BİLİMSEL BİLGİNİN VARLIK ALANINA MODELLEMEYE DAYALI ÖĞRETİMLE BAKIŞ

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, modellemeye dayalı etkinliklerle yürütülen fen ve teknoloji dersinin öğrencilerin bilimsel bilginin varlık alanına yönelik düşüncelerine etkisi incelenmiştir. İzmir iline bağlı merkez ilçelerden birindeki bir ilköğretim okulunun 7. sınıflarıyla gerçekleştirilen ve yaklaşık 6 hafta süren uygulamada deney ve kontrol grupları ile çalışılmıştır. Fen dersi deney sınıfında modellemeye dayalı olarak işlenirken, kontrol sınıfında ise mevcut Fen ve Teknoloji programına uygun olarak işlenmiştir. Uygulama öncesinde ve sonrasında her iki sınıfa da bilimsel bilginin varlık alanına yönelik görüş ölçekleri uygulanmış ayrıca her iki sınıftan 5'er öğrenci ile görüşülmüştür. Araştırma sonunda her iki grup arasında nicel olarak anlamlı fark görülürken aynı zamanda nitel olarak da deney grubu lehine gelişme izlenmiştir.

VIEW OF THE SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE’S EXISTENCE DOMAIN THROUGH MODEL BASED INSTRUCTION

Abstract

In this study the effects of science and technlogy course carried by model based activities on students’ views about the existance domain of scientific knowlegde were examined. The study was conducted by 7th graders with experimental and contol groups in a primary school in one of the central towns of Izmir for about six weeks. While the courses in experimental group was conducted by modelling, the courses in the control group was conducted according to the current scinece and technology curriculum. The scale for existance domanin of scientific knowledge was given to both groups besides interviweing five students from each group before and after the instruction. At the end of the reserach, it was found that there is not a significantly difference between two groups quantitavely despite the improvement of the experimental group qualitatively.

Keywords

• Model based teaching, science education, scientific knowldege (epistemology), existance domain of scientific knowledge (ontology)
