Abstract

This study composed of two parts with two main purposes. In the first part of the study the Sun-EarthMoon Model was developed by miniaturizing from their real size and in the second part the effect of this model on the astronomy achievement of preservice science teachers was investigated. In order to examine the changes in the achievement of preservice science teachers, an Astronomy Achievement Test was developed and applied to 60 preservice science teachers as pre-test and post-test. Half of the pre-service science teachers received standard instruction that based on board-chalk-textbook. The rest of them received experimental instruction that taught by using the developed model. As a result of the research, it was seen that the experimental group which was teaching with the model had significant effects in terms of learning and understanding compared to the control group.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın iki amacı vardır ve iki bölümden oluşmaktadır. Çalışmanın birinci bölümünde gerçek boyutlarından küçültülerek Güneş-Dünya-Ay modeli geliştirilmiş, ikinci bölümünde ise bu modelin öğretmen adaylarının astronomi başarıları üzerine etkisi araştırılmıştır. Öğretmen adaylarının astronomi başarılarındaki değişimi incelemek amacıyla Astronomi Başarı Testi geliştirilmiş, 60 öğretmen adayına ön test ve son test olarak uygulanmıştır. Öğrencilerin yarısına ilgili konular, standart öğretim ile anlatılırken, kalan yarısına ise geliştirilen model kullanılarak anlatılmıştır. Araştırmanın sonucunda modelle öğretimin öğrenme ve anlama bakımından önemli etkilere yol açtığı görülmüştür.
