Ortaokul 3.Sınıf Öğrencilerinin Okuma Yarışması Problemi Üzerinde Bilişsel Modelleme Yeterlikleri

Bu çalışmanın amacı Okuma Yarışması Problemi yardımıyla ortaokul 3. sınıf öğrencilerinin bilişsel modelleme yeterliklerini ortaya koymaktır. Araştırma Karadeniz bölgesinde, büyük bir ilin küçük bir ilçesinde bulunan düşük sosyo- ekonomik düzeye sahip bir devlet okulunda uygulanmış nitel bir çalışmadır. Altı haftalık bir ön çalışma ardından esas çalışmada yer alacak odak gruptaki üç öğrenci ölçüt örnekleme yöntemi kullanılarak belirlenmiştir. Oluşturulan odak gruba model oluşturma etkinliği olan Okuma Yarışması Problemi verilerek çalışmaları istenmiş ve tüm süreç video ile kayıt altına alınmıştır. Video kayıtları yazılı olarak çözümlendikten sonra öğrencilerin çalışma kâğıtlarıyla beraber Maaß’ın bilişsel modelleme yeterlikleri çerçevesi kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Çalışma sonuçları öğrencilerin problemde verilen beş değişkenden sadece biri üzerinde gerçek hayat problemini anlamaktan doğrulama yeterliğine kadar olan tüm bilişsel yeterlikler üzerinde çalışırken diğer dört değişken üzerinde ise farklı yeterlikler ortaya koymuşlardır.

Anahtar Kelimeler:

Cognitive Modeling Competencies of Third-Year Middle School Students: The Reading Contest Problem

The purpose of this study is to reveal cognitive modeling competencies of third-year-middle school students with the help of the Reading Contest Problem. A qualitative research was conducted on a state school located in a small county of a big city in the Black Sea Region. After a six week preliminary study, the focus group included three students was selected among the classroom using criteria sampling strategies and then asked to work on the model eliciting activity of the Reading Contest Problem and the entire process was recorded on video. A written transcript was made of the video recording, after which the recording and the students' worksheets were analyzed using the Maaß’s cognitive modeling competencies. The results of the study revealed that students worked on only one of the five cognitive modeling competencies given in the problem, from understanding the real-world problem to validating the result. They showed different competencies on the others.
