ORTAOKUL VE LİSE FEN ALANLARI ÖĞRETMEN ADAYLARININ NANOBİLİM VE NANOTEKNOLOJİ FARKINDALIK DÜZEYLERİNİN ÇEŞİTLİ DEĞİŞKENLERE GÖRE İNCELENMESİ

Öz

Bu araştırmanın amacı ortaokul ve lise fen alanları (fen bilimleri, fizik, kimya, biyoloji) öğretmen adaylarının, nanobilim ve nanoteknoloji (NBT) farkındalık düzeylerini belirlemek ve cinsiyet, bölüm ve akademik başarı düzeyi değişkenlerine göre incelemektir. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu 122 fen bilimleri, 60 biyoloji, 37 fizik ve 34 kimya öğretmen adayı olmak üzere toplam 253 öğretmen adayı (179 kız, 74 erkek) oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak “Nanobilim ve Nanoteknoloji Farkındalık Anketi” kullanılmıştır. Araştırmadan elde edilen bulgulara göre öğretmen adaylarının NBT farkındalıkları orta düzeydedir. Öğretmen adaylarının NBT farkındalıkları arasında bölüm değişkenine göre anlamlı fark bulunurken, cinsiyet ve akademik başarı düzeyi değişkenlerine göre anlamlı farklılıklar bulunamamıştır.

Examining Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Awareness Level of Middle and High School Preservice Science Teachers in Terms of Different Variables

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to determine nanoscience and nanotechnology (NST) awareness level of middle and high schools preservice science teachers and to investigate these levels according to gender, department academic achievement variables. The sample of the research consisted of 122 science, 60 biology, 37 physics and 34 chemistry preservice teachers, a total of 253 people (179 of whom are female and 74 of whom are male). Data of this study were collected using the “Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Awareness Questionnaire”. The results of this study showed that NST awareness level of the preservice science teachers were mid-range. While there were meaningful differences between NST awareness level of the preservice science teachers according to the variables of department, no meaningful differences between the awareness level of the participants were found according to the variable of type of task.

Keywords
