The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of the conceptual change oriented instruction using hands-on activities and traditionally designed chemistry instruction on 10th grade students’ understanding of gases concept. Also, the effect of instruction on students’ attitude toward chemistry as a school subject was investigated. The sample of the study consisted of 59 tenth grade students from two chemistry classes in a public high school. This study was conducted during the 2006-2007 fall semester. The classes were randomly assigned as control and experimental groups. Students in the control group were instructed by traditionally designed chemistry instruction whereas students in the experimental group were instructed by the conceptual change oriented instruction accompanied with hands-on activities. Gases concept test and Attitude Scale Toward Chemistry were administered to both groups as a pre-test and post-test to assess the students’ understanding of gases concepts and to determine their attitudes toward chemistry, respectively. Science Process Skills Test was given only at the beginning of the instruction to determine students’ science process skills. v The hypotheses were tested by using multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA). The post-test results showed that conceptual change oriented instruction using hands-on activities caused a significantly better acquisition of scientific conceptions related to gases concept. But it was found that treatment has no significant effect on students’ attitudes toward chemistry as a school subject.

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...
The effect of conceptual change based instruction on students’ understanding of rate of reaction concepts
Kaya, Ebru; Geban, Ömer; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2011)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of conceptual change based instruction accompanied by demonstrations (CCBIAD) and gender on 11th grade students’ understanding and achievement in rate of reaction concepts, and their attitudes toward chemistry as a school subject compared to traditionally designed chemistry instruction (TDCI). Sixty nine 11th grade students from two classes in a public high school in Ankara participated in this study in the Fall Semester of 2008-2009. These classes we...
Facilitating Conceptual Change in Gases Concepts
Cetin, Pinar Seda; Kaya, Ebru; Geban, Ömer (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2009-04-01)
The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of conceptual change oriented instruction (CCOI) over traditionally designed chemistry instruction (TDCI) on overcoming 10th grade students' misconceptions on gases concepts. In addition, the effect of gender difference on students' understanding of gases concepts was investigated. The subjects of this study consisted of 74 10th grade students from two chemistry classes. One of the classes was assigned as experimental group and the other group was as...
Effectiveness of constructivist approach on students' understanding of chemical bonding concepts
Uzuntiryaki, Esen; Geban, Ömer; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2003)
The main purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of instruction based on constructivist approach over traditionally designed chemistry instruction on ninth grade students2 understanding of chemical bonding concepts. In addition, the effect of instruction on students2 attitude toward chemistry as a school subject and the effect of gender difference on understanding of chemical bonding concepts were investigated. Forty-two ninth grade students from two classes of a chemistry course taught by th...
The effect of conceptual change approach on students' understanding of solubility equilibrium concepts
Önder, İsmail; Geban, Ömer; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2006)
The main purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of instructions one based on conceptual change approach and the other based on traditional chemistry instruction on tenth grade high school students’ understanding of solubility equilibrium concept. In addition, students’ attitudes toward chemistry as a school subject and toward conceptual change texts were investigated. Moreover, students’ science process skills were also investigated. 125 tenth grade students from four classes of a chemistry ...
