EPİSTEMOLOJİK İNANIŞLAR VE BUNLARIN ÖĞRENCİLERİN FEN DERSLERİNİ ÖĞRENMESİNE ETKİLERİ

Öz

There are an accumulating pile of evidences that the previously epistemological believes of students’ mostly may led to poor understanding nature of science. It is well known that during shaping individuals’ epistemological believes the inquiry take part as an essential factor. The inquiry included steps such as questioning, making strategies in order to find out answers, their analysis and making comment about them. It is generally accepted that the inquiry and find out answers are the main subject of epistemology. In this literature review I tried to find out how students’ present epistemological believes effects their understanding nature of science. It has been recommended that in order to make more understandable nature of science for students, the basic principles of epistemology suggested by Lederman and others should be modified according to students’ inquiry.

ЭПИСТОМОЛОГИЧЕСКИЕ СУЕВЕРИЯ И ИХ ВЛИЯНИЕ НА УЧАЩИХСЯ, ИЗУЧАЮЩИХ ЕСТЕСТВЕННЫЕ НА УКИ

Öz

Эпистемологические суеверия формируются, когда есть необходимость в них. Потребность в них включает в себя вопросы, определение стратегии для поиска ответа, анализ и комментирование их. В этой статье рассматривается вопрос, как эпистемологические взгляды учащихся могут повлиять на их освоение естественнонаучных дисциплин.

EPİSTEMOLOJİK İNANIŞLAR VE BUNLARIN ÖĞRENCİLERİN FEN DERSLERİNİ ÖĞRENMESİNE ETKİLERİ

Öz

Öğrencilerin mevcut epistemolojik inanışlarının öğrencilerin bilimin doğasını kavramalarında bir kısım sorunlara yol açtığı bilinmektedir. Epistemolojik inanışların şekillenmesinde bireylerin gereksinmeleri ana faktör olarak rol oynar. Gereksinme soru sorma, cevaplarının araştırılması için stratejiler geliştirilmesi ve bunları analiz edilmesi ve yorumlanması basamaklarını içerir. Bu nedenle ihtiyaç duyma ve buna bağlı olarak ortaya çıkan sorulara cevap aranması epistemolojinin esasını oluşturur. Bu çalışmada öğrencilerin mevcut epistemolojik görüşlerinin öğrencilerin bilimin doğasını daha iyi anlaşılabilmeleri için nasıl geliştirilebileceği tartışılmıştır. Buna göre öğrencilerin bilimin doğasını daha iyi kavrayabilmeleri için Lederman vd. tarafından tanımlanan epistemolojinin temel prensiplerinin öğrencilerin bilimin doğasını kavramalarına yardımcı olacak şekilde geliştirilerek tekrar kullanılması önerilmiştir.
