Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of scenario-based teaching based on socioscientific issues in the life science courses on decision-making skills, attitudes towards the course, and academic achievement of primary school students. The research was conducted during the life science course and scenario-based teaching activities in the context of socioscientific issues were implemented for 8 weeks. Pre-post and retention tests were used to measure the changes in decision-making skills, attitudes towards the life science course and academic achievement of primary school students. Based on the results of the study, the scenario-based teaching process implemented about socioscientific issues significantly increased primary school students' decision-making skills, their attitudes toward the life science course, and their academic achievement both during and at the end of the process a significantly broad effect (p<.05). Moreover, the difference between the mean scores was statistically significant (p<.05), with an average score of 30.53 in the first week and 47.95 in the last week from the alternative measurement tools included in the activity forms throughout the process. The process of scenario-based teaching process based on socioscientific issues, makes the course more relevant and accessible to students by integrating real-world problems into the learning process, which leads to an increase in their academic achievement. In this context, it is expected that this process will be used at different education levels (secondary school and high school).

Hayat bilgisi dersinde sosyobilimsel konular bağlamında gerçekleştirilen senaryo temelli öğretim süreci

Abstract

Çalışmanın amacı, hayat bilgisi dersinde sosyobilimsel konular bağlamında gerçekleştirilen senaryo temelli öğretimin ilkokul öğrencilerinin karar verme becerilerine, derse yönelik tutumlarına ve akademik başarılarına etkisini belirlemektir. Araştırma hayat bilgisi dersi sürecinde gerçekleştirilmiş ve sosyobilimsel konular bağlamında senaryo temelli öğretim etkinlikleri 8 hafta boyunca uygulanmıştır. Ön-son ve kalıcılık testleriyle ilkokul öğrencilerinin karar verme becerileri, hayat bilgisi dersine yönelik tutumları ve akademik başarılarındaki değişimi ölçülmüştür. Aynı zamanda ders sürecinde senaryo formları kullanılarak grup etkinlikleri ile süreç tasarlanmış ve alternatif ölçme araçları ile süreç içeresinde ilkokul öğrencilerinin akademik başarıları ölçülmüştür. Araştırma sonucunda sosyobilimsel konular bağlamında gerçekleştirilen senaryo temelli öğretim süreci ilkokul öğrencilerinin karar verme becerilerini, hayat bilgisi dersine yönelik tutumlarını ve hem süreç boyunca hem de süreç sonunda akademik başarılarını geniş etki ile anlamlı bir şekilde arttırdığı (p<.05) sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Ayrıca süreç boyunca etkinlik formlarında yer alan alternatif ölçme araçlarından ilk hafta 30,53 ortalama puan alırlarken, son hafta 47,95 ortalama puan aldıkları görülerek ortalama puanlar arası farkın da istatiksel olarak anlamlı olduğu (p<.05) tespit edilmiştir. Sosyobilimsel konular bağlamında gerçekleştirilen senaryo temelli öğretimin süreci, gerçek dünya sorunlarını öğrenme sürecine entegre ederek dersi öğrenciler için daha alakalı ve erişilebilir hale getirir, bu da onların akademik başarılarında artışa neden olmaktadır. Bu bağlamda düşünüldüğünde farklı öğretim kademelerinde de bu sürecin kullanılması beklenmektedir.
