Effectiveness of 5e Learning Cycle Instruction on Students’ Achievement in Cell Concept and Scientific Epistemological Beliefs

Effectiveness of 5e Learning Cycle Instruction on Students’ Achievement in Cell Concept and Scientific Epistemological Beliefs

Bu çalışmanın amacı 5E öğrenme modelinin 6.sınıf öğrencilerinin hücre konusundaki başarı ve bilimsel epistemolojik inançları üzerine etkisini araştırmaktır. Epistemolojik İnanç ölçeği ve Hücre Kavram testi dört ayrı sınıfta okuyan toplam 153 altıncı sınıf öğrencisine ön-test ve son-test olarak uygulanmıştır. Uygulamada iki sınıf deney ve kontrol grubu olarak seçilmiştir. Deney grubundaki öğrenciler dersi 5E öğrenme modeli ile işlerken, kontrol grubundaki öğrenciler dersi geleneksel öğretim yöntemi ile işlemişlerdir. Veriler çokyönlü varyans analizi kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Sonuçlar her iki grup arasında deney grubu lehine anlamlı bir fark olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Ayrıca, 5E öğrenme modeli ile öğrenim gören deney grubu öğrencilerinin hücre konusundaki başarılarının ve bilimsel epistemolojik inançlarının, kontrol grubu öğrencilerine göre anlamlı derecede yüksek olduğu bulunmuştur.
