Abstract

Protein synthesis is a difficult topic to learn among students and teachers in literature. Also detailed research has not been found about the cause and nature of the difficulties encountered in the learning and teaching of this subject. From this point of view, the purpose of this study is to determine the reasons for the learning difficulties that the prospective biology teachers experienced in protein synthesis and the suggested solutions from the perspective of the prospective biology teachers. The sample was 42 fourthgrade prospective teachers who attend to department of biology education at Kazim Karabekir Faculty of Education at Ataturk University in Turkey. In this study, using qualitative research method, prospective teachers were asked to response two open-ended questions. (1) What are the factors that cause you to be forced to learn protein synthesis? (2) What do you recommend to come up with these difficulties? According to the findings obtained the variables affecting the prospective teachers’ learning include classroom settings, textbook, teacher, student and subject. In addition, the findings also indicate that solutions recommended by prospective teachers included in the variables related to classroom setting, textbook, teacher and teaching process.

Özet

Protein sentezi öğrenci ve öğretmenler arasında öğrenme güçlüğü çekilen konular arasındadır. Bununla beraber bu konunun öğrenimi ve öğretiminde karşılaşılan zorlukların nedeni ve doğasına yönelik detaylı bir araştırmaya rastlanılmamıştır. Buradan hareketle bu çalışmanın amacı biyoloji öğretmen adaylarının protein sentezi konusunda karşılaştıkları öğrenme güçlüklerinin nedenleri ve önerilen çözümleri öğretmen adaylarının bakış açısıyla saptamaktır. Çalışmanın örneklemi Türkiye'de Atatürk Üniversitesi, Kazım Karabekir Eğitim Fakültesi, Biyoloji Eğitimi A.B.D.’ nda öğrenim gören 42 dördüncü sınıf öğretmen adayı oluşturmaktadır. Nitel araştırma yönteminin kullanıldığı bu çalışmada öğretmen adaylarına iki açık uçlu soru sorulmuştur: (1) Protein sentezini öğrenmenizde zorlanmanıza sebep olan faktörler nelerdir? (2) Bu zorlukların üstesinden gelmek için neler tavsiye edersiniz?. Elde edilen bulgulara göre öğretmen adaylarının öğrenmede güçlük çekmesine sebep olan faktörler arasında sınıf ortamı, ders kitabı, öğretmen, öğrenci ve konu yer almaktadır. Bununla beraber öğretmen adaylarının bu sorunları gidermede önerdikleri çözümler içerisinde de sınıf ortamı, ders kitabı, öğretmen ve öğretim sürecine ilişkin değişkenlerden kaynaklanan sorunların düzeltilmesi ile mümkün olabileceğini belirtmişlerdir.
