ÖZ. Bu araştırmanın amacı, ilkokul 4. sınıf için bir "Bilimsel Süreç Becerileri Programı" (BSBP) geliştirmek ve bu programın bilimsel süreç becerilerini kazandırması açısından etkililiğini belirlemektir. Bu amaçla, araştırmada öncelikle BSBP geliştirilmiştir. BSBP'nin öğrenci düzeyine uygunluğu ve bilimsel doğruluğu farklı aşamalarda 11 uzman tarafından değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu, 4. sınıfa devam eden toplam 48 öğrenci oluşturmuştur. Çalışmada araştırmacı tarafından geliştirilen Bilimsel Süreç Becerileri Testi (BSBT) ve kısa yanıt gerektiren sorular kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın sonunda elde edilen bulgular, BSBP'nın deney grubu öğrencilerinin bilimsel süreç becerilerini kullanma düzeylerini kontrol grubunda bulunan öğrencilere göre manidar düzeyde artırdığını ortaya koymuştur.

The aim of this research is to develop a "Science Process Skills Program" (SPSP) for elementary school grade 4 and determine the effectiveness of this program in terms of acquiring science process skills. During the development stage of the program, sub-dimensions of science process skills were identified using an eclectic approach and the gains related to the sub-dimensions were noted. The workgroup of the research consists of 48 students. Science Process Skill Test (SPST) developed by the researcher and short answer questions were used in the research. The findings obtained at the end of the research show that SPSP increases the level of use of science process skills of the students in the experimental group significantly, compared to the students in the control group. Keywords: Science process skill, program evaluation, The Unit of "Let's Learn The Matter".
SUMMARY
Purpose and significance:The aim of this research is to develop a "Science Process Skills Program" (SPSP) for elementary school grade 4 and determine the effectiveness of this program in terms of acquiring science process skills. Methods: To that end, SPSP was primarily developed. During the development stage of the program, sub-dimensions of science process skills were identified using an eclectic approach and the gains related to the sub-dimensions were noted. The gains of the unit "Let's Learn The Matter" in Science and Technology Course Program and the gains of the SPSP were correlated and lesson plans were prepared. The relevancy and the scientific accuracy of the SPSP were evaluated by 11 experts at different stages. The workgroup of the research consists of 48 students studying at Aydınlıkevler Elementary School classes 4/C (N=24) and 4/D (N=24) in the district of Altındağ in Ankara. Science Process Skill Test (SPST) developed by the researcher and short answer questions were used in the research. SPST has 39 multiple-choice questions and its validity and reliability analysis was carried out based on preliminary test. Based on expert opinions and the results attained from the difference between the groups, it was determined that it could yie...
