Fen Bilgisi ve Sosyal Bilgiler Öğretmen Adaylarının Mevsimler Konusundaki Bilgi Düzeylerinin Paralel Karma Yöntem ile Belirlenmesi

Bu çalışmada fen bilgisi ve sosyal bilgiler öğretmen adaylarının mevsimler konusundaki alan bilgilerinin paralel karma yöntem ile belirlenmesi ve karşılaştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Çalışma Türkiye’nin Karadeniz Bölgesi’ndeki bir üniversitede öğrenim gören fen bilgisi öğretmenliğinden 135, sosyal bilgiler öğretmenliğinden 105 olmak üzere toplam 240 katılımcı ile yapılmıştır. Araştırmada paralel karma desen kullanılmıştır. Nicel veriler araştırmacılar tarafından geliştirilen13 sorudan oluşan mevsimler başarı testinden, nitel veriler ise 5 açık uçlu sorudan elde edilmiştir. Nicel ve nitel veriler birlikte alınmış, ayrı ayrı analiz edilmiş, analiz sonuçları önce ayrı ayrı sonra birlikte yorumlanmıştır. Veri analizi sonucu öğrencilerin mevsimler başarı testinden aldığı puanların ortalaması 7.50 iken, nitel veri aracındaki elde edilen verilerin analizinden doğru açıklamaların frekansının oldukça düşük olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Öğrencilerin gerçek bilgilerinin ortaya çıkarılmasında çoktan seçmeli soruların yeterli olmadığı; fen bilgisi öğretmen adaylarının açık uçlu sorularda, sosyal bilgiler öğretmen adaylarının ise başarı testinde, fen bilgisi öğretmen adaylarının mevsimlerin nedenleri, sosyal bilgiler öğretmen adaylarının ise sonuçları ile ilgili sorularda daha başarılı olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

Determination of Field Information about Seasons of Science and Social Studies Teacher Candidates by Parallel Mixed

In this study, it is aimed to determine and compare the field information of science and social studies teacher candidates on the subject of seasons with parallel mixed method. The study was conducted with 240 participants studying at a university in the Black Sea region of Turkey. For quantitative data, a seasons success test consisting of 13 questions was developed by the researchers and the KR-20 reliability coefficient of this test was 0.53. Qualitative data consist of 5 open ended questions. The quantitative and qualitative data were taken together, analyzed separately, and the analysis results were interpreted separately afterwards. it was found that the frequency of the correct explanations is quite low compared to the analysis of the data obtained from the qualitative data, while the average of the scores obtained by the students from the seasons success test was 7.50. Multiple choice questions are not enough to reveal the true knowledge of the students; In the questions about science teachers 'candidates' reasons for the formation of open-ended questions and seasons; social science teacher candidates were more successful in the test of success and in the results of the seasons.
