Özet
Bu çalışmanın amacı; ilköğretim okullarında öğrenim gören öğrencilerle yapılan bilimsel çalışmalarının öğrencilerin bilimsel okuryazarlıklarına ve fen bilgisine karşı tutumlarına etkisini araştırmaktır. Çalışmanın araştırma grubunu ilköğretim 6., 7. ve 8. sınıflardan öğrenim gören 30 öğrenci oluşturmaktadır. Her sınıf düzeyinden 10"ar öğrenci rasgele seçilerek çalışma grubu kurulmuştur. Araştırma deseni öntest-sontest tek gruplu modeldir. Öğrencilere Bilimsel Okuryazarlık Testi ve Fen Tutum Ölçeği öntest olarak uygulanmıştır. Öğrencilere düzenli olarak 12 hafta boyunca bilimsel bir makale verilmiştir. Öğrenciler makale konusu hakkında araştırma yapıp sınıf ortamında tartışmalarda bulunmuşlardır. Çalışmalar boyunca öğrencilere tartışma konuları araştırmacı tarafından verilmiştir. Oturumları araştırmacı yönetmiştir. 12 haftalık uygulamadan sonra aynı ölçek ve test sontest olarak uygulanmıştır. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre, bilim kurulu çalışmalarının öğrencilerin, fen bilgisine karşı tutumlarına ve bilimsel okuryazarlıklarına olumlu etkisi olduğu görülmüştür. Çalışmaya katılan öğrencilerin cinsiyet ve sınıfları bakımından, uygulama öncesi ve uygulama sonrası aralarında anlamlı bir fark olmadığı belirlenmiştir.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of scientific studies on students' scientific literacy and attitude towards science course. For the study, a middle school science study group was established by randomly selecting 30 students from the 6th, 7th, and 8th grades. Participating students were given information about the programme. Students worked regularly for 12 weeks on topics of scientific research and held discussions on them. Students did research on information they collected during interviews. As a result, many students involved in the science group studies were able to increase their skills through discussion and exchange of views. Before the application, the students in the program were given a test which incorporated scientific literacy and attitude towards science course. Their attitudes about science were assessed and scored using a questionnaire. During the program of study, students were provided with discussion topics by the researcher. An additional goal was to encourage student participation in scientific processes. Twelve weeks after the application, the students were given the same questionnaire and test again. The data obtained were analysed using an SPSS program. Statistical results indicated that the students' scientific literacy had increased significantly, and that their attitudes towards science were more positive. In terms of both gender and class level of the students, a significant difference emerged after the application, when compared to before the application
