Fen Derslerinde Alternatif Kavramların Araştırılmasının Önemi: Kuramsal Bir Yaklaşım

Fen derslerinde anlamayı sağlamak geleceğin bilim toplumunu yetiştirmenin temel dinamiklerindendir. Bu makalemizde fen derslerinde öğrencilerin anlamalarını sağlamanın önündeki en önemli engellerden birisi olarak sunulan alternatif kavramların ne olduğu, neden araştırılması gerektiği altında yatan kuramsal yapının tarihi gelişimiyle birlikte sunulmuştur. Daha sonra, fen eğitimi alanında yapılan kavramsal anlama çalışmalarında, öğrencilerinin alternatif kavramlarının araştırmacılar tarafından tanımlanmasında kullanılan terminoloji üzerinde durulduktan sonra, bu kavramların ortaya çıkarılmasının fen öğretimi ve araştırmaları açısından önemi değerlendirilmiştir.

The Importance of the Investigation of Alternative Conceptions in Science Classes: A Theoretical Approach

Developing understanding in science classes is one of the basic components of producing scientifically literate society of the future. In this article, the requirement of the study of alternative conceptions, which are introduced as one of the most important barriers in developing understanding in science, are described through with historical developments of their underlying theoretical details. Then, the terminology used by the researchers, who study students' conceptual understanding, for defining students' alternative ideas is discussed. Finally, the importance of eliciting students' ideas for science education and science education researches is outlined.
