Abstract

In this article, the students teachers’ opinions, including rock formation and improper terms related to or different from these ideas, all of which are considered or must be considered in geology classes, have been analyzed. Alternative conception is used to inform our understanding of students teachers’ ideas and describe any conceptual difficulties which are different from or inconsistent with the accepted scientific definition. The sample consists of 24 student teachers. We have stated that most student teachers have different alternative conceptions in mind even though they have previously followed one undergraduate Earth Sciences course. In order to explain the student teachers alternatives conceptions regarding rock formation, four basic unconscious beliefs have been discovered and described from the results of the analyses. These four beliefs, defined as: Rock - Scales of Space and Time - Stable Earth - Human Intervention, are used with the purpose of explaining the considered database outputs and alternative conceptions.

Özet

Bu çalışmada sınıf öğretmeni adaylarının yer bilimleri derslerinde öğretilen kaya oluşumu hakkındaki düşünceleri ve bilimsel anlayışlara göre farklı, bu düşüncelerin oluşum nedenleri analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmada, kabul edilmiş bilimsel tanımlara göre farklı ya da hatalı olan öğretmen adaylarının düşünceleri alternatif kavramlar olarak tanımlanmıştır. Örneklemini 24 sınıf öğretmeni adayının oluşturduğu çalışmada veri analizleri nitel olarak ger- çekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmada, öğretmen adaylarının çoğunun yer bilimleri konusunda lisans seviyesinde bir ders almış olmalarına rağmen yer bilimleri öğretiminde sıklıkla karşılaşılan dört temel alternatif kavram modeline sahip oldukları saptanmıştır. Kaya, uzay-zaman, sabit Yerküre ve insan faktörü olarak belirlenen alternatif kavram kalıplarının oluşum nedenleri incelenerek verimli bir öğretim için önerilerde bulunulmuştur.
