“…While some students think that there isn't any space between liquid or gas particles, most of the students think that there isn't any space between the solid particulates. The results of a study carried out by Boz (2006), also overlap these results. It was estimated that students think the particulates in a solid cannot move because there isn't any space that they can move.…”

“…Similarly, it was reported in the studies done by Durmuş and Bayraktar (2010) and Eskilsson and Hellden (2003) that students think gases do not have any weight. Boz (2006), Griffiths and Preston (1992), Özmen (2011), Özmen, Ayas and Coştu (2002), Özmen and Kenan (2007), Pereira and Pestana (1991) and Valanides (2000) that they think when a liquid turns into gas state, size of the particulate will grow. Besides, Gabel, Samuel and Hunn (1987), Özmen (2011) and Özmen and Kenan (2007) determined that students in all grades and even teachers think the number of the particulates varies in different temperatures and phase change.…”

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of activities developed in accordance with PDEODE teaching strategy on students' understanding of the particulate nature of matter. The sample of the study consists of the first grade students who study in the Primary School Teacher Education Program. In order to determine the conceptual change on students a test consisting of 8 questions was applied to the sample. This test was applied as pre-test, post-test and delayed post-test. The difference between the measurements was found statistically significant (p<0.05). This result shows that the treatment promotes the conceptual change and enhances students' conceptual understanding. As a result of a post-hoc test (Tukey HSD test) it was established that there is a statistically significant difference between the means of pre-test and post-test, and pre-test and delayed test (p<0.05), there isn't a significant difference between the means of post-test and delayed test (p>0.05).

“…Öğrencilerin fen kavramlarını öğrenmeye çalışırken zorlanmalarının (Boz, 2006) sebeplerinden biri karşılaştıkları bağlamlarla fen kavramlarını ilişkilendirememeleridir (Stolk, Bulte, De Jong ve Pilot, 2012). McLeod (2003) yapılandırmacı kuramın benimsendiği öğrenme ortamlarında öğrenci dikkatini yoğunlaştırmak için dersin bir bağlam temelinde gerçekleştirilmesi gerektiğini söylemektedir.…”

Bu araştırma, REACT stratejisine yönelik geliştirilen öğretim materyallerinin öğrencilerin "Yoğunluk" kavramı ile bağlamları ilişkilendirmeleri üzerine etkisini incelenmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Araştırma deneysel araştırma yönteminin ön testson test kontrol gruplu deseni ile yürütülmüştür. Deney grubu 50, kontrol grubu 51 olmak üzere 101, 6. Sınıf öğrencisi araştırmaya katılmıştır. Geliştirilen öğretim materyali animasyonlardan, çalışma yapraklarından ve örnek olaylardan oluşmaktadır. Öğretim materyali "sıcak hava balonu ve çalışma prensibi" ana bağlamı çerçevesinde geliştirilmiş ve REACT stratejisinin her basamağında bağlamsal öğrenmeye dikkat edilmiştir. Veriler açık uçlu sorulardan oluşan bağlam testi ve yarı yapılandırılmış mülakat sorularıyla toplanmıştır. Elde edilen bulgular deney grubunda yürütülen öğretim materyalinin kontrol grubunda yürütülen öğretim materyaline göre daha etkili olduğunu göstermektedir. Öğrencilerin günlük 1 Maddenin Yapısı ve Özellikleri Ünitesi Kapsamında REACT Stratejisine Yönelik Tasarlanan Öğretim Materyallerinin Etkililiğinin Değerlendirilmesi" başlıklı doktora tezinden üretilmiştir.
