<span>In this research, the environmental identity of pre-service science teachers and their behaviors towards environmental problems were examined according to gender and grade. In the study, a path diagram is formed by evaluating the relationship between the variables. 215 pre-service science teachers of a university in Turkey, have participated in the study. The Environmental Identity Scale and the Environmental Problems Behaviour Scale were used as data collection tools. In the research, it was found that female students' averages environmental identity score was higher than males’ average score. There was no significant difference between pre-service teachers' environmental identity according to grade. It was found that female students’ average behavior score towards environmental problems was significantly higher than the average score of males. In the study, it was found that the average behavior scores towards environmental problems of the pre-service science teachers who are in the third and fourth grade were significantly higher than the average scores of the first and second-grade students. The research revealed a moderate relationship between pre-service science teachers' environmental identity and their behaviors towards environmental problems. 18% of the change in the behaviors of pre-service teachers towards environmental problems can be explained by their environmental identity</span>
The purpose of this study is to find out pre-service teachers’ views about the use of technology in science and middle school mathematics courses. For this purpose, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 30 pre-service teachers studying in a university in Central Anatolia Region during the spring semester of 2017-2018 academic year. The obtained data were analyzed using content analysis by the researchers. According to the findings, pre-service teachers thought that computer, smart board, projector, laboratory equipment, notebook, and pencil are the main technologies that can be used in the classroom. The participants also thought that presentation and video processing programs make course interesting and enjoyable, visualize the topic, make learning easier, and enable the permanent learning. However, they also stated that preparing a presentation and video processing program may be time consuming and boring if it is used throughout the course; and the program may not be useful for every subject. The participants found blogs and web pages useful since they give opportunities to share course content, materials, and information, make announcements to make students prepared for the course. Almost all the participants believed that technological equipment of their classroom definitely affect their teaching. Namely, in an ill-equipped class, the students would have difficulty in learning, tend to memorize things; also their attitudes, interests, and motivations towards the course, and participation in the lesson would be affected; and their learning would not be permanent.
Akranlarından çok daha farklı özelliklere sahip olan üstün zekâlı çocuklar; potansiyelleri, yetenekleri ve ihtiyaçları doğrultusunda bir eğitim almalıdırlar. Bunun içinse öncelikle üstün zekâlı çocukların doğru bir şekilde tanılanmaları gerekir. Ancak halen parlak zekâlı çocuklar ve üstün zekâlı çocuklar karıştırılabilmektedir. Bu da bazen gerçekten üstün zekâlı olan bir çocuğun gözden kaçırılarak ihmal edilmesine ya da üstün zekâlı olmayan bir çocuğun yanlış 'etiketlenerek' potansiyelinin üstünde bir eğitim almaya zorlanmasına yol açmaktadır. Bu bağlamda mevcut çalışmada, Türkiye'de ve yurt dışında üstün zekâlı çocukların tanılanma süreçleri hakkında bilgi vererek üstün zekâlı çocukların eğitiminde görev üstlenen paydaşlara ve konu ile ilgili araştırmacılara yardımcı olmak hedeflenmiştir. Ayrıca bu çalışma ile üstün zekâlı çocuklara ve eğitimlerine dikkat çekmek istenmiştir.
In this study, which aims to reveal the perceptions of eighth grade students about renewable energy sources by science cartoons, phenomenology is used. Participants are 20 students totally, who are studying in a secondary school in Kayseri in the second semester of the academic year of 2014-2015, determined by criterion sampling, and 12 female and 8 male at the eighth grade level. Process of the study lasted 4 weeks. Science cartoons drawn by the students and semi-structured interviews were used as data collection tools in the study. The data were analyzed by content analysis. As a result of the research it was seen that the participants could not define the energy and make sufficient explanations about the energy conversion and some students had incorrect information. In addition, the research data also show that the examples given by the participants on renewable energy sources and non-renewable energy sources are correct and inadequate. This situation can be achieved with trainings which will increase the level of awareness of the students about energy problems, renewable energy sources, non-renewable energy sources and energy saving. Also, it seems essential to make the concepts concrete and associate them with daily life and to realize permanent learning. ÖZ:Sekizinci sınıf öğrencilerinin yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarına ilişkin algılarını bilim karikatürleri aracılığıyla ortaya koymayı amaçlayan bu çalışmada nitel araştırma yönteminden olgu bilim (fenomenoloji) deseni kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın katılımcıları 2014-2015 eğitim-öğretim yılı ikinci yarıyılında Kayseri'de bir ortaokulda öğrenim görmekte olan, ölçüt örnekleme ile belirlenen ve sekizinci sınıf düzeyinde 12'si kız 8'i erkek toplam 20 öğrencidir. Çalışma 4 hafta sürmüştür. Çalışmada veri toplama aracı olarak öğrenciler tarafından çizilen bilim karikatürleri ve araştırmacının öğrencilerle gerçekleştirdiği yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmelerden yararlanılmış, dokümanlardan elde edilen veriler içerik analizi ile çözümlenirken yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmelerin analizi betimsel analiz ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda katılımcıların enerjiyi tanımlayamadıkları, enerji dönüşümüne ilişkin yeterli açıklamalar yapamadıkları ve bazı öğrencilerin doğru olmayan bilgilere sahip oldukları görülmüştür. Ayrıca araştırma verileri, katılımcılar tarafından yenilenebilir enerji kaynakları ve yenilenemez enerji kaynaklarına ilişkin verilen örneklerin doğru olmakla beraber yetersiz olduğunu da göstermektedir. Bu durumun öğrencilerin enerji sorunları, yenilenebilir enerji kaynakları, yenilenemez enerji kaynakları ve enerji tasarrufu konularında farkındalık düzeylerini artıracak, kavramları somutlaştırıp günlük hayatla ilişkilendirerek kalıcı öğrenmeler gerçekleştirecek bir eğitimle giderilebileceği düşünülmektedir.Anahtar kelimeler: bilim karikatürleri, fenomenoloji, yenilenebilir enerji kaynakları, öğrenci algıları.
