Öz

Bu çalışmada, 6. sınıf “Ses ve Özellikleri” ünitesinde yer alan kavramlara yönelik argümantasyon tabanlı bilim öğrenme (ATBÖ) yaklaşımına dayalı öğretim materyalleri geliştirmek ve öğrencilerin argümantasyon düzeyleri ile kavramsal anlamalarını incelemek amacıyla nitel araştırma yaklaşımlarından durum çalışması kullanılmıştır. Veri toplama aracı olarak öğrencilerin uygulama öncesinde ve uygulama sürecinde doldurdukları etkinlik kâğıtları ve uygulama sonrasında yapılan yarı yapılandırılmış mülakat kullanılmıştır. Öğrencilerin argümantasyon düzeylerini belirlemek için Erduran ve diğerleri (2004) tarafından geliştirilen bir rubrik kullanılmıştır. Yarı yapılandırılmış mülakat verileri betimsel analize tabi tutulmuştur. Kavramla ilgili sorulara verilen yanıtlar doğru, kısmen doğru, yanlış ya da boş olarak kodlanmıştır. Bu kategoriler ve frekans dağılımları örnek öğrenci ifadeleri ile tablolaştırılmıştır. Çalışmanın sonuçları, ilk etkinlikler sırasında öğrencilerin argümantasyon seviyesinin başlangıçta 1. seviyede olduğunu göstermektedir. Etkinlikler ilerledikçe 2. seviye argümanların sayısında artış olmuş, bazı etkinliklerde 3. seviye örneklerine de rastlanmıştır. Ancak 4. veya 5. seviye argüman üretilmemiştir. Geliştirilen materyallerin öğrencilerin kavramsal öğrenmeleri üzerinde olumlu bir etkisi olmuştur.

Development of Argumentation-Based Guidance Materials in Science Education and Analysis of Students’ Argumentation Levels

Yıl 2025, Cilt: 18 Sayı: 2, 367 - 384, 25.04.2025

Öz

This study used a case study, one of the qualitative research methods, with the aim of developing guidance materials based on the argumentation-based science learning (ABSL) approach for concepts in the 6th grade unit "Sound and Its Properties" and to examine students' argumentation levels and conceptual understanding. The activity sheets completed by the students before and during the implementation process and the semi-structured interviews conducted after the implementation process were used as data collection instruments. A rubric developed by Erduran et al. (2004) was used to address one of the sub-research questions of the study to determine students' level of argumentation. The semi-structured interview data were subjected to descriptive analysis. Responses to conceptual questions were coded as correct, partially correct, incorrect or blank. These categorizations were then summarized in tables, including representative student statements. The results of this study indicate that the students' level of argumentation during the first activities was initially at level 1. As the activities progressed, there was an increase in the number of level 2 arguments, with some activities reaching level 3. However, no level 4 or 5 arguments were produced. The developed materials had a positive effect on students' conceptual learning.

Etik Beyan

In this study, all the rules specified to be followed within the scope of "Higher Education Institutions Scientific Research and Publication Ethics Directive" were complied with. None of the actions specified under the title of "Actions Contrary to Scientific Research and Publication Ethics", which is the second part of the directive, were not carried out. Ethics committee approval dated 04.01.2022 and numbered 2022/12 was obtained from Recep Tayyip Erdoğan University Social and Human Sciences Ethics Committee for this study. The study was produced from the master's thesis named " Based guide materials in science education and investigation of students' argument levels 6th grade students' argument levels".
