“…Böylece öğrencilerin konuları daha kolay öğrenmeleri, konulara karşı ilgi duymaları ve düşünme becerileri gibi çeşitli becerilerini geliştirmeleri sağlanabilir. Bunun yanında, pandemi sürecinde ortaya çıkan tartışmalı kavramlar yani sosyobilimsel konular dikkate alındığında; yaşanan deneyimler, fen eğitimi için yeni bağlamlar oluşturabilir (Evren Yapıcıoğlu, 2020;Garcia-Carmona, 2021). Bu kapsamda öğrencilerin bu kavramlar ile ilgili görüşleri yani argümanları incelenebilir.…”

Bütün dünyayı etkisi altına alan COVID-19 Pandemisi ile birlikte çeşitli sosyobilimsel konular tartışmaya açılmış ve bilim insanları da dahil olmak üzere bazı konularda fikir birliğine ulaşılamamıştır. Bu düşünceden yola çıkarak mevcut çalışmada, öğretmen adaylarının pandemi döneminde ortaya çıkan kavramlar ile ilgili argümanlarını ve bu kavramları tartışmalarının onların bilimin doğasına yönelik inanışları ile eleştirel düşünme standartlarına etkisini incelemek amaçlanmaktadır. Karma desene göre gerçekleştirilen çalışmanın örneklemi, Marmara Bölgesi’nde bulunan bir devlet üniversitesinde öğrenim görmekte olan 23 fen bilgisi öğretmen adayından oluşmaktadır. Veri toplama aracı olarak, ‘Bilimin Doğası İnanışları Ölçeği’, ‘Eleştirel Düşünme Standartları Ölçeği’ ve ‘Argümantasyon Görüş Formu’ kullanılmıştır. Uygulama süreci beş hafta sürmüş olup bu süreçte öğretmen adayları; COVID-19 ve normal grip, hastalığın tespitinde PCR testi kullanımı, maske kullanımı, tedavi sürecinde ilaç kullanımı ve hastalığa karşı geliştirilen aşılar ile ilgili bilimsel açıklamaları ile gerekçelerini, bunun yanında eğer varsa karşıt görüşe yönelik savlarını sunmuşlardır. Yapılan analizler sonucunda, öğretmen adaylarının pandemi sürecinde ortaya çıkan bu kavramları tartışmaları, onların bilimin doğası inanışlarında anlamlı bir artış sağlarken eleştirel düşünme standartları üzerinde ise etkili olmamıştır. Öğretmen adaylarının argümanlarının kalitesinin genel olarak ilerleyen haftalar boyunca yükseldiği tespit edilmiştir. Çalışmadan elde edilen sonuçlara göre gelecekte yapılacak araştırmalarda, öğretmen adaylarının daha uzun süreler boyunca sosyobilimsel konuları tartışmalarının onların duyuşsal faktörleri üzerindeki etkilerine odaklanılması önerilebilir.

“…There is no other study on this particular subject in literature. Covid-19 is a socio-scientific issue which highly affects society, sparks a debate in society, and on which scientists might have different thoughts (Evren Yapıcıoğlu, 2020). Coronavirus pandemic has made its impact in Turkey as well as the whole world, on March 11, 2020, WHO (World Health Organization) declared Covid-19 a worldwide pandemic (Er and Ünal, 2020).…”

To see the reflections of scientific literacy in individuals' daily life manners is one of the most significant objectives of science education. In this context, it is thought that science teacher candidates are required to have the skills of socio-scientific issues and writing arguments on those subjects. Thus, the purpose of this study was to assess science teacher candidates' skills of writing argumentation on Covid-19 pandemic, which is a socio-scientific issue, and discuss their opinions on Covid-19 vaccine. The research was designed by using mixed method case study. The study group of the research consisted of 33 teacher candidates who were second grade students enrolled in the department of science teaching in a state university in Istanbul. The data in this study were gathered via "Written Argumentation Form" in accordance with argumentation writing components of Cope et al. (2013). For the opinions of teacher candidates on Covid-19 vaccine, "Interview Form" including two open-end questions was used. In data analysis, Argumentation Assessment Rubric (AAR) was used for argumentation and for opinions related to the vaccine, content analysis was applied. At the end of the research, it was found out that the teachers were successful in terms of creating "argument" and "result argument" while writing argumentation of which subject is socio-scientific, however they could not refute the counter claims adequately. Even though the teacher candidates approached Covid-19 pandemic scientifically in the arguments, it was found out that they had hesitations about how to behave in Covid-19 pandemic considering their opinions on vaccines. Although the teacher candidates thought that it was a real pandemic and follow vaccine studies closely, vast majority stated that they did not want to be vaccinated or they were undecided about it. It is recommended to examine thoroughly the fact that even though the vast majority of the teacher candidates thought pandemic was real, they had different opinions on vaccines.

“…(Basilaia & Kvavadze, 2020;Tria, 2020;Toquero, 2021). It has been stated that decisions should be made by considering the moral, ethical and controversial nature of the society during the resolution of COVID-19 related problems, which have been a global socioscientific issue (Evren-Yapıcıoğlu, 2020). Although there is a belief that the society's attitude towards distance education is lower than face-to-face education, studies conducted show that, on the contrary, attitudes towards distance education are actually more positive with appropriate materials and flexible studies (Odabaşı et al, 2020;Hodges, Moore, Lockee, Trust, & Bond, 2020).…”

Following the COVID-19 pandemic, which took the world under its influence, many countries, including our country, switched to distance education. During this period, students did not go to schools and lessons continued to be taught online remotely. In this study, it was aimed to investigate secondary school students' opinions about conducting experiments in science lessons in the distance education process. The study group consisted of 587 secondary school students receiving education in 24 schools located in different regions of Turkey. The form consisting of five open-ended questions used as the data collection tool was developed by the researchers. The descriptive content analysis method was used to analyse the data obtained. In the first question, in which the opinions of students about experiment practices in science lesson were investigated during the distance education process, the answers included in the theme of positive opinion were encountered the most. The greatest difficulty faced by students in conducting experiments in distance education was found to be related to the physical conditions they had. Among the expectations of the students, the most common response was related to increasing experimental practices in distance education. The students stated that they found conducting experiments face to face to be more effective and advantageous compared to conducting experiments in distance education. They also made various suggestions regarding the features of the experimental practices. In line with the results of this study, since it was determined that students found it more effective to do face-to-face experiments, it is thought that it would be appropriate to include experimental practices more, especially in lessons conducted face-to-face, at least in the classrooms where hybrid education is applied.
