The purpose of this study is to determine whether the knowledge structure of first level elementary school students for the ''light'' concept can be explained by "knowledge-as-theory perspective" or "knowledge-in-pieces perspective" and to contribute to the development of new teaching and learning techniques. In this research, clinical interview method was used. This method is a qualitative research method which aims to reveal what lies coginively behind the individual's explanations. In this study 21 fifth-grade students were selected and interviewed as participants. Students with similar level of success and Socio-ecomomic status, were choosen. A dark room was prepared in the same school where experimental activities were held and a set of clinical interviews were arranged. It was concluded that the knowledge structures about light concepts of students are suitable for "knowledge-in-pieces perspective" in theoretical concepts and "knowledge-as-theory perspective" for descriptive concepts.
Bu çalışmanın amacı, ilköğretim öğrencilerinin “ışık” kavramına yönelik bilgi yapılarını “teori nitelikli bilgi yapısı teorisi” ve “parça nitelikli bilgi yapısı teorisi” ile açıklamaya çalışmak ve yeni program ve ders kitabı içeriklerinin geliştirilmesine katkı sağlamaktır. Araştırmada, nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden klinik görüşme yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Katılımcı olarak 21 tane 5. sınıf öğrencisi seçilmiş ve öğrencilere 9 adet etkinlik serisi eşliğinde 42 açık uçlu soru yöneltilmiştir. Öğrencilerin ışık kavramına yönelik bilgi yapılarının, teorik kavramlarla ilgili boyutunun parça nitelikli bilgi yapısı teorisine, betimsel kavramlarla ilgili boyutunun ise teori nitelikli bilgi yapısı teorisine uygun olduğu belirlenmiştir.
