Abstract

This study aimed at examining science teaching and physics students’ attitudes towards astronomy based on certain variables (i.e. department, gender, academic achievement, type of high school graduated from). Survey model was used in the study, and accordingly, the “Astronomy Attitude Scale” developed by Zeilik et al. (1999) and adapted to Turkish by Bilici et al. (2012) was administered to students from two state universities (Department of Science Teaching at the Education Faculty of Eskisehir Osmangazi University, and Department of Physics at the Faculty of Arts and Science of Eskisehir Osmangazi and Anadolu Universities) to gather data. The Cronbach’s alpha internal consistency coefficient was .80 for the scale adapted to Turkish by Bilici et al. (2012). Sixty-eight of the students who participated in the study (64,8%) were female, and 37 (35.2%) were male, while 61 (58.1%) were students in science teaching and 44 (41.9%) were students in physics. The data gathered were analyzed by using SPSS, and the results showed that the students’ attitudes towards astronomy were positive in general.

Özet

Bu araştırmada, Fen Bilgisi Öğretmenliği ve Fizik Bölümü öğrencilerinin astronomiye yönelik tutumlarının bazı değişkenlere göre (bölüm, cinsiyet, akademik başarı, mezun olunan lise türü) incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmada, tarama modeli kullanılmıştır. Model uyarınca, veri toplamak amacıyla, iki devlet üniversitesi (Eskişehir Osmangazi Üniversitesi, Eğitim Fakültesi, Fen Bilgisi Öğretmenliği ve Anadolu ile Eskişehir Osmangazi Üniversitesi, Fen-Edebiyat Fakültesi, Fizik Bölümü) öğrencilerine, Zeilik vd. (1999) tarafından geliştirilen ve Bilici vd. (2012) tarafından Türkçe 'ye uyarlanan "Astronomi Tutum Ölçeği", veri toplama aracı olarak kullanılmıştır. Bilici vd. (2012) tarafından Türkçe 'ye uyarlanan ölçeğin Cronbach alfa iç tutarlık katsayısı .80 olarak belirlenmiştir. Araştırmaya katılan öğrencilerin 68'i (%64.8) kadın iken 37'i (%35.2) erkek öğrencidir. Araştırmaya katılan öğrencilerin 61'i (%58.1) Fen Bilgisi Öğretmenliği Bölümü iken 44'ü (%41.9) Fizik Bölümü öğrencilerinden oluşmaktadır. Elde edilen veriler SPSS paket programı ile analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre öğrencilerin Astronomiye yönelik tutumlarının genel olarak olumlu olduğu görülmektedir
