Abstract

Scientific inquiry helps students develop critical thinking abilities and enables students to think and construct knowledge like a scientist. The study describes a method course implementation at a major public teachers college in Turkey. The main goal of the course was to improve research and teaching abilities of prospective physics teachers (N=48) by developing scientific inquiry skills. The impact of the course was measured in two-folds: (a) The results obtained from pre- and post-course scientific inquiry self-evaluations of student teachers, which showed a statistically significant improvement, (b) independently measured scientific inquiry levels, which were found highly correlated with student grades from practical courses. Qualitative data indicated that the student teachers were having difficulties in applying mathematical formula into physics applications.

Özet

Öğretmen adaylarının mesleğe özgü gelişmeleri, bilimsel sorgulama yetilerine bağlı olarak yenilenen ve yinelenen eylem (yineylem) araştırmaları ve öğrenme döngüsü ile sağlanabilir. Bu çalışmada bir yüksek öğretim kurumunda özel öğretim yöntemleri metot dersindeki 48 fizik öğretmen adayının, fizik deneylerini araştırmacı bir bilim insanı gibi bilimsel araştırma formatında tasarlamaları ve uygulamaları ele alınmakta, geliştirilen ve uygulanan modellerin etkinliği nicel ve nitel olarak incelenmektedir. Öğretmen adaylarının deneysel ve araştırma projelerindeki sorgulama becerilerindeki gelişmeyi değerlendikleri ön- ve son test değerlerinde istatiksel anlamlı sonuçlara ulaşılmış; bu sonuçlar yüksek etki büyüklüğünde pratik anlamlılık göstermiştir. Nitel veri analizine göre, öğretmen adaylarının matematik formülasyonunu uygulamaya aktarmakta zorlandıkları; ileri düşünce ve yenilik üretiminde ise yetersiz kaldıkları gözlenmiştir.
