Abstract

Students’ pre-existing conceptions about science topics should be taken into consideration when preparing course content. Cloning is an important issue in the context of biological literacy; but the information about cloning in the media is usually unscientific. In this study, secondary school students’ pre-existing conceptions about cloning were examined. To this end, semi-structured interviews were carried out with six 11th grade students, and qualitative content analysis was done. Consequently, various student notions about cloning were determined. Students thought that cloning is producing a copy of a living thing and they had difficulty in explaining cloning in general. It was common among students to think that clones are only artificially produced by humans. Moreover, four thinking patterns were determined as a result of the research, namely, “Genetic Determinism”, “Effect of Gene and Environment Together”, “Cloning as a Reproduction Technology”, and “Cloning as Genetic Engineering”. The deterministic view about genes has been observed to shape students' thoughts about clones. It was seen that students’ conceptions about cloning were especially influenced by informal resources such as the Internet, science-fiction movies, or social media. Based on the conceptions obtained as a result of the research, suggestions were made about the teaching of cloning.

Özet

Öğrencilerin fen konularına yönelik ders öncesinde sahip oldukları düşünceler, ders içeriklerini hazırlarken dikkate alınmalıdır. Klonlama, biyolojik okuryazarlık bağlamında önemli bir konudur ve medyada genellikle bilimsel gerçeklere uymayan bilgiler halinde yer almaktadır. Bu araştırmada, ortaöğretim öğrencilerinin klonlama konusunda ders öncesinde sahip oldukları düşünceler incelenmiştir. Bu amaçla 11. sınıf düzeyinde 6 öğrenci ile yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme ve içerik analizi yapılmıştır. Sonuç olarak klonlama konusu ile ilgili çeşitli öğrenci fikirleri tespit edilmiştir. Bu fikirlerden biri klonlamanın canlının kopyasını üretmek olduğu şeklindedir. Aynı zamanda genel olarak öğrenciler klonlama olayını açıklamakta zorluk çekmişlerdir. Öğrencilerde klonların sadece yapay olarak, insanlar tarafından üretildiği düşüncesi yaygındır. Araştırma sonucunda “Genetik Determinizm”, “Gen ve Çevrenin Birlikte Etkisi”, “Üreme Teknolojisi Olarak Klonlama” ve “Genetik Mühendislik Olarak Klonlama” olmak üzere dört düşünce figürü tespit edilmiştir. Genler hakkında deterministik görüşün öğrencilerin klonlarla ilgili düşüncelerini şekillendirdiği görülmüştür. Öğrencilerin klonlama ile ilgili düşüncelerinin özellikle internet, bilim kurgu filmleri veya sosyal medya gibi informal kaynaklardan etkilendiği görülmüştür. Araştırma sonucunda elde edilen düşüncelerden yola çıkarak klonlama konusunun öğretimiyle ilgili önerilerde bulunulmuştur.
