The purpose of this qualitative study is to examine 7th grade Eco-Schools students’ mental models of greenhouse effect. The sample of this study was comprised of 109 7th grade students attending three Eco Schools in İstanbul. The data were collected by a draw-and-write survey. In this survey, students were asked to draw their understandings of the greenhouse effect and explain their drawings. Their source of information was also asked to the students in the survey. As a result of inductive analysis of students’ drawings and explanations, five different mental models emerged: (1) Reasons and Results of Greenhouse Effect, (2) Misconception - Ozone Layer Depletion and Greenhouse Effect, (3) Misconception – Daily Temperature Difference, (4) Scientific Explanation of Greenhouse Effect, (5) Misconception – Greenhouse used for Agricultural Purposes.

Analysis of pre-service science teachers’ systems thinking skills in the context of carbon cycle
Turan, Deniz; Öztekin, Ceren; Department of Elementary Science and Mathematics Education (2019)
The main purpose of this study is to analyze pre-service science teachers’ systems thinking skills in the context of carbon cycle. The eight systems thinking skills that is previously defined by Ben-Zvi Assaraf and Orion (2005) were used to investigate the participants’ systems thinking skills concerning the carbon cycle. Data was collected from four senior-year pre-service science teachers from elementary science education department of a state university. The data obtained through word association test, c...
Identifying determinants of pro-environmental behaviours : a case for climate change
Hiğde, Emrah; Öztekin, Ceren; Department of Elementary Science and Mathematics Education (2014)
The aim of the present study is in twofold: (1) to explore pre-service science teacher‘s knowledge about climate change, environmental attitudes (ecocentric and anthropocentric), epistemic beliefs regarding climate change, uncertainty beliefs about the reality of anthropogenic climate change and pro environmental behaviors towards climate change and (2) to investigate the significant determinants of pro-environmental behaviors towards climate change. Data collected from 1277 pre-service science teachers thr...
Using the Science Writing Heuristic Approach to Enhance Student Understanding in Chemical Change and Mixture
Kingir, Sevgi; Geban, Ömer; GÜNEL, MURAT (2013-08-01)
This study investigated the effect of the Science Writing Heuristic (SWH) approach on grade 9 students' understanding of chemical change and mixture concepts. Four intact classes taught by two chemistry teachers from a Turkish public high school were selected for the study; one class was assigned as the treatment group, and the other class was assigned as the comparison group. Students in the treatment group were instructed by the SWH approach, while those in the comparison group were instructed with tradit...
An Investigation of teaching prisms in 5th grades supported by education for sustainable development
Kandilli, Ece; Akyüz, Didem; Teksöz, Gaye; Department of Elementary Science and Mathematics Education (2019)
The purpose of this study is to investigate teaching prisms in 5th grades supported by Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) by answering what 5th grade students think about the meaning of ESD in terms of recycling and packing waste, what the thinking strategies of 5th grade students for classification and nets of prisms are and what 5th grade students think about learning prisms using instruction supported with ESD. For this purpose, it was planned to support the prisms with the concepts of recycling...
Examination of pre-service chemistry teachers’ competency in the field of environmental education and sustainable development
Soysal, Ceren; Geban, Ömer; Teksöz, Gaye; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2017)
The purpose of this study was to explore pre-service chemistry teachers’ competency related to Environmental Education and Sustainable Development. In doing so, the frame was set to focus on three fields of competency: (i) content knowledge, (ii) pedagogical content knowledge, (iii) chemistry literacy. The data gathered from 24 pre-service chemistry teachers at the end of the spring semester of 2016-2017. Essay type questions was used as the source of data. The instrument was created by using the current co...
