FEN ÖĞRETİMİNDE LABORATUVAR UYGULAMALARINDA ARAŞTIRMA SORGULAMAYA DAYALI BİR YAKLAŞIM: BİLİM YAZMA ARACI

Abstract

LABORATORY APPLICATIONS BASED INQUIRY APPROACH IN SCIENCE TEACHING: SCIENCE WRITING HEURISTIC

Currently, we are entering a new era of reform in science education which reaffirms that inquiry is central to the achievement of scientific literacy. Laboratory have reemerged in this era as an important environment for science teaching because they are multifaceted inquiry activities. Students which engage in traditional laboratory experiments with the traditional laboratory report format can not enhance fundamental abilities which necessary to do scientific inquiry. A lot of efforts have recently been devoted to promote environment for science teaching that reflect the nature of scientific inquiry. One of the approach in these effort which was developed as an inquiry-based alternative to the traditional laboratory experiments with the traditional laboratory report format is the Science Writing Heuristic. The aim of this study is to present and discuss how to perform laboratuary activities which based on Science Writing Heuristic and  to write out laboratory report format.

Keywords: Traditional laboratory activity, science writing heuristic, iınquiry.

ÖZET

Günümüzde, bilimsel okuryazarlığa ulaşmada araştırma-sorgulamayı merkeze alan yeni bir reform hareketine girilmiştir. Laboratuar uygulamaları çoklu araştırma-sorgulamaya dayalı aktiviteler sağladığından bu reform hareketleri içerisinde önemli bir fen öğrenme ve öğretme ortamı olarak yeniden karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Geleneksel laboratuvar uygulamaları ve bu uygulamaları yansıtan geleneksel laboratuvar raporlarını kullanan öğrenciler, bilimsel araştırma-sorgulama yapabilmek için gerekli olan temel yeterlilikleri kazanamazlar. Fen sınıflarında bilimsel araştırma-sorgumanın doğasını yansıtan öğrenme ve öğretme ortamlarının geliştirilmesine yönelik çok sayıda çalışma gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bu çalışmalardan biri de geleneksel laboratuvar uygulamalarına ve bu uygulamaları yansıtan geleneksel laboratuvar raporlarına bir alternatif olarak geliştirilen ve araştırma-sorgulamaya dayalı bir yaklaşım olan bilim yazma aracıdır. Bu çalışmada bilim yazma aracını temel alan bir laboratuar uygulamasının nasıl gerçekleştiği ve gerçekleştirilen bu uygulamayı yansıtan bilim yazma aracı laboratuar raporunun nasıl hazırlandığı anlatılmaya çalışılmıştır. 

Anahtar Sözcükler: Geleneksel Laboratuar Aktiviteleri, Bilim Yazma Aracı, Araştırma-Sorgulama.
