An Investigation on the Factors Affecting the Scientific Inquiry Skills Perceptions of Secondary Students

Abstract

In this study, secondary students’ scientific inquiry skills perceptions were analyzed according to different variables. These variables were determined as their genders, grade levels, ages, final grade for science lesson, their parents’ education levels, using of computer in their house, following the science programs for kids in television and scientific magazines. 685 secondary students studying in schools included in the center of the province of Usak participated in the study. It was used “Inquiry learning skills perceptions in science” that consists of 22 items and developed by Balım and Taşkoyan (2007) as data collection tools in the study. The method of the study is survey model that is one of the descriptive research methods. In the analysis of data obtained from the study was used t-test and anova test which are parametric tests because the distribution of data wasn’t normal. As the result of data analysis, it was determined that secondary students’ scientific inquiry skills perceptions differentiated in a significant level according to their genders, grade levels, ages, final grade for science lesson, their parents’ education levels. Furthermore, it was concluded that using of computer in their house, following the science programs for kids in television and scientific magazines were the factors which affected scientific inquiry skills perceptions of secondary students.

Ortaokul Öğrencilerinin Bilimsel Sorgulama Becerileri Algılarını Etkileyen Faktörlerin İncelenmesi

Abstract

Bu çalışmada ortaokul öğrencilerinin bilimsel sorgulama becerileri algılarını etkileyen faktörlerin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaçla cinsiyetlerine, sınıflarına, yaşlarına, fen dersi başarı notlarına, anne ve baba eğitim düzeylerine, evlerinde bilgisayar kullanma, televizyondaki bilim çocuk programlarını izleme ve herhangi bir bilimsel dergiyi takip etme durumlarına göre ortaokul öğrencilerinin bilimsel sorgulama becerileri algıları değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırmaya Uşak ili merkez okullarından seçilen 685 ortaokul öğrencisi katılmıştır. Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak 22 maddeden oluşan Balım ve Taşkoyan (2007) tarafından geliştirilen “fene yönelik sorgulayıcı öğrenme becerileri algı ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın yöntemi betimsel araştırma yöntemlerinden tarama modelidir. Araştırmadan elde edilen verilerin analizinde parametrik testlerden olan t-testi ve anova testi kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizi sonucunda ortaokul öğrencilerinin bilimsel sorgulama becerileri algılarının cinsiyetlerine, sınıf düzeylerine, yaşlarına, fen başarı notlarına, anne ve baba eğitim düzeylerine göre anlamlı derecede farklılaştığı belirlenmiştir. Çalışmada ayrıca ortaokul öğrencilerinin evlerinde bilgisayar kullanmalarının, televizyonda yer alan bilim çocuk programlarını izlemelerinin ve herhangi bir bilimsel dergiyi takip etmelerinin bilimsel sorgulama becerileri algılarını etkileyen faktörler olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
