The main purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of the cooperative learning based on conceptual change conditions and traditionally designed science instruction on 7th grade students̕ understanding of chemical and physical changes and classification of matter concepts and attitudes toward science as a school subject. In this study 102 seventh grade students from four classes of a Science Course instructed by the two teachers from ODTÜ G.V. Özel Ilkögretim Okulu took part. One of the classes of each teacher was randomly assigned as experimental group, which were instructed with cooperative learning based on conceptual change conditions and the other classes were assigned as control group, which were instructed traditionally. This study was conducted during the 2004-2005 fall semester over a period of four weeks. In this study, to examine the effect of the treatment on dependent variables; science achievement related to chemical and physical changes and classification of matter concepts measured with Classification and Changes of Matter Concepts Test, and science attitude scores measured with Attitude Scale Toward Science as a school subject. Science Process Skills Test was used at the beginning of the study to determine students̕ science process skills. ANCOVA and ANOVA were used testing the hypotheses of the study. The results showed that the cooperative learning based on conceptual change conditions group had a significantly higher scores with respect to achievement related to chemical and physical changes and classification of matter concepts than the traditionally designed science instruction group. However, there is no significant difference between the mean scores of cooperative learning based on conceptual change conditions group and traditionally designed science instruction group with respect to attitudes toward science as a school subject.

Facilitating conceptual change in atom, molecule, ion and matter concepts
Şeker, Aytül; Geban, Ömer; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2006)
The main purpose of the study was to compare the effectiveness of the conceptual chance texts oriented instruction accompanied with analagoies over traditionally designed science instruction on 7th grade students̕ understanding of atom, molecule, ion and matter concepts and their attitudes toward science as a school subject. In this study 70 seventh grade students from two classes of science course instructed by the same teacher from Battalgazi Elementary School took part. The study was conducted during 200...
Effects of conceptual change oriented instruction on understanding of gases concepts
Çetin, Pınar Seda; Geban, Ömer; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2009)
The main purpose of the study was to compare the effectiveness of conceptual change oriented instruction accompanied with computer animations and traditionally designed chemistry instruction on 10th grade students’ understanding, achievement and retention of gases concepts and attitudes towards chemistry as a school subject. Also students’ views about nature of science were investigated. Quasi experimental design was used in this study. 67 tenth grade students from two intact classes of a chemistry course t...
Effect of conceptual change oriented instruction accompanied with cooperative group work on understanding of acid-base concepts
Ayhan, Arzu; Geban, Ömer; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2004)
The main purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of conceptual change oriented instruction accompanied with cooperative group work and traditionally designed instruction for removing misconceptions related to acid-base concepts. In this study 33 tenth grade students from two classes from METU Development Foundation Private School in the spring semester of 2003-2004 participated. There were two groups in the study. Students in experimental group received conceptual change oriented instruction ...
Gifted students' attitudes towards science and classroom environment based on gender and grade level
Cürebal, Fulya; Ertepınar, Hamide; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2004)
The purpose of the present study is to investigate the differences on gifted student̕s attitudes toward science and their preferred classroom climate during science classes based on gender and grade level. Two questionnaires, the Test of Science Related Attitudes (TOSRA) and the Individualized Classroom Environment Questionnaire (ICEQ), were used as survey tools in this study. A group of 163 gifted and talented students among four academic levels which are eighth grade, English prep class, ninth and elevent...
Effect of instruction using conceptual change strategies on students' conceptions of chemical reactions and energy
Ceylan, Eren; Geban, Ömer; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2004)
The main purpose of the study was to compare the effectiveness of the conceptual change oriented instruction through demonstration and traditionally designed chemistry instruction on 10th grade students̕ understanding of chemical reactions and energy concepts and attitudes towards chemistry as a school subject. In this study, 61 tenth grade students from two classes of chemistry course instructed by same teacher from Atatürk Anatolian High School took part. The study was conducted during 2003-2004 fall seme...
