Türkiye’deki Biyoloji Öğretmen Adaylarının Evrim Teorisini Kabul Düzeyleri Üzerine Bir Araştırma

Öz

Amaç: Bu çalışma Türkiye’deki biyoloji öğretmen adaylarının evrim teorisini kabul düzeylerini belirlemeyi amaçlamıştır. Yöntem: Çalışmaya Türkiye’deki 12 farklı üniversitede öğrenim gören 579 biyoloji öğretmen adayı katılmıştır. Araştırmada betimsel tarama yöntemi temel alınarak yürütülmüştür. Veriler Evrim Teorisi Kabul Ölçeği kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Verilerin analiz edilmesinde yüzde, ortalama ve frekans kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Katılımcıların ölçekten aldıkları ortalama puanı 53,13 olup bunların yaklaşık yarısı (%52,2) evrim teorisini kabul etmede kararsız, önemli bir kısmı (%37,7) reddeden ve sadece %10’u kabul edenler grubunda yer almaktadır. Katılımcıların çoğunluğunun canlılardaki değişim ve çeşitlilik olgusunu kabul etmekte olduğu, önemli bir kısmının ise yaratılış görüşüyle uyuşmadığı için evrim teorisinin kabul etmemekte veya kararsız olduğu bulunmuştur. Ayrıca katılımcılar genel olarak değişimin insanlar için de geçerli olduğunu kabul etseler de bunun evrim mekanizmasıyla gerçekleştiği söz konusu olduğunda kabul oranında azalma olmuştur. Sonuçlar ve Öneriler: Ortaya çıkan sonuç ulusal ve uluslararası çalışmaların sonuçları ile uyumludur. Evrim teorisi ile ilgili eğitimde başarı elde etmek için biyoloji ve biyoloji eğitimi bölümlerinde evrim eğitiminin kalitesi artırılmalı ve evrim teorisi ile ilgili etkili öğretim stratejileri geliştirilmeli ve uygulanmalıdır.
