BİYOLOJİ ÖĞRETMEN ADAYLARININ "BAĞIŞIKLIK" KONUSUNDAKİ BİLİŞSEL YAPILARI

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, biyoloji öğretmen adaylarının bağışıklıkla ilgili kavramsal çatılarını belirleyerek bilişsel yapılarını tespit etmektir. Çalışmada nitel araştırma yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Toplam 40 biyoloji öğretmen adayının katılımıyla hazırlanmıştır. Verilerin toplanmasında bağımsız kelime ilişkilendirme testi ve çizme-yazma tekniği kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen veriler içerik analizine göre analiz edilerek, kategoriler frekans değerlerine göre verilmiştir. Araştırma verileri toplam 8 kategori altında toplanmıştır: bunlar bağışıklıkta rol alan yapılar, yapay bağışıklık, bağışıklığın cevabı, bağışıklığın tanımı, bağışıklık sonucunda organizmanın verdiği tepkiler, bağışıklık tür ilişkisi, bağışıklığın doğası ve bağışıklıkta rol alan yok etme yollarıdır. Ayrıca bağışıklıkla ilgili bazı alternatif kavramlara sahip oldukları da belirlenmiştir.

Biology Student Teachers’ Cognitive Structure on the Concept of “Immunity”

Abstract

The current study aims to determine biology student teachers’ cognitive structure on the concept of immunity. Qualitative research method was applied in this study. The data were collected from 40 biology student teachers. The free word-association test and the drawing-writing technique were used as data collection instruments. The data collected were subject to content analysis. Based on the categories, frequency was provided. The data collected through the study were divided into 8 categories, which were stated as follows: structures are involved in immunity, artificial immunity, the response of immunity, the definition of immunity, the organism response of end of the immunity, relationship between immunity and species, the nature of immunity and ways to destroy in the immunity. Moreover, it was determined that they had some alternative concepts about immunity.
