The
current study aims to determine student teachers' cognitive structures on the
concept of AIDS. A case study design was applied in this qualitative research.
The data were collected from 298 student teachers via drawing-writing technique.
Content analysis was utilized and data were interpreted according to
categories. Categorizations of student teachers' cognitive structures
related to the concept of AIDS were determined to be categorized as “results of AIDS, AIDS carriers and AIDS
transmission routes". One of the important results obtained was that
the participants had alternative concepts related to the AIDS concept and that
the cognitive structures were not in sufficient level in all the determined
categories. It was seen that 67.91% of the participants did drawings without
representations/cartoon drawings. It was determined that the participants did
mostly draw drawings of concepts such as Death,
Unhappy People, Male, and Female
in different categories.

Öğretmen Adaylarının “AIDS” Kavramı Konusundaki Bilişsel Yapıları: Çizme-Yazma Tekniği Örneği

Öz

Bu
araştırmada öğretmen adaylarının AIDS kavramı konusundaki bilişsel yapıları
nasıldır? sorusuna cevap aranmıştır. Çalışmada nitel araştırma modeli kapsamında
durum çalışması deseni kullanılmıştır. Çalışmaya farklı branşlardan 298
öğretmen adayı katılmıştır. Veriler çizme-yazma tekniğiyle  toplanmıştır. Elde edilen verilerin
analizinde içerik analizinin kullanımı tercih edilmiş olup veriler kategorilere
göre yorumlanmıştır. Katılımcıların AIDS kavramı hakkındaki bilişsel
yapılarının yoğunlaştığı kategorilerin “AIDS’in sonuçları, AIDS’in taşıyıcıları ve AIDS’in
bulaşma yolları” kategorileri olduğu
belirlenmiştir. Araştırmanın önemli sonuçlardan biri ise belirlenmiş olan tüm
kategorilerde katılımcıların AIDS kavramıyla ilgili farklı kavramlara sahip
oldukları ve bilişsel yapılarının yeterli düzeyde olmadığı tespit edilmiştir.
Çünkü katılımcıların %67.91’inin temsili
olmayan-karikatür çizimler yaptıkları görülmüştür. Katılımcılar kategorilerde en fazla Ölüm, Mutsuz insanlar, Erkek, Kadın gibi kavramlara ait çizimler
yaptıkları belirlenmiştir.
