The Situation of Middle School Students about Probability: A Concept Map Study

Öz

This research was conducted to reveal learner mistakes and misconceptions of secondary school 8th grade students regarding the subject of probability. Sample of the study consists of 22 students studying at secondary school 8th grade. Initially two concept maps were prepared in relation to probability subject as data collection tool. First concept map covers the curriculum of 6th, 7th and 8th grades while the latter covers only 8th grade curriculum. The concept maps were revised in accordance with expert views. The students were informed about concept maps and the probability subject was summarized in two courses with the first concept map. Then, the second concept map was implemented on a class of 22 students under the guidance of teachers and researcher. As a result of evaluations, five students with mistakes and misconceptions were interviewed to detect the mistakes and misconceptions regarding the probability subject. As far as the data concerned, it was seen that most of the students have mistaken and misconceptions regarding probability types. It was observed that particularly theoretical probability and experimental probability are confused. In our education system, with spiral structure, presenting previous learnings as a whole to learners in the form of concept map may be an important step for permanent and meaningful learning.
