Özet |
The main goal of science education is to provide students with conceptual understanding. However, traditional, rote-based teaching methods hinder the development of students' skills such as explaining chemical phenomena, making predictions, problem solving and critical thinking. In this study, the effect of computer simulations supported by the Predict-Observe-Explain strategy on conceptual understanding of Solutions was investigated. Based on Holme, Luxford and Brandriet's five conceptual understanding categories (transfer, translation, problem solving, prediction, depth), a qualitative content analysis was conducted on five seventh grade students with a case study approach. The findings showed that the majority of the students had solid understanding, some had partial understanding and a small number of students were in the category of not understanding. The results revealed that computer simulations greatly supported conceptual understanding but there were difficulties in the areas of depth, transfer and translation. It is thought that the findings will be guiding for chemistry teachers and curriculum planners. |
