Genel Kimya Dersinde Öğrencilerin Kavram Haritalama ve Problem Çözme İnancının İncelenmesi

Abstract

Bu araştırmanın amacı öğrencilerin Genel Kimya dersinde kimyasal denge konusundaki kavramları nasıl ilişkilendirdiğini ve hazırladıkları kavram haritaları ile öğrencilerin problem çözme inancı arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesidir. İki aşamada gerçekleştirilen bu araştırmaya 60 üniversite öğrencisi katılmıştır. Bu öğrenciler eşit sayıda iki gruba ayrılmıştır. Birinci aşamada birinci grup kavram haritalarını kendi bağlantı cümlecikleri (KBC) ile hazırlarken ikinci grup verilen bağlantı cümlecikleri (VBC) ile hazırlamıştır. İkinci aşamada birinci gruba kavram haritalarını hazırlamada bağlantı cümlecikleri verilmiştir. İkinci gruba verilmemiştir. Araştırmanın verileri her iki aşamada hazırlanan kavram haritaları ve problem çözme inancı ölçeği ile toplanmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda verilen bağlantı cümlecikleri ile hazırlanan kavram haritaları daha başarılı bulunmuştur. Kavram haritalama ve problem çözme inancı arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ilişki bulunmamıştır

Keywords

• kavram haritaları, problem çözme inancı, anlamlı öğrenme
