Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate how physics terms in secondary
school Science and Technology textbooks is perceived by students. Case
study and documentary analysis were used as research methods, and the study
was implemented with 26 seventh grade students in a secondary school in district
of Yenişehir, Bursa. The physics terms and descriptive words that students
have difficulty to understand in “electricity in our life” unit in grade 6 Science
and Technology class were determined. Data was collected by 10 two-step questions
developed related to these words. The findings show that students have
difficulties to identify, discriminate and interpret the physics terms and descriptive
words in science textbooks. In this study, it is concluded that there is a lack
of using the physics language as a thinking and speaking tool, and everyday
language is preferred more than scientific language by the students in explaining
physics terms
