Abstract

The main purpose of this research is to investigate the use of concept maps as an alternative assessment tool in Science and Technology courses. In accordance with this main purpose, the study aimed at scoring concept maps, and comparing concepts in concept maps with the answers given by students to multiple choice test questions related to the same concepts. The participants of this research were 30 seventh-grade students. The results showed that students had difficulties in making connections between the key concepts and creating linking phrases. On the other hand, they answered the test questions related to the same concepts in concept maps correctly. Using structural and relational scoring methods to evaluate the concept maps, the scores showed a significant and strong correlation between these two scoring methods

Özet

Bu araştırmanın temel amacı fen ve teknoloji derslerinde kavram haritalarının değerlendirme aracı olarak kullanımının incelenmesidir. Bu temel amaç doğrultusunda araştırmada, kavram haritalarının puanlandırılması ve kavram haritalarında kullanılan kavramlar ile aynı kavramlara ilişkin çoktan seçmeli test sorularına verilen öğrenci cevaplarının karşılaştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Araştırma 7.sınıfta öğrenim gören 30 öğrenci ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda öğrencilerin kavram haritalarında konu ile ilgili anahtar kavramları birbirleriyle ilişkilendirmede ve kavramlar arası bağlantılar oluşturmada zorlanırken, aynı kavramlara ilişkin çoktan seçmeli test sorularını doğru cevapladıkları tespit edilmiştir. Yapısal ve ilişkisel puanlama yöntemleri ile değerlendirilen kavram haritalarından elde edilen puanlar, iki puanlama tekniği arasında anlamlı ve yüksek bir korelasyon olduğunu göstermiştir
