Exploring the relationships among epistemological beliefs, metacognitive awareness and nature of science

Öz:
Bu çalışma, epistemolojik inançlar, üstbilişsel farkındalık ve bilimin doğası arasındaki ilişkileri incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmanın örneklemini Türkiye'deki bir üniversitede iki gruptan oluşan Laboratuar Uygulamaları II dersine kayıtlı 45 fen bilgisi öğretmen adayı oluşturmaktadır. Katılımcıların tamamı aynı fen altyapısına sahip üçüncü sınıf öğrencilerinden oluşmaktadır. Her iki gruptaki öğretmen adaylarına kavramsal değişim teorisi temel alınarak doğrudan-yansıtıcı ve araştırma-temelli bilimin doğası öğretimi yapılmıştır. Bu çalışmanın modeli karma yöntemlerden biri olan eşzamanlı gömülü tasarım modelidir. Bir dönemlik eğitim sonucu bütün fen bilgisi öğretmen adaylarının bilmin doğasına yönelik anlayışlarının geliştiği belirlenmiştir. Bunun sonucunda kavramsal değişim teorisi ile araştırma temelli laboratuar eğitiminin öğretmen adylarının bilimin doğasına yönelik anlayışlarını geliştirdiği sonucuna varılmıştır. Ayrıca, çalışmanın sonucunda öğretmen adaylarının bazı epistemolojik inançları, üstbilişsel farkındalıkları ve bilimin doğasına yönelik görüşleri arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ilişkilerin olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ortaya çıkan bu ilişkiler mevcut fen eğitimi literatürü ışığında tartışılmıştır.
