Abstract

The aim of this study is to introduce sample activities based on the Prediction-Observation-Explanation (POE) teaching method supported by concept cartoon developed for the teaching of biology subjects within the scope of science teaching laboratory applications-II course and to explain how the application is made. While developing the activities, document analysis method, one of the qualitative research designs, was used. The implementation of the developed activities was carried out with 37 prospective science teachers who took the science teaching laboratory practices-II course at a state university. As a result of the study, sample activities based on the Prediction-Observation-Explanation (POE) teaching method were developed for the teaching of biology subjects within the scope of science teaching laboratory applications course-II. While developing activities based on POE teaching method, concept cartoons can be used to provide discussion and motivation. In addition, students can reach different results in POE teaching practices. Within the framework of the constructivist learning approach, teachers can use the scaffolding techniques (question-answer, topic summaries, flow charts, etc.), both verbally and in activities, in order to eliminate such conflicting situations.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı, fen bilgisi öğretimi laboratuvar uygulamaları-II dersi kapsamında biyoloji konularının öğretimi için geliştirilen kavram karikatürü ile desteklenen Tahmin-Gözlem-Açıklama (POE) öğretim yöntemine dayalı örnek etkinlikleri tanıtmak ve bunların nasıl uygulanacağını açıklamaktır. Etkinlikler geliştirilirken nitel araştırma desenlerinden doküman incelemesi yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Geliştirilen etkinliklerin uygulaması bir devlet üniversitesinde fen bilgisi öğretimi laboratuvar uygulamaları-II dersini alan 37 fen bilgisi öğretmen adayı ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda fen öğretimi laboratuvar uygulamaları dersi-II kapsamında biyoloji konularının öğretimi için Tahmin-Gözlem-Açıklama (POE) öğretim yöntemine dayalı örnek etkinlikler geliştirilmiştir. POE öğretim yöntemine dayalı etkinlikler geliştirilirken tartışma ve motivasyon sağlamak için kavram karikatürleri kullanılabilir. Ayrıca TGA öğretim uygulamalarında öğrencilerin birbirinden farklı sonuçlara ulaşabilir. Yapılandırmacı öğrenme anlayışı çerçevesinde bu tip çelişkili durumların giderilmesi için öğretmenler, gerek sözel olarak gerekse etkinliklerde yapı iskeleti tekniklerinden (soru-cevap, konu özetleri, akış diyagramları vb.) faydalanılabilir.
