The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of conceptual assignments and conceptual change discussions on students' achievement and misconceptions about force and motion. The study was conducted with 6 physics teachers and their 18 classes, consisting of 396 high school physics students. The teachers administered the Force Misconception and Force Achievement Tests to their physics classes as a pretest. The results obtained were used to match the 18 classes statistically. Students assigned to the conceptual assignment protocol completed five conceptual assignments about force and motion. Students assigned to the discussion method participated in conceptual change discussions. At the end of the 8-week treatment period, the same tests were administered to all students as a posttest. The data were analyzed by using multivariate analysis of covariance, followed by protected univariate F test and stepdown analysis. The statistical results showed that the conceptual change discussion was an effective means of reducing the number of misconceptions students held about force and motion: The conceptual change discussion was also found significantly effective in improving students' achievement in force and motion.

Effect of case based learning on 10th grade students’ understanding of gas concepts, their attitude and motivation
Yalçınkaya, Eylem; Boz, Yezdan; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2010)
The main purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of case-based instruction based on conceptual change conditions to overcome 10th grade students’ misconceptions related to gas concepts. Moreover, the effect of this method on students’ attitudes toward chemistry and their perceived motivation was explored. The study was carried out during the 2008-2009 academic year at both a state high school and an Anatolian high school. A total of 128 tenth grade students were the participants of the st...
The influence of argumentation based instruction onsixth grade students' attitudes toward science, conceptual understandings of physical and chemical change topic and argumentativeness
Oğuz Çakır, Bahriye Zühal; Çapa Aydın, Yeşim; Department of Educational Sciences (2011)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of argumentation based instruction on sixth grade students‟ attitudes toward science, development of conceptual understanding about physical and chemical change topic, and argumentativeness. This study was carried out during 2010-2011 spring semester at a public elementary school in Ankara. A total of 65 sixth grade students from two intact classes were theparticipants of this study. The sample was chosen conveniently. Students in the experimental g...
Conceptual change oriented instruction and students' misconceptions in gases
Azizoğlu, Nursen; Geban, Ömer; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2004)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of conceptual change oriented instruction accompanied by demonstrations and gender on tenth grade students̕ understanding of gases concepts, and attitudes toward chemistry. Hundred tenth grade students from two classes taught by the same teacher in a public high school were enrolled in the study in the Fall semester of 2003-2004. Control group students were taught by traditionally designed chemistry instruction (TI), while experimental group students ...
Effect of structuring cooperative learning based on conceptual change approach on students' understanding of the concepts of mixtures and their motivation
Belge Can, Hatice; Boz, Yezdan; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2013)
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of structuring cooperative learning based on conceptual change approach on grade nine students’ understanding the concepts of mixtures and their motivation, compared to traditional instruction. Mixtures Concept Test (MCT), self-efficacy for learning and performance, task value, control of learning beliefs, and test anxiety sub-scales of Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ), and mastery approach goals, mastery avoidance goals, performan...
Effect of cooperative learning based on conceptual change conditions on motivation and understanding of reaction rate
Taştan, Özgecan; Boz, Yezdan; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2009)
The present study mainly focuses on the effect of cooperative learning based on conceptual change conditions to remedy 11th grade students’ misconceptions related to reaction rate. Also, effect of this method on their motivation was investigated. A total of 110 eleventh grade students participated in the study. Two schools in Ankara and two classes being instructed by the same teacher in each school were included in the sample. One of the classes was randomly assigned as a control group instructed by tradit...
