Abstract (2. Language): 
Many teachers are unfamiliar with both the underlying science of toxicology, and the process and importance of peer review in scientific method. The protocol and peer review process was tested with college students at 11 universities around the United States. The overall goal was to promote science education by engaging students in a sociologically authentic scientific research including anonymous peer review. Students were provided with the methods and knowledge to conduct a toxicology experiment and the technology needed for communication. They conducted a bioassay experiment, posted their results on a web, and completed anonymous peer reviews. Data consisted of peer reviews, anonymous online questionnaire, and another questionnaire about students’ experiences and their evaluation of the project. There were statistically significant differences among schools in scores received for the quality of the argument and quality of technical writing. However, the only statistically significant difference concerned the average score received was the quality of technical writing. The findings suggested that the research and peer review protocols could be adapted for use by introductory level college science students, including prospective science teachers.
Abstract (Original Language): 
Fen ögretmenleri genelde toksikoloji alanında temel bilgilere ve bilimsel metotta akran degerlendirmesinin önemi ve süreci hakkında yeterli bilgiye sahip degildir. Fen ögretmen adaylarının bilimsel sorgulama deneyimi yasamaları için orijinal toksikoloji arastırma protokolü ve akran degerlendirme süreci toplam on bir üniversitenin katılımıyla test edilmistir. Projenin amacı ögrencilerin sosyolojik olarak otantik bilimsel arastırma yapmalarını ve bu sürece anonim akran degerlendirmesi entegre ederek fen egitiminin kalitesini yükseltmektir. Arastırma soruları: (a) Katılımcılara göre projenin kuvvetli ve zayıf yönleri nelerdir, aldıkları degerlendirmenin kalite seviyesi nedir? (b) Arastırma raporları akran degerlendirmelerinden nasıl etkilenmistir? Katılımcılar toksikoloji deneyi yapmak ve birbirleriyle iletisim kurmak için ihtiyaç duyacakları teknoloji, bilgi ve metotlar hakkında aldıkları egitimden sonra arastırmalarını tamamladılar. Bilgisayar destekli is birligi yaparak deney raporlarını internetten servis saglayıcıya kaydettiler ve katılımcı diger okullardaki ismini görmedikleri ögrencilerin raporlarını degerlendirerek geri dönüt verdiler. Arastırmanın verilerini akran degerlendirmeleri, dönem sonunda internet üzerinden verilen açık uçlu anket ve katılımcıların proje tecrübelerini degerlendiren diger bir anket olusturdu. Üniversiteler arasında deney raporlarında sunulan “tartısmanın kalitesi” ve “teknik yazının kalitesi” degiskenlerinde istatistikî olarak anlamlı farklar bulunmustur. Sonuçlar proje protokolü ve akran degerlendirmesinin ögretmen yetistirme programları dahil olmak üzere üniversite seviyesinde adapte edilebilecegini göstermistir.
