Abstract

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the Common Knowledge Construction Model in a fourth-grade primary school science course. The research was conducted using a mixed research model and employed an embedded design. In the quantitative dimension of the research, a quasi-experimental design with an unequalized pre-test-post-test control group was used. In the qualitative dimension of the research, interviews were conducted with students in the experimental group. The research was conducted in one of the fourth-grade branches of a primary school in Gaziantep province in the spring semester of the 2020-2021 academic year. As a result of the research, it was concluded that the Common Knowledge Construction Model was effective in increasing students' conceptual understanding and developing their understanding of the nature of science.

Ethical Statement

This research was approved by the Anadolu University Ethics Committee's Social and Human Sciences Ethics Committee's decision, No. E-1069, dated 09/01/2020.
