ÖĞRETMEN ADAYLARININ “AIDS” KAVRAMI KONUSUNDAKİ BİLİŞSEL YAPILARI: BAĞIMSIZ KELİME İLİŞKİLENDİRME TESTİ ÖRNEĞİ

Bireylerin öğrenme sonucunda oluşan bilişsel yapılarını açıklamak oldukça zor olup, bu yapı ancak anahtar kavramlar hakkında düşüncelerini ortaya çıkararak bu yönde oldukça önemli veriler sağlanabilir ve bireylerin bilişsel yapıları ortaya konulabilir. Çünkü kavramlar hakkında yapılan araştırmalar bireylerin o kavramla ilgili bilişsel yapılarını ortaya çıkarmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, öğretmen adaylarının AIDS ile ilgili bilişsel yapılarını tespit etmektir. Nitel araştırma yaklaşımına göre hazırlanmıştır. Veriler 296 öğretmen adayının katılımıyla toplanmıştır. Amaçlı örneklem seçimi yapılmıştır. Verilerin toplanmasında bağımsız kelime ilişkilendirme testi kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen veriler içerik analizine göre değerlendirilerek kategorilere ayrılmıştır. Çalışmanın güvenirliğine yönelik olarak uzmanlar arası uyum katsayısı %93 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde betimsel istatistiklerden frekans değerleri verilerek tablolaştırılmıştır. Öğretmen adaylarının AIDS kavramı konusundkai bilişsel yapılarına ait model NVivo9.3 programıyla hazırlanmıştır. Analiz sonuçlarına göre, öğretmen adaylarının AIDS ile ilgili kavramsal yapılarında bağımsız kelime ilişkilendirme testiyle toplam 16 kategori belirlenmiştir. Bu kapsamda öğretmen adaylarının AIDS ile ilgili bilişsel yapılarının en fazla “AIDS’in sonuçları, AIDS’in bulaşma yolları ve AIDS’e yönelik algılar” kategorilerinde yoğunlaştığı tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca belirlenen tüm kategorilerde öğretmen adaylarının AIDS kavramı konusunda alternatif kavramlara sahip oldukları tespit edilmiştir. Çalışma sonunda konuyla ilgili öneriler belirtilmiştir.

Anahtar Kelimeler:

AIDS, bağımsız kelime ilişkilendirme testi, alternatif kavramlar, bilişsel yapı

STUDENT TEACHERS’ COGNITIVE STRUCTURE ON THE CONCEPT OF “AIDS”: THE SAMPLE OF FREE WORD ASSOCIATION TEST

However, by revealing individuals’ opinions on certain key concepts, very important data can be obtained and thus individuals’ cognitive structures can be unveiled, because researches on concepts demonstrate individuals’ cognitive structures related to those concepts. The purpose of the current study is to determine student teachers' cognitive structures on the concept of AIDS. Qualitative research methodology has been applied in the study. The data were collected from 296 student teachers. In this study, purposive sampling was employed. Free word association test was used to collect data. The data collected were subject to content analysis and divided into categories. The mean reliability between the encoders was found at 93%. On the other hand, NVivo9.3 software was used in forming the model on student teachers' cognitive structures about the concept of AIDS. Based on the categories, frequency was provided. According to the analyses conducted, while 16 categories were determined through the free word association test in student teachers' cognitive structures on the concept of AIDS. In this context, it was determined through the free word association test that student teachers' cognitive structures focused on “the results of AIDS, path of transmission of AIDS, the perceptions for AIDS” categories. Moreover, the data collected through these data collection instrument indicated that student teachers had alternative conceptions about the concept of AIDS. Finally, further studies can also be conducted to determine the needs necessary to improve student teachers' knowledge of AIDS and evaluate the findings considering further teacher education.
