Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the impact of Argumentation-Based Science Learning (ABSL) Approach on the metacognitive skills of gifted students. The research design follows a quantitative research methodology, utilizing a pretest-posttest control group design within an experimental framework. The study group consists of 44 gifted students from the eighth-grade level, selected through purposive sampling. Students from within this study group have been randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups. At the beginning and end of the study, metacognitive skills surveys were administered to both the experimental and control groups to determine intra-group and inter-group differences. The quantitative data collected in the research were analyzed using appropriate statistical methods in alignment with the research questions. According to the research findings, the lack of statistically significant difference in the metacognitive skills survey scores between the students indicates that the ABSL approach has no substantial impact on the metacognitive skills of the students.

Fen Eğitiminde Argümantasyon Tabanlı Bilim Öğrenme Yaklaşımının Özel Yetenekli Öğrencilerin Üst Bilişsel Becerilerine Etkisi

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Argümantasyon Tabanlı Bilim Öğrenme yaklaşımının (ATBÖ), özel yetenekli öğrencilerin üst bilişsel becerilerine etkisini araştırmaktır. Araştırmanın modeli nicel araştırma yöntemlerinden deneme modeli olup; ön ve son test kontrol gruplu tam deneysel desen kullanılmıştır. Çalışma grubunu amaçsal örnekleme yöntemi ile seçilmiş ortaokul 8. sınıf düzeyindeki 44 özel yetenekli öğrenci oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmada rastgele olarak bir deney ve bir kontrol grubu seçilmiştir. Çalışmanın başlangıcında ve sonunda deney ve kontrol gruplarına Bilişüstü Yeti Anketi uygulanmış, grup içi ve gruplar arası farklar tespit edilmeye çalışılmıştır. Araştırmada toplanan nicel verilerin analizleri, araştırma problemlerine uygun istatistiksel yöntemler kullanılarak yapılmıştır. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre, öğrencilerin Bilişüstü Yeti Anketi’nden aldıkları puanlar karşılaştırıldığında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir farkın olmadığı ortaya çıkmıştır.
