Investigating Cognitive Structures in Some Basic Chemistry Concepts Via Word Association Test
Öz: In this study it was aimed to investigate cognitive structures of pre-service science teachers in somebasic chemistry terms via word association test. Data were analyzed according to the number of responses to eachkey word in the word association test and concept maps were drawn according to frequencies as well asrelatedness coefficient. Results of this study showed that participants’ strongest part of cognitive structures withinthe given keywords was “compound-molecule” relation and they have weaknesses/difficulties in “ion” concept. Itcan be said that the abstract feature of the given concepts and the difficulties on understanding of macro and microrelations were effective on these results. Besides, according to sentence analysis participants were most likely to“define” and “describe” the knowledge but have difficulties on “comparing” and “interpreting” the knowledge. Thisstudy was conducted at the beginning of the chapter and cognitive structures of the pre-service science teacherswere explored. Therefore course can be designed according to the findings of the study.

Kelime İlişkilendirme Testi Aracılığıyla Bazı Temel Kimya Kavramları Konusundaki Bilişsel Yapının Araştırılması
Öz: Bu çalışmada kelime ilişkilendirme testi kullanılarak fen bilgisi öğretmen adaylarının bazı temel kimya kavramları hakkındaki bilişsel yapılarının ortaya çıkarılması amaçlanmıştır. Veriler testteki her bir anahtar kelimeye verilen cevap kelime sayısına göre değerlendirilmiş ve hem frekans hem de ilişkililik katsayısına bağlı olarak çizilen kavram haritalarına göre analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmanın sonuçlarına göre katılımcıların verilen temel kavramlar ile ilgili bilişsel yapılarının en güçlü kısmının “bileşik-molekül” ilişkisi olduğu, en fazla ise “iyon” kavramı ile ilgili zayıflıklarının/eksikliklerinin bulunduğu belirlenmiştir. Bu sonuçlarda kavramların soyut oluşu ve öğrencilerin makro ve mikro ilişkileri iyi özümseyememelerinin etkili olduğu düşünülmektedir. Ayrıca katılımcıların yazdığı cümlelerin analizine göre katılımcılar bilgiyi en çok “tanımlayabilmekte” ve “betimleyebilmekte” iken, bilgiyi “kıyaslama” ve “yorumlama“da eksiklikleri vardır. Çalışma konunun başlangıcında uygulanmış ve kelime ilişkilendirme testi ile katılımcıların bilişsel yapıları ortaya konmuştur. Elde edilen verilere göre dersin tasarlanabileceği belirtilmiştir.
