| Özet |
| The study was performed with 3rd year university students receiving the science teaching laboratory applications I and II courses given by the same instructor during 2014-2015 academic year. The participants were included in the study on a voluntary basis. Semi-structured interviews were held with 24 students who had participated in argumentation applications in both semesters. The students were asked questions regarding benefits and harms of working in small groups, duties of the teacher and students in this process, reasons behind their willingness or unwillingness to use this method in future. The data were encoded and themes were created after transcribing the interviews. As a result of the assessment, the students expressed that small group discussions had more advantages than disadvantages. They also stated that these applications positively affected their improvement. Considering that changes which the students observed in themselves were learning more easily, being able to cooperate, having improved communication skill, a critical perspective and awareness, it can be said that small group discussions contribute to the goal of raising science literate individuals. |
