Kavram ve Zihin Haritası Kullanımının Öğrencilerin Kavramları Anlama Düzeyleri ile Fen ve Teknolojiye Yönelik Tutumları Üzerindeki Etkileri

THE EFFECTS OF THE USE OF CONCEPT AND MIND MAP ON STUDENTS’ CONCEPTUAL UNDERSTANDINGS AND ATTITUDES TOWARD SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

Journal Name:

Abstract (2. Language): 
This study examined the use of concept maps and mind maps in science and technology teaching on students’ conceptual understanding levels and attitudes towards science and technology. Employing a non-equivalent pretest-post-test control group design, the study had a sample of 51 students, 17 in the concept maps, 17 in the mind maps group, and 17 in the control group. The experimental application continued for four weeks on the unit of sound and light in the science and technology course with the participation of sixth-grade students. The results of the study demonstrated that the use of concept maps and mind maps in science and technology courses did not cause any significant difference on students’ levels of learning concepts and their attitudes towards science and technology. The study also found a post-test decrease in the scores of the group taught using concept maps, and the study results were interpreted in the light of the relevant literature.
Abstract (Original Language): 
Çalışmada fen ve teknoloji öğretiminde kavram haritaları ve zihin haritalarının kullanımının öğrencilerin kavramları anlama düzeyleri ve fen ve teknolojiye yönelik tutumları üzerindeki etkileri araştırılmıştır. Eşitlenmemiş-denkleştirilmemiş ön test-son test kontrol gruplu desenin kullanıldığı araştırmaya deney gruplarında 17’şer ve kontrol grubunda 17 olmak üzere toplam 51 öğrenci katılmıştır. Deneysel uygulama altıncı sınıf öğrencilerinin katılımıyla fen ve teknoloji derslerinden ses ve ışık ünitesinde dört hafta süre ile devam etmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda fen ve teknoloji derslerinde kavram haritaları ve zihin haritaları uygulamalarının öğrencilerin kavramları öğrenme düzeyleri ile fen ve teknolojiye yönelik tutumları üzerinde anlamlı bir farklılığa neden olmadığı görülmüştür. Çalışmada ayrıca kavram haritalarıyla öğrenim gören grubun puanlarının son testte düşüş gösterdiği belirlenmiş ve araştırmadan elde edilen sonuçlar ilgili literatür göz önüne alınarak değerlendirilmiştir.
