Fen Eğitiminde Mühendislik Uygulamalarının Kullanımı: Tasarım Temelli Fen Eğitiminin Öğrencilerin Akademik Başarıları Üzerine Etkisi

Bu çalışmada, tasarım temelli fen eğitimi uygulamalarının, ilköğretim 7. sınıf öğrencilerinin Kuvvet ve Hareket ünitesine yönelik akademik başarılarına etkisinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırma, 2013-2014 eğitim-öğretim yılında 30 öğrencinin eğitim gördüğü bir ilköğretim 7. sınıf şubesinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Karma yöntem araştırma desenlerinden iç içe gömülü desenin özel bir türü olarak, tek aşamalı deneysel gömülü desen ekseninde kurgulanan bu araştırmanın yedi hafta süren uygulama süreci, 7. sınıf Kuvvet ve Hareket ünitesi kazanımlarını kapsayacak şekilde organize edilmiş, üç tasarım temelli fen eğitimi modülü çerçevesinde yürütülmüştür. Karma yöntem araştırma metodolojisine uygun olacak şekilde nicel ve nitel verilerin bir arada kullanıldığı bu araştırmada elde edilen bulgular doğrultusunda, tasarım temelli fen eğitiminin öğrencilerin kuvvet ve hareket ünitesine yönelik akademik başarılarının gelişimine katkı sağladığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

–The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of design-based science education practices on the 7th Grade students’ academic achievement in Force and Motion unit. Research was conducted in a 7th grade class with 30 students during the academic year of 2013-2014. The seven-week application phase took place during the 7th grade Force and Motion unit and conducted in a three-design based science education module. Mixed methods were used as a research design, particularly a special type of embedded design, a one-phase experimental embedded pattern design was applied. In accordance with mixed-methods research design, both quantitative and qualitative data were collected. Findings from quantitative and qualitative analysis indicated that design-based science education contributed the academic achievement in Force and Motion unit
