The Effect of Planned Trips to Zoos on Learning in Science Education And Determining Student Remarks About The Trip Process

Öz:
In this study, researching the effect of a planned trip to one of the informal learningenvironments, zoos, on learning and taking students’ opinions about the trip were aimed. The workinggroup consists of 15 fifth grade students. The Experimental method was used in this research. Theacademic achievement test developed by the researcher was applied to the students before and after thetrip to determine the effect of the planned zoo trip on the students' learning. To determine the change instudents' misconceptions, concept maps were drawn before and after the trip. For the students’ viewsabout this learning experience, a semi-structured interview form was used. Pre and posttest resultsgotten from the achievement test were evaluated with Wilcoxon signed ranks test; the data obtained fromthe concept maps were analyzed with error frequencies, and the students’ judgments received from asemi-structured interview about this learning experience were examined with content analysis method.Results of the research showed that a well-organized zoo trip has a positive effect on learning; that thereis a meaningful difference between students’ pretest and posttest academic achievement scores for thebenefit of posttest; that it does not have any effect on misconceptions about general classification,however, it is effective on, more specifically, misconceptions about animal classification. Students havefound this trip entertaining and informative.

Fen Eğitiminde Hayvanat Bahçelerine Düzenlenen Planlı Bir Gezinin Öğrenme Üzerine Etkisi ve Gezi Süreciyle İlgili Öğrenci Görüşlerinin Belirlenmesi

Öz:
Bu çalışma ile informal eğitim ortamlarından biri olan hayvanat bahçelerine yapılan planlı bir gezinin öğrenme üzerine etkisi ve öğrencilerin geziye ilişkin görüşlerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu araştırmada deneysel desen kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu beşinci sınıfta öğrenim gören 15 öğrenci oluşturmuştur. Araştırmada, planlı yapılan hayvanat bahçesi gezisinin, öğrencilerin öğrenmelerine etkisinin belirlenebilmesi için, araştırmacı tarafından geliştirilen akademik başarı testi, gezi öncesi ve sonrası öğrencilere uygulanmıştır. Öğrencilerin kavram yanılgılarındaki değişimi tespit için gezi öncesi ve sonrasında kavram haritaları çizdirilmiştir. Öğrencilerin bu öğrenme deneyimine ilişkin görüşleri için ise, yine araştırmacı tarafından geliştirilen yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada başarı testinden elde edilen ön ve son test sonuçları, uygulanan Wilcoxon işaretli sıralar testi ile; çizdirilen kavram haritalarından elde edilen veriler hata frekansları ile; öğrencilerin bu öğrenme deneyimine ilişkin yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formundan elde edilen görüşleri ise içerik analizi ile değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırma sonuçları, iyi planlanmış bir hayvanat bahçesi gezisinin öğrenme üzerinde olumlu etkisi olduğunu, öğrencilerin ön test akademik başarı puanları ile son test akademik başarı puanları arasında son test lehine anlamlı bir farklılığın olduğunu; genel sınıflandırma ile ilgili kavram yanılgıları üzerinde etkisi olmadığını ancak daha özel olarak hayvanların sınıflandırılması ile ilgili kavram yanılgıları üzerinde etkili olduğunu göstermiştir. Öğrenciler, hayvanat bahçesine yapılan gezi faaliyetini eğlenceli ve bilgilendirici bulmuş, eğlenerek daha iyi öğrendiklerini ifade etmişlerdir.
