An investigation on web designed alternative measurement and assessment approach

Bu çalışmanın amacı, “Madde ve Isı” ünitesi için geliştirilen bir alternatif ölçme ve değerlendirme aracını tanıtmak ve öğrenciler üzerindeki etkinliğini araştırmaktır. Öğretim tekniklerinden görüş geliştirme ve alternatif ölçme araçlarından tanılayıcı dallanmış ağaçtan esinlenerek geliştirilen web tasarımlı alternatif ölçme aracı, deneysel bir araştırma yaklaşımıyla Samsun merkezde yer alan bir ilköğretim okulunda 62 öğrencinin katılımıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, hazırlanmış olan web tasarımlı ölçme aracının kullanıldığı deney grubu öğrencilerinin başarılarında, geleneksel öğretim yaklaşımının kullanıldığı kontrol grubu öğrencilerine göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir değişikliğin olduğu görülmüştür. Buna karşın, öğrencilerin fen ve teknoloji dersine yönelik tutumlarında ise anlamlı bir farklılık gözlenmemiştir. Web tasarımlı alternatif ölçme aracının 6, 7 ve 8. sınıf fen ve teknoloji müfredatının tüm ünitelerini kapsayacak şekilde geliştirilmesinin hem öğrencilere hem de öğretmenlere önemli katkılar sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.

Web deseni üzerine alternatif ölçme ve değerlendirme yaklaşımı araştırması

The purpose of the present study has been to explore the effect on students of an alternative measurement and assessment tool developed for the science unit on “Matter and Heat.” Inspired by the teaching technique of concept development and the alternative measurement tool of the descriptive branched tree, an alternative measurement tool of web design was developed to conduct experimental research with 62 students at a primary school in Samsun. Results showed that, compared to the control group students who were instructed with traditional teaching approaches, the experimental group students who were tested with the web-based measurement tool recorded a statistically significant difference in achievement in the unit on “Matter and Heat.” No significant difference, however, was observed in these students’ attitudes toward the science and technology lessons. It is believed that developing an alternative measurement tool of web design encompassing all of the units of the 6th, 7th and 8th grade science and technology curriculum will be of benefit to students and will make an important contribution to the work of teachers.
