖĞRENCİLERİNİN GÖRÜŞLERİNİN DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ (ERZURUM İL ÖRNEĞİ)

Abstract

Öğrenci merkezli eğitimin en öncelikli amacı öğrencinin, kendi kendine öğrenmeyi keşfetmesine yardımcı olmaktır. Bu modelde öğrenci kendini değerlendirebilmeli, kendini yeterince tanıyabilmeli ve düşüncelerini rahatlıkla ifade edebilmelidir. Bu bağlamda yapılan bu çalışmanın en temel amacı, öğrenci merkezli fen öğretimi konusunda ilköğretim okulu 4. ve 5. sınıf öğrencilerinin görüş ve düşüncelerini değerlendirmektir. Araştırmada anket yoluyla toplanan veriler istatistiksel işlemlerle değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırmanın sonucunda, öğrencilerin genel olarak öğrenci merkezli fen öğretimini destekledikleri sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
