Öğretmen Adaylarının Yenilenebilir Enerji Kaynakları ile İlgili Anlayışları

Öz

Bu çalışmada fen bilgisi öğretmen adaylarının yenilenebilir enerji kaynakları ile ilgili anlamalarını belirlemek amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmada nitel araştırma yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Çalışmaya 33 fen bilgisi öğretmen adayı katılmıştır. Çalışmada katılımcıların belirlenmesinde amaçlı örnekleme yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Çalışmada veriler 15-20 dakikalık yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmeler ile elde edilmiştir. Araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanmış olan ve yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarının neden tercih edilebileceği, yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarının kullanımının gerekli olup olmadığı ve yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarının kullanımının nasıl artırılabileceği ile ilgili soruların yer aldığı görüşme formu kullanılmıştır. Tüm görüşmeler öğretmen adaylarından izin alınarak ses kayıt cihazıyla kaydedilmiştir. Görüşme verileri diğer araştırmacı tarafından transkript edilerek bilgisayar ortamına aktarılmıştır. Elde edilen veriler içerik analiziyle analiz edilmiştir. Analiz sonucu konu ile ilgili kodlar ve kategoriler belirlendikten sonra temalar oluşturulmuştur. Öğretmen adaylarının yenilenebilir enerji kaynakları ile ilgili anlamalarının incelendiği çalışmada elde edilen veriler 3 farklı tema altında toplanmış ve sonuçlar genel olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular doğrultusunda öğretmen adaylarının konu ile ilgili 3 farklı tema altında oldukça faklı görüş bildirseler de bu fikirleri bildiren fen bilgisi öğretmen adayı yüzdesinin düşük olması anlama düzeylerinin yeterli olmadığı şeklinde yorumlanabilir.

Pre-service Teachers’ Comprehension of Renewable Energy Sources

Öz

This study aims to identify pre-service science teachers’ comprehension of renewable energy sources. The study was conducted with a qualitative research method. 33 pre-service science teachers were included in the study group. A purposeful sampling method was used in choosing the participants in the study. The study data were collected through 15-20-minute semi-structured interviews. The interview form containing questions prepared by the researchers on why to prefer renewable energy sources, whether or not the use of renewable energy sources was necessary, and how to promote the use of those sources was used in the interviews. All the interviews were voice recorded by taking the consent of the participants. The data obtained from the interviews were transcribed and then put into a computer by the other researcher and analyzed by content analysis. During the analysis, themes were created after the codes and categories were determined. After that, the data were divided into themes. The findings were considered in three themes and the results obtained were evaluated generally. Although it was considered a result that the pre-service science teachers stated their views in three different themes, the fact that the low rates of the views stated can be interpreted as that their comprehension of renewable energy sources is inadequate.
