The effectiveness of problem-based learning on teaching the first law of thermodynamics

Erdal Tatar; Münir Oktay

Background: Problem-based learning (PBL) is a teaching approach working in cooperation with self-learning and involving research to solve real problems. The first law of thermodynamics states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but that energy is conserved. Students had difficulty learning or misconceptions about this law. This study is related to the teaching of the first law of thermodynamics within a PBL environment. Purpose: This study examined the effectiveness of PBL on candidate science teachers’ understanding of the first law of thermodynamics and their science process skills. This study also examined their opinions about PBL. Sample: The sample consists of 48 third-grade university students from the Department of Science Education in one of the public universities in Turkey. Design and methods: A one-group pretest–posttest experimental design was used. Data collection tools included the Achievement Test, Science Process Skill Test, Constructivist Learning Environment Survey and an interview with open-ended questions. Paired samples t-test was conducted to examine differences in pre/post tests. Results: The PBL approach has a positive effect on the students’ learning abilities and science process skills. The students thought that the PBL environment supports effective and permanent learning, and self-learning planning skills. On the other hand, some students think that the limited time and unfamiliarity of the approach impede learning. Conclusions: The PBL is an active learning approach supporting students in the process of learning. But there are still many practical disadvantages that could reduce the effectiveness of the PBL. To prevent the alienation of the students, simple PBL activities should be applied from the primary school level. In order to overcome time limitations, education researchers should examine short-term and effective PBL activities.

Bu calismanin amaci, fen bilimleri ogretmen adaylarinin GEMS (Fen ve Matematikte Buyuk Buluslar) programi etkinlikleri hakkindaki goruslerini almaktir. Calismada zayif deneysel desenlerden kontrol grupsuz son-test deneysel deseni kullanilmistir. Calisma, uygun ornekleme yontemi ile secilen Mustafa Kemal Universitesi Egitim Fakultesi Fen Bilgisi Ogretmenligi Anabilim Dalinda ogrenim goren 64 ogretmen adayi ile yurutulmustur. GEMS etkinlikleriyle ilgili acik uclu sorular veri toplama araci olarak kullanilmistir. Calismada nitel verilerin analizinde kullanilan icerik analizi teknigi kullanilmistir. Elde edilen bulgular; GEMS etkinliklerine yonelik dusunceler, Oz degerlendirme ve Ogretim programina gore degerlendirme olmak uzere 3 kategoriye ayrilmistir. Ogretmen adaylarinin, GEMS etkinliklerine yonelik cogunlukla olumlu dusuncelere sahip oldugu, derinlemesine bilgi edinmenin, gunluk hayatla iliski kurmanin, eglenmenin, kalici ogrenmenin ve yasayarak ogrenmenin GEMS etkinlikleriyle mumkun oldugu gorusunde olduklari bulunmustur. Ayrica uygulanan etkinligin kendilerinde olumlu etkiler birakan adaylarin cogu, derse karsi ilgilerinin arttigini, bu tur etkinlikleri kendilerinin de tasarlayabilecegini ve bu tur etkinlikleri siklikla kullanacagini ifade etmislerdir. Son olarak, ogretmen adaylari, fen bilimleri konularinin cogu icin GEMS etkinliklerinin tasarlanabilecegini ve bu etkinliklerin uygulanmasinin gerekli oldugunu ve ogrenciler icin faydali olacagini belirtmislerdir.

Cengiz Tüysüz; Yunus Karakuyu; Erdal Tatar

Bu calismanin amaci, yenilenen Fen ve Teknoloji dersi ogretim programinin onerdigi alternatif olcme ve degerlendirme yontemlerinden olan performans gorevlerinin ogrenci velileri acisindan nasil karsilandiklari ve karsilastiklari problemleri tespit etmektir. Bu yeni alternatif olcme ve degerlendirme yontemi egitimde ezberciligi ortadan kaldiracaktir. Performans gorevleri elestirel dusunme, problem cozme, okudugunu anlama, arastirma yapma gibi ogrencinin bilissel, duyussal, psikomotor alandaki becerilerini kullanmasini, gelistirmesini ve bir urun ortaya koymasi icin gereken calismalari ogretmen rehberliginde yapmasini amaclamaktadir. Calisma, Hatay il merkezindeki iki farkli ilkogretim okulunda Fen ve Teknoloji derslerinde verilen performans gorevlerine yonelik velilerin tutumlarini belirlemek amaciyla uygulanmistir. Verileri incelemek icin Tek Yonlu Varyans Analizi (One-Way ANOVA) yapilmistir. Arastirma sonuclari, velilerin performans gorevlerine karsi buyuk oranda olumlu bir tutum icerisinde olduklarini gostermektedir.
