“…While many children dislike answering questions, they can complete drawings easily, in an enjoyable and quick way (Pridmore & Bendelow, 1995). Also, drawing is a beneficial alternative means of expression for children who have difficulty expressing their ideas verbally (Rennie & Jarvis, 1995).…”

The purpose of this research was to determine science student teachers' level of knowledge about the anatomical structure of two sensory organs, the eye and the ear, in addition to vision and hearing processes. Conducted with 86 science student teachers, research utilized drawing methods and open-ended questions as data collection instruments. The results showed that when science student teachers' answers with regard to vision and its structures compared with their answers concerning hearing and its structures, their success rate was higher for hearing and its structures. Even though students were sufficiently informed about the anatomical structures constituting eyes and ears, it was observed that a significant percentage of the students were incompetent with regard to their understanding of how seeing and hearing takes place and correctly showing the anatomical structures constituting both eyes and ears on a schema. Human organ/organ system education may contribute to an increase in teaching capacity.

“…Hayes et al [2] have shown that in science-related classes which include depictive models, pupils "are happy to convey the concepts as images. " Conveying concepts through drawings is also a useful, alternative form of expression for children who have difficulty in expressing their ideas verbally [3]. Some pupils more easily convey concepts through drawings rather than through written descriptions.…”

This paper is part of a wider study and reflects an attempt to explore the cognitive representations that Greek pupils in the 5th grade of elementary school have, as they emerge from the freehand drawing of rivers. An attempt was made to explore the extent to which the cognitive representation skills of school pupils are associated with real images of space and the extent to which intervention by the teacher who presents the structure of a river emphasizing on how it is formed can contribute to an improvement in the drawings made. Two groups of pupils ( = 125, = 113) took part in this study. They were taught one of two parallel lesson plans, to create representations relating to the concept of river. This was followed by an analysis of the drawings and the pre-and postteaching interviews ( = 60/group). The results indicate that pupils perceive the differences between reality and how it is conveyed in images, and they reproduce stereotypical models of rivers presented in schoolbooks without using complex structures to represent them. In addition, it was clear how encouraging use of children's mental maps can be not only in revising existing teaching theories but also in building new ones.

“…Çizimler, ilköğretimdeki öğrencilerin duydukları, okudukları veya yazdıkları hikayeleri canlandırmaları, ziyaret ettikleri yerleri veya yaptıkları etkinlikleri açıklamaları için sıklıkla kullanılan bir araçtır. Ayrıca çizimler sayesinde öğrencilerin bilimsel konularla ilgili kavramsal anlayışlarının belirlenmesi de mümkündür (Rennie ve Jarvis, 1995). Öğrenciler çoğunlukla çizim yapmaktan zevk almaktadır.…”

“…Ayrıca dil becerileri yeteri kadar gelişmemiş öğrencilerin bildiklerini daha iyi açıklamasına olanak tanır (Chambers, 1983). Ancak çizimler aracılığıyla verilerin toplanması ve analizi kolay gözükmekle birlikte, kelimelerle açıklanmadan çizimlerin altında yatan temel düşüncelerin net bir şekilde anlaşılması güçtür (Rennie ve Jarvis, 1995). Ayrıca farklı öğrenme stillerine sahip öğrenciler, bildiklerini çizimlere tam olarak yansıtamayabilirler (Prokop ve Francovicava, 2006).…”
