Abstract

The purpose of the current study is to investigate the effect of the interdisciplinary instructional approach-based energy teaching on the pre-service science teachers’ cognitive structure about the concept of energy and their ability to create connections between the concepts. The study was conducted on 66 fourth-year students attending the Science Teaching Department at a state university in the fall term of 2016-2017 academic year for a period of ten weeks. Two study groups were determined in the study, and one of these groups was given the energy instruction by means of the interdisciplinary teaching approach and the other group was given the energy instruction by using the traditional methods. As the data collection tools, “The Independent Word Association Test” and “The Drawing-Writing Technique” were used. In the analysis of the collected data, the descriptive and content analyses were employed. As a result of the study, it was found that the interdisciplinary teaching applications developed and enriched the students’ cognitive structures about the concept of energy.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı, disiplinler arası öğretim yaklaşımına dayalı enerji eğitiminin fen bilgisi öğretmen adaylarının enerji kavramına yönelik bilişsel yapılarına ve kavramlar arası bağlantı kurmalarına olan etkisini incelemektir. Araştırma 2016-2017 öğretim yılı güz döneminde bir devlet üniversitesinin Fen Bilgisi Öğretmenliği Anabilim Dalı’nın 4. sınıfında öğrenim gören 66 öğretmen adayı üzerinde 10 hafta boyunca gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmada iki çalışma grubu belirlenmiş ve bu grupların birinde disiplinler arası öğretim yaklaşımı ile, diğerinde ise mevcut yaklaşımlar ile enerji eğitimi verilmiştir. Çalışmada veri toplama aracı olarak “bağımsız kelime ilişkilendirme testi” ve “çizme-yazma tekniği” kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde, betimsel ve içerik analizleri kullanılarak veriler çözümlenmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda, disiplinler arası öğretim uygulamalarının öğretmen adaylarının enerji kavramına yönelik bilişsel yapılarını geliştirdiği ve zenginleştirdiği görülmüştür.
