The purpose of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of context based instruction over teacher centered chemistry instruction on 9th grade students' understanding of cleaning agents topic and their attitudes toward environment. Moreover students' science process skills were measured for using as a covariate. Participants were 222 ninth grade students from eight classes. Experimental group students were instructed with context based instruction and control group students were instructed with teacher centered chemistry instruction through five weeks. Cleaning Agents Achievement Test and Attitudes toward Environment Scale were used as pre and post tests. Science Process Skills test was used only as a pretest. According to statistical analyses (MANCOVA), there was a significant mean difference with respect to cleaning agents topic between the experimental and control group in the favor of experimental group and no significant difference with respect to attitude toward environment between the groups. Beside, science process skills were a strong predictor for understanding the cleaning agents topic.

The effect of context based instruction on 9th grade students' understanding of cleaning materials topic and their attitude toward environment Elmas, Rıdvan; Geban, Ömer; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2012) The purpose of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of context based instruction over traditionally designed chemistry instruction on 9th grade students’ understanding of cleaning materials topic and their attitudes toward environment. Moreover students’ science process skills were measured for using as a covariate. Participants were 222 ninth grade students from eight classes in two different types of high schools in Ankara. Experimental group students were instructed with context based instr...
The effect of conceptual change based instruction on students' attitudes toward chemistry Kaya, Ebru; Geban, Ömer (2011-02-07) This study aims to explore the effect of conceptual change based instruction accompanied with demonstrations (CCBIAD) on 11th grade students’ attitudes toward chemistry. The sample consists of sixty-nine 11th grade students in two classes in a high school. In the experimental group, CCBIAD was used, whereas in the control group, traditionally designed chemistry instruction was used. The students’ attitudes were measured by Attitude Scale toward Chemistry. The results of ANOVA show that there was a significa...
The effect of case-based instruction on 10th grade students' understanding of gas concepts Yalcinkaya, Eylem; Boz, Yezdan (Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2015-01-01) The main purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of case-based instruction on remedying 10th grade students' alternative conceptions related to gas concepts. 128 tenth grade students from two high schools participated in this study. In each school, one of the classes was randomly assigned as the experimental group and the other class, instructed by the same chemistry teacher, was assigned as the control group. The students in the experimental groups were instructed by case-based instructi...
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 ...
The Effect of cooperative learning based on conceptual change approach on students’ understanding of chemical bonding concepts Eymur, Gülüzar; Geban, Ömer; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2014) The main purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of cooperative learning based on conceptual change approach on 9th grade students’ understanding in chemical bonding concepts and their attitudes toward chemistry as a school subject compared to traditionally designed chemistry instruction. Seventy-two ninth grade students from two intact classes of chemistry course taught by same teacher in a public high school in Ankara were participated. The study was applied in the spring semester of 2011-201...
