Abstract

This research aims to demonstrate high school students’ cognitive structures and views about GMOs. This research employs Phenomenology- one of the qualitative research methods. The research group was composed of 205 students attending various high schools chosen through purposeful sampling. A 3-part form was used as the data collection tool. Part one contained a word association test while part two contained views and part three contained a section for drawings. The data were evaluated with content analysis. Consequently, it was found that the participating students’ 1024 concepts about GMOs were divided into 5 categories and their 156 drawings were divided into 5 categories. It was found that conceptual framework in relation to GMO had not been formed completely in the participants. On examining the drawings, it was found that students made drawings about the harm of GMOs to health most.

Özet

Öz. Bu araştırmada lise öğrencilerinin GDO’ya ilişkin bilişsel yapıları ve görüşlerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırma nitel desende tarama modelindedir. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu amaçlı örneklem tekniği ile seçilen ve farklı liselerde okuyan 205 öğrenci oluşturmaktadır. Veri toplama aracı olarak 3 bölümde oluşan bir form kullanılmıştır. Formun ilk bölümünde kelime ilişkilendirme testi, ikinci bölümde görüşler ve üçüncü bölümde ise çizimlerin yapılacağı kısım bulunmaktadır. Veriler içerik analizi yapılarak değerlendirilmiştir. Sonuç olarak araştırmaya katılan öğrencilerin GDO ile ilgili 1024 kavramın 5, 156 çizimin ise 5 kategoride toplandığı görülmüştür. Araştırmaya katılan öğrencilerde GDO ile ilgili kavramsal çatının tam oluşmadığı gözlenmiştir. Yapılan çizimler incelendiğinde ise en çok GDO’nun sağlığa zararları ile ilgili çizimlerin yapıldığı belirlenmiştir.
