Argumentation-based learning is important for individuals to gain a place in social life, to adapt themselves to social life, to solve the problems they encounter and to use critical and scientific approaches. At this point, it is considered that students should be supported to solve problems efficiently, to establish a cause-effect relationship and to research the scientific background of a problem by implementing argumentation-based learning in social studies course. Therefore, the aim of this research was determined as to reveal the effect of argumentation-based learning in the fourth-grade social studies course on the academic achievement, attitude and critical thinking tendencies of students. The study group of the research consisted of 51 fourth-grade students. This research included the embedded design from the mixed method designs. In the research, subject area achievement test, attitude towards the social studies course scale and UF/EMI Critical Thinking Tendency Scale and six activities that were developed in accordance with the argumentation-based learning approach were used as data collection tools. As a result of the research, it was determined that in social studies course with implementation of argumentation-based learning, the levels and qualities of the arguments that were developed by the students showed an increase throughout the research. Furthermore, it was concluded that with argumentation-based learning in social studies courses, positive developments were observed for academic achievement, attitude towards the social studies course and critical thinking tendencies of students.• Rebuttal: The element that shows the asserted arguments to be invalid.• Model Qualifiers: Situations in which the explained arguments would lose their validity.
This research aims to complete Turkish adaptation, validity and reliability studies for the Math and Me Survey developed by Adelson and McCoach for use in determining the students' attitudes towards mathematics in the transition from primary school to middle school. Within the scope of validity and reliability studies for the scale, data gathered from 1169 primary school students had item analysis, exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis performed. In line with this, 18 items from the original scale were translated to Turkish and item equivalence between the original English and Turkish translation was ensured. During item analysis to determine the construct validity of the scale, an item with low item total correlation value was removed from the scale. The Cronbach alpha coefficient was calculated as .93. The Cronbach alpha coefficients from the scale subdimensions of Enjoyment and Self-Perception were calculated as .91 and .88. The confirmatory factor analysis results for the scale revealed perfect fit with the construct determined in the exploratory factor analysis results. Thus, the Math and Me survey can be said to be a valid and reliable tool for use in Turkish culture.
Öz: Eğitimin kalitesini artırmaya yönelik yapılan çalışmaların başarıya ulaşması, programın uygulayıcısı öğretmenlerin değişimi anlamasına, yenilikleri uygulamalarına ve değişimi özümsemelerine bağlıdır. Bu öğretim programlarının sınıf öğretmenleri tarafından ne ölçüde benimsendiği, nasıl algılandığı ve doğru biçimde uygulanıp uygulanmadığına dair yapılan çalışmalar önemli görülmektedir. Bu doğrultuda bu araştırmada, 2018-2019 eğitim-öğretim yılında uygulanan ilkokul 4. sınıf matematik dersi öğretim programının kazanım, içerik, öğrenme-öğretme süreci ve ölçme-değerlendirme boyutlarına yönelik sınıf öğretmenlerinin görüşlerine başvurulmuştur. Araştırmada karma yöntemlerden açımlayıcı sıralı desen kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın nicel boyutunun çalışma grubunu basit seçkisiz örnekleme yöntemiyle belirlenen 171 ilkokul 4.sınıf öğretmeni; nitel boyutunu ise, ölçüt örnekleme yöntemiyle belirlenen 13 sınıf öğretmeni oluşturmaktadır. Araştırma sonuçları değerlendirildiğinde, sınıf öğretmenlerinin ilkokul 4.sınıf matematik dersi öğretim programının kazanım, içerik, öğrenme-öğretme süreci, ölçme ve değerlendirme boyutuna ilişkin görüşlerinin olumlu yönde olduğu görülmektedir. Sınıf öğretmenleriyle yapılan görüşmelerde, öğretmenler öğretim programının ögelerinde teoride herhangi bir sorun olmadığını, fakat uygulamada birçok sorunla karşılaşıldığını belirtmişlerdir.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
