Abstract

 

In this study, we have investigated students’ understanding able to drawing model regarding heated body. The students were presented two metal rood one of which was being heated by a heater while no action was taken for the other one. The students were then asked to draw what they thought was inside the metals rood. Then all drawings were collected, evaluated and they were grouped in accordance with similarities. We determined five type model drawing in secondary school level and two type model drawing in elementary school level. We can see that 33% of students in elementary and 30% of students in high school level were not able to draw any model. As a result, it is shown that methods of concept teaching have not been attached importance with modelling in education.

KATI CİSİMLERLE İLGİLİ OLARAK ÖĞRENCİLER TARAFINDAN ÇİZİLEN MODELLER

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, öğrencilerin ısıtılan cisimlerle ilgili olarak model çizebilme anlayış-ları araştırıldı. Çalışmada biri, bir ısıtıcı kaynağı ile ısıtılırken diğeri üzerinde her hangi bir etki yapılmayan iki metal çubuk öğrencilerin karşısına konuldu ve metal çubukların içinde nasıl bir olayın olacağının resmini çizmeleri istendi. Daha sonra bütün çizimler toplandı ve benzerliklerine göre gruplandırıldılar. Bu gruplandırma sonucunda lise seviyesinde beş tip model çizimi yapılırken ilköğretim seviyesinde iki tip model çizildiği tespit edilmiştir. Ilköğretim seviyesinde öğrencilerin %33’ ü, Lise seviyesinde ise %30’u herhangi bir model çizememişlerdir. Sonuç olarak eğitimde modelleme ile öğretime yeteri kadar önem verilme-diği tespit edilmiştir.
