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 were randomly assigned as control and experimental groups. In the control group TDCI was used, while in the experimental group CCBIAD was used as instructional methods. Rate of Reaction Concept Test, Rate of Reaction Achievement Test, and Attitude Scale toward Chemistry were administered to both groups as pre-tests and post-tests to assess students’ understanding of rate of reaction concepts, achievement in these concepts, and attitudes toward chemistry, respectively. Science Process Skills Test was given at the beginning of the study to control students’ science process skills. After treatment six students from each group were interviewed to determine their misconceptions about rate of reaction. The hypotheses were tested by using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) and Two-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The results show that CCBIAD used a significantly better acquisition of scientific conceptions related to rate of reaction than TDCI. In addition, there was a significant effect of CCBIAD on students’ attitudes toward chemistry. There was no significant effect of gender on both students’ understanding of rate of reaction concepts and their attitudes toward chemistry.

Effect of conceptual change oriented instruction on removing misconceptions about phase changes
Çelebi, Özgür; Geban, Ömer; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2004)
In this study, a comparison of the effectiveness of conceptual change oriented instruction with traditionally designed chemistry instruction and an investigation of the effect of gender difference were made on ninth grade students̕ understanding of phases and phase changes concepts. In addition, the effects of these instructional methods on students̕ attitudes toward chemistry as a school subject were compared. In this study 56 ninth grade students from two classes of a chemistry course instructed by the sa...
The Relative Effectiveness of Integrated Reading Study Strategy and Conceptual Physics Approach
Taslidere, Erdal; Eryılmaz, Ali (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2012-04-01)
The primary purpose of this study was to investigate the combined and partial effects of the Integrated Reading/Study Strategy and Conceptual Physics Approach on ninth grade private high school students' achievement in and attitudes toward optics. The Integrated Reading/Study Strategy is a new strategy which was developed by integrating previously existing reading strategies of the KWL and SQ3R with classroom lecturing. The Conceptual Physics Approach is an instructional strategy developed on the basis of C...
The Contribution of Cognitive and Metacognitive Strategy Use to Students Science Achievement
Akyol, Gülsüm; Öztekin, Ceren; Sungur, Semra (Informa UK Limited, 2010-01-01)
This study examined the differences in the level of 7th-grade Turkish students' cognitive and metacognitive strategy use (rehearsal, elaboration, organization, critical thinking, and metacognitive self-regulation) in science and investigated the contribution of cognitive and metacognitive strategy use to students' science achievement. The present study also explored the relationships between students' background characteristics (gender, prior knowledge, socioeconomic status) and their cognitive and metacogn...
The effect of multiple intelligences based instruction on 9th graders chemistry achievement and attitudes toward science
Bilgin (Köken), Elmas; Geban, Ömer; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2006)
The main purpose of the study was to compare the effectiveness of multiple intelligences theory based instruction (MITBI) and traditional science instruction (TSI) on 9th grade students’ understanding of chemical bonding concept and attitudes toward chemistry. In the study, 50 ninth grade students from two classes of Genç Osman high school in Ankara were used. 25 of the students were assigned as experimental group and the other 25 as control group. They were instructed by the same teacher. The study was con...
The importance of teacher-student interpersonal relationships for Turkish students' attitudes towards science
Telli, Sibel; den Brok, Perry; Çakıroğlu, Jale (Informa UK Limited, 2010-01-01)
The purpose of this study was to examine associations between Turkish high school students' perceptions of their science teachers' interpersonal behaviour and their attitudes towards science. Students' perceptions of the teacher-student interpersonal relationship were mapped with the Questionnaire on Teacher Interaction (QTI), which uses two relational dimensions: influence and proximity. Data on Students' subject-related attitudes were collected with the Test of Science Related Attitudes (TOSRA). A total o...
