“…individuals to be literate in science and technology is ensured by effective science and technology teaching. In the inquiry-based learning approach suggested by educational scientists, learners master learning units by obtaining data through asking questions and doing research in the knowledge construction process, using their creativity (Bass, Contant, & Carin, 2008;Burden & Byrd, 2003;Hassard & Dias, 2008;Haury, 1993;Hogan & Berkowitz, 2000;Howe, 2002;Karamustafaoğlu & Yaman, 2006;Keys & Kennedy, 1999;Lawson, 2010;Lindberg, 1990;Llewellyn, 2002;Lloyd & Contreras, 1987;Marek & Cavallo, 1997;Martin, Sexton, Franklin, & Gerlovich, 2005;Narode, Heiman, Slomianko, & Lochhead, 1987;National Research Council, 2000). Inquiry-based learning, which is based on a constructive approach and the learning cycle model and is suitable for all education levels, also allows students to evaluate their own progress (Hammerman, 2006;Kanlı, 2009;Llewellyn, 2002;Office of Science Education National Institutes of Health, 2006;Peters & Stout, 2006;Temizyürek, 2003;Wenning, 2005).…”
