Faruk Şimşek¹

Abstract: Öz: Bu araştırmanın amacı ortaokul 7. sınıf fen bilimleri dersinde fen, teknoloji, mühendislik ve matematik (FeTeMM) etkinliklerinin öğrencilerin bilimsel süreç becerileri, fen tutum ve fen ilgileri üzerine etkisini incelemek ve uygulama hakkında öğrenci görüşlerini açığa çıkarmaktır. Yarı deneysel yöntemle yürütülen araştırmanın çalışma grubu, 2017-2018 eğitim-öğretim yılında Osmaniye İli Düziçi ilçesinde merkez bir ortaokulda 26'sı deney ve 26'sı kontrol grubunda olmak üzere toplam 52 öğrenci ile yürütülmüşt… Show more

The aim of the present study was to identify the state of prediction of the critical thinking dispositions of primary school teacher candidates through their self-efficacy for STEM. The study was designed subject to the correlational survey model with the sample group comprised of 295 primary school teacher candidates continuing their education at the two education faculties of a state university in Southeastern Anatolia Region of Turkey during the 2020-2021 academic year who were identified in accordance with the proper sampling method. The data were collected via, "Self-Efficacy Scale for STEM Practices" and "Critical Thinking Disposition Scale". Descriptive analysis was used for determining the self-efficacy for STEM practices and critical thinking dispositions of primary school teacher candidates; correlation analysis was used for illustrating the relationship between self-efficacy for STEM practices and critical thinking disposition along with its sub-dimensions; linear regression analysis was used for identifying the state of prediction for critical thinking disposition and its sub-dimensions through self-efficacy for STEM practices whereas stepwise multiple regression analysis was used for determining the state of prediction for critical thinking disposition through gender and self-efficacy for STEM practices subdimensions. Based on the analysis results, the self-efficacy for STEM practices and critical thinking dispositions of teacher candidates are at a good level. There is a positive and statistically significant correlation between self-efficacy for STEM practices and critical thinking disposition and its sub-dimensions. It was illustrated that self-efficacy for STEM practices is a statistically significant predictor of critical thinking disposition and its sub-dimensions and that tenacity-patience was the variable that was predicted the most among these sub-dimensions whilst the stepwise multiple regression analysis set forth that self-efficacy belief was the predictor that made the highest contribution to critical thinking disposition. Various suggestions were made based on the results of the study.

Bu araştırmanın amacı okul dışı gerçekleştirilen proje tabanlı öğrenme yaklaşımının 6. sınıf öğrencilerin bilimsel süreç becerileri ve fen, teknoloji, mühendislik, matematik (STEM) tutumları üzerine etkisini incelemektir. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu Türkiye'de bir devlet ortaokulunda iki farklı sınıfta öğrenim gören toplam 56 öğrenci oluşturmaktadır. Araştırma 2018-2019 eğitim öğretim yılı ikinci döneminde yapılmıştır. Araştırmada ön test son test kontrol gruplu yarı deneysel desen kullanılmıştır. Deney grubuna mevcut öğretim programının yanında okul dışı proje tabanlı öğrenme yaklaşımı uygulanmış, kontrol grubuna ise sadece mevcut öğretim programı uygulanmıştır. Uygulama öncesi bilimsel süreç becerileri ve STEM tutum ölçeği ön test, uygulama bitiminde ise aynı testler son test olarak uygulanmıştır. Araştırmadan elde edilen bulgular deney grubunun bilimsel süreç becerileri ve STEM tutum ölçeği yönünden kontrol grubuna göre daha yüksek ortalamaya sahip olduğunu ve anlamlı bir fark oluştuğunu göstermektedir.
