Abstract

This study aimed at determining how energy concept is perceived in different disciplines and if there is a difference among these disciplines. To gather data, a word association test (WAT) was used. In the WAT, it is expected from the pre-service teachers (biology, science, physics and chemistry) to express the first ten words that come to their mind when they hear the word "energy" and form a sentence with the words expressed by them. 325 pre-service teachers in total have participated in this study. The data obtained from word association test were evaluated with descriptive analysis techniques. In data analysis, the answers provided by each pre-service teacher were analyzed following the implementation and then a frequency table was drawn. Concept networks were drawn based on answer concepts. The sentences formed by the pre-service teachers were analyzed by a coding system. In consequence of the analysis, it were determined some categorie such as forms of energy/sources of energy, energy units/formulas, common concepts of energy in physics and chemistry, energy for the continuity of life, energy from the perspective of chemistry and the properties of energy. It was revealed that pre-service teachers had similar knowledge insufficiencies and misconceptions about energy and related concepts.

Özet

Bu çalışmada, enerji kavramının farklı disiplinler tarafından nasıl algılandığı ve aralarında farklılık olup olmadığı belirlenmeye çalışılmıştır. Veri toplamak amacıyla kelime ilişkilendirme testi (KİT) kullanılmıştır. KİT’te, öğretmen adaylarından (biyoloji, fen bilgisi, fizik ve kimya) ‘enerji’ denilince akıllarına gelen ilk on kelimeyi sıralamaları ve anahtar kavram ve belirtikleri kelimeler ile ilgili bir cümle kurmaları beklenmiştir. Çalışmaya 325 öğretmen adayı katılmıştır. Kelime ilişkilendirme testinden elde edilen veriler, betimsel analiz teknikleri ile değerlendirilmiştir. Veri analizinde, enerji kavramı için öğrencilerin verdikleri cevap kavramların frekansları belirlenmiş ve bu cevap kavramlar kategorileştirilmiştir. Cevap kavramlardan yola çıkılarak kavram ağları çizilmiştir. Testte yer alan cümleler bir kodlama sistemi ile analiz edilmiştir. Analiz sonucunda, enerji çeşitleri/enerji kaynakları, birim/formül, fizik ve kimya ortak kavramları, yaşam sürekliliği için enerji, biyoloji kavramları, fizik kavramları, kimya kavramları, enerji ile ilgili günlük kullanımlar ve enerjinin özellikleri şeklinde kategoriler belirlenmiştir. Öğretmen adaylarının enerji ve ilgili kavramlar hakkında benzer bilgi eksikliklerine ve yanılgılarına sahip oldukları belirlenmiştir.
