The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of logical thinking ability and gender on students' science achievements and attitudes towards science. Test of Logical Thinking (TOLT), Attitude towards Science Scale, and Sense Organs Achievement Test were administered to 72 elementary school students to determine their logical thinking abilities, attitudes towards science and achievement, respectively. The two-way Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) results revealed no statistically significant mean difference between the boys and girls with respect to their achievements and attitudes towards science. Moreover, logical thinking ability had a significant effect on their achievements in science; however, there was no statistically significant logical thinking ability difference with respect to their attitudes towards science.

The Effect of history of science instruction on elementary students' scientific literacy
Cansız, Mustafa; Sungur Vural, Semra; Öztekin, Ceren; Department of Elementary Education (2014)
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of history of science instruction on elementary students' scientific literacy. Specifically, the effectiveness of history of science instruction over curriculum-oriented instruction was examined in terms of four central components of scientific literacy, which are science process skills, understanding of human circulatory system concepts, attitudes toward science, and nature of science views. A total of 95 sixth-grade students from four classes p...
Investigating the effects of science writing heuristic approach on eight grade students’ achievement, metacognition and epistemological beliefs
Tucel, Sabahat Tuğçe; Çakıroğlu, Jale; Öztekin, Ceren; Department of Elementary Science and Mathematics Education (2016)
The aim of this study was investigating the effects of Science Writing Heuristic (SWH) approach on 8th grade students' science achievement, metacognition and scientific epistemological beliefs when compared to traditional instruction. For this purpose, a non-equivalent control group post-test only design was employed. Two 8th grade classes from a public elementary school were selected for the study. One class was assigned as experimental group and the other class was assigned as the comparison group. Studen...
The role of motivation and cognitive engagement in science achievement
Bircan, Hasan; Sungur, Semra (2016-12-01)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the contribution of the motivational beliefs (self-efficacy and task-value) and cognitive engagement to seventh grade students’ science achievement. For the specified purpose, crosssectional correlational research design was used. The data were gathered from the seventh grade students of public middle schools by means of three data collection instruments namely, Background Characteristics Survey (BCS), Motivation and Cognitive Engagement Scale (MCES) and Sci...
The Role of Student Related Characteristics in Nature of Science Views
Ebren Kuyumcu, Ebru; Sungur, Semra (2022-02-01)
The present study investigated middle school students’ views on the nature of science (NOS) in relation to gender, grade level, and learning environment perceptions adopting a cross-sectional and correlational research design. A total of 608 middle school students (319 girls and 289 boys) attending Grade 7 (n = 286) and Grade 8 (n = 322) participated in the study. Students’ NOS views were examined in terms of Theory-laden /Cultural impacts, Changing/tentative nature, Non-objective nature, and Creative natur...
