Preservice Science Teachers’ Views about Scientific Inquiry: The Case of Turkey and Taiwan
Öz: In recent years, the importance of examining the opinions of preservice science teachers who willeducate future science literate individuals towards scientific research has been frequently mentioned. Inthis research, in order to contribute to the field, 88 preservice science teachers in Turkey and 80preservice science teachers in Taiwan participated in the study. The data was collected via Views aboutScientific Inquiry - VASI Questionnaires. Also, semi-structured interviews with volunteered preservicescience teachers. Results showed that there is a significant difference on behalf of preservice scienceteachers in Taiwan in terms of “the way that the scientific inquiries are done”, “the place of experimentand observation in scientific inquiries” as for the first dimension, and “there is no single set or sequenceof steps followed in all inquiries” as for the second dimension. Besides, the preservice science teachersfrom both countries stated their views in “scientific” level on the dimension of “The result of an inquiryshould be in accordance with the collected data”. Moreover, it was revealed that preservice scienceteachers in Turkey have difficulty in defining that scientific research always starts with a question; andpreservice science teachers in Taiwan have difficulty in defining the scientific data and scientificevidence. Considering all the findings, preservice science teachers’ views of scientific inquiry in Taiwanare better than them in Turkey.

Öz: Son yıllarda, geleceğin bilim okuryazarı bireylerini yetiştirecek olan öğretmen adaylarının bilimsel araştırmaya yönelik sahip oldukları görüşlerin incelenmesinin öneminden sıklıkla bahsedilmektedir. Bu doğrultuda alana katkı sağlamak amacıyla bu araştırmada, Türkiye ve Tayvan’daki fen öğretmen adaylarının bilimsel araştırmaya yönelik görüşleri incelenmiştir. Bu amaçla Türkiye’den 88 öğretmen adayı ve Tayvan’dan 80 öğretmen adayından bilimsel araştırmaya yönelik veriler toplanmıştır. Fen öğretmen adaylarının bilimsel araştırmaya yönelik görüşlerinin araştırılması için Lederman ve Lederman, Lederman, Bartos, Bartel, Meyer ve Schwartz (2014) tarafından geliştirilen Views About Scientific Inquiry Qustionnaire- VASI kullanılmıştır. Tarama modelinde olan bu araştırmada nitel ve nicel veri analizi yapılmıştır. Ayrıca ölçekte yer alan açık uçlu sorular sorularak, seçilen öğretmen adaylarıyla görüşmeler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmadan elde edilen bulgular doğrultusunda fen öğretmen adaylarının, bilimsel araştırmaların yapılışına ve deney-gözlemin bilimsel araştırmalardaki yerine ilişkin olan bilimsel araştırmanın birinci boyutuna ve bilimsel araştırmaların belli bir yöntemi ve basamağının olmadığına ilişkin olan ikinci boyutuna yönelik verdikleri cevaplarda ülke değişkenine göre Tayvan’daki fen öğretmen adayları lehine anlamlı bir farklılığın olduğu ortaya konmuştur. Ayrıca her iki ülkedeki fen öğretmen adaylarının bilimsel araştırmaya yönelik görüşlerinin “Çalışmanın sonucu, toplanan verilerle tutarlı olmalıdır” boyutunda “bilimsel” görüş düzeyinde toplandığı görülmüştür. Bunun yanında Türkiye’deki öğretmen adaylarının “Bilimsel araştırmalar her zaman bir problemle başlar” boyutunda; Tayvan’daki öğretmen adaylarının ise “veriler, kanıtlarla aynı değildir” boyutlarında çoğunlukla “yetersiz” görüş düzeyinde görüşe sahip oldukları belirlenmiştir. Sonuç olarak bilimsel araştırma düzeyleri göz önünde bulundurulduğunda Tayvan’daki öğretmen adaylarının Türkiye’deki öğretmen adaylarına göre daha iyi oldukları söylenebilir.
