THE DEVELOPMENT OF APPROPRIATE TEACHING MATERIAL TO 5E TEACHING MODEL THAT EXAMINES THE PROJECTILE MOTION

Abstract

The first aim of this study is to provide a teaching material to develop students' thinking skills. There are many kinds of experiment in physics lesson. In this paper authors just focus how to develop an experimental design based on projectile motion and how to explore the students’ creative and critical thinking through projectile motion experiment. This lab for projectile motions will be investigating the properties of the x displacement of a projectile. Practical knowledge and school knowledge are becoming mutually exclusive; many students see little connection between what they learn in the science classroom with real life. Students should be able to apply what they learn in school to the various situations in real-life. So that, authors second purpose of this paper is to design an experiment that can integrate the students’ understanding in the classroom with the application in the real life. To realize this second purpose, the 5 E teaching-model will be conducted to the projectile motion experiment. In the projectile motion experiment, students will be taught with respect to the sequence of 5E learning cycle model which are engagement, exploration, explanation, elaboration, and evaluation through the use of activities such as demonstrations and discussions. So the final of these exercises are designed to encourage students to see that their critical and creative thinking skills through 5 E model-teaching in the projectile motion experiment.

ATIŞ HAREKETİNİ İNCELEYEN 5E ÖĞRETİM MODELİNE UYGUN ÖĞRETİM MATERYALİNİN GELİŞTİRİLMESİ

Öz

Bu çalışmanın ilk amacı, öğrencilerin düşünme becerilerini geliştirebilecekleri bir öğretim materyali ortaya koymaktır. Fizik derslerinde pek çok deney yapılmaktadır. Çalışmada öğrencilerin yaratıcı ve eleştirel düşünme becerilerini geliştirmek için yatay atış hareketi konusunda deneysel bir tasarım geliştirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Atış hareketi boyunca uzanımın (yatayda yer değiştirme) nasıl değiştiği incelenmeye çalışılmıştır. Öğrenciler okul yaşamında kazanmış oldukları kavramsal bilgi ile yaşamdan gözlem sonucu kazanmış oldukları bilgiyi örtüştürmede problem yaşamaktadırlar. Gerçek yaşam ile okulda elde edilen bilgi birbirini destekler nitelikte olmalıdır. Böylelikle bu çalışmanın ikinci amacı öğrencilerin ifade edilen bağlantıyı kurabilmeleri için bir deneysel tasarım geliştirmek olmuştur. Bu nedenle girme, keşfetme, açıklama, genişletme ve değerlendirme basamaklarından oluşan 5E öğretim materyali hazırlanmıştır. Bu deneysel tasarım ile öğrencilerin yatay atış hareketi konusunda ve yaratıcı ve eleştirel düşünme becerilerinin gelişimi planlanmaktadır.
