Abstract

Despite of the fact that there aren’t a lot of studies in quantum physic and quantum physics’ instruction in Turkey, it has been observed that studies in this field were carried out with physic department or pre-service physic teachers. The purpose of this study is revealing the ratio of ideas pre-service science teachers have about quantum physic before and after instruction and determining the conceptual understanding rate. This research was conducted with a total of 48 students studying in science teaching. Data in the scope of research were obtained from the concept test and semi-structured interviews. Before the instruction, it has been understood that pre-service science teachers have alternative concepts about quantum physics. After the instruction, it can be said that most of the pre-service science teachers have scientific concepts about quantum physic and conceptual understanding concerning of quantum physic

FEN BİLGİSİ ÖĞRETMEN ADAYLARININ KUANTUM FİZİĞİNE İLİŞKİN KAVRAMSAL ANLAMALARI

Abstract

Özet

Ülkemizde kuantum fiziği ve kuantum fiziği öğretimi ile ilgili çalışma sayısı çok fazla olmamakla birlikte, yapılan çalışmaların daha çok fizik bölümü veya fizik öğretmenliği öğrencileri ile gerçekleştirildiği gözlenmektedir. Bu çalışma ile Fen Bilgisi öğretmen adaylarının öğretim öncesi ve öğretim sonrasında kuantum fiziği ile ilgili fikirlerinin ne olduğu ve yapılan öğretimin kavramsal anlamaya etkisi belirlenmeye çalışılmıştır. Çalışmanın örneklemini Fen Bilgisi öğretmenliğinde öğrenim gören toplam 48 öğrenci oluşturmuştur. Veri toplama aracı olarak kavram testi ve yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmeler kullanılmıştır. Öğretim öncesinde Fen Bilgisi öğretmen adaylarının kuantum fiziği ile ilgili alternatif kavramlara sahip olduğu belirlenmiştir. Öğretim sonrasında ise, Fen Bilgisi öğretmen adaylarının çoğunun kuantum fiziği ile ilgili bilimsel kavramlara sahip olduğu ve kuantum fiziği ile ilgili kavramsal anlamanın gerçekleşmiş olduğu belirlenmiştir.

Anahtar kelimeler: Kuantum fiziği, alternatif kavram, kavramsal anlama

 

 

THE PRE-SERVICE SCIENCE TEACHERS’ CONCEPTUAL UNDERSTANDING OF QUANTUM PHYSICS

 

Abstract

Despite of the fact that there aren’t a lot of studies in quantum physic and quantum physics’ instruction in Turkey, it has been observed that studies in this field were carried out with physic department or pre-service physic teachers. The purpose of this study is revealing the ratio of ideas pre-service science teachers have about quantum physic before and after instruction and determining the conceptual understanding rate. This research was conducted with a total of 48 students studying in science teaching. Data in the scope of research were obtained from the concept test and semi-structured interviews. Before the instruction, it has been understood that pre-service science teachers have alternative concepts about quantum physics.  After the instruction, it can be said that most of the pre-service science teachers have scientific concepts about quantum physic and conceptual understanding concerning of quantum physic.

 Key Words: Quantum physic, alternative concept, conceptual understanding
