The main purpose of the study was to investigate the effectiveness of conceptual change oriented instruction over traditionally designed science instruction on 8th grade students' understanding of fluid force concepts. Participants of the study were fifty five 8th grade students from two classes in a private elementary school. This study is a quasi experimental pretest-posttest control group design. Both groups were administered Fluid Force Concept Achievement Test as pre and post test. Also Logical Thinking Ability Test was used at the beginning of the study to determine students' reasoning ability levels. ANCOVA was used for testing the hypotheses of the study. The ANCOVA results showed that the post test mean scores of CCI (Conceptual Change Oriented Instruction) group and TSI (Traditional Science Instruction) group with respect to achievement related to fluid force concepts were significantly different. CCI group scored significantly higher than TSI group. In addition, logical thinking ability accounted for the significant variation in achievement related to the fluid force concepts. The CCI lesson group caused a significantly better acquisition of scientific conceptions related to fluid force and elimination of misconceptions than the TSI lesson group.

Effectiveness of conceptual change instruction on understanding of heat and temperature concepts
Geban, Ömer (2007-05-01)
This study investigated the differential effects of two modes of instructional program (conceptual change oriented and traditionally designed) and gender difference on students' understanding of heat and temperature concepts, and their attitudes toward science as a school subject. The subjects of this study consisted of 72 seventh grade students from two General Science Classes taking the course from the same teacher. Each teaching method was randomly assigned to one class. The experimental group received r...
USING CONCEPTUAL CHANGE TEXTS WITH ANALOGIES FOR MISCONCEPTIONS IN ACIDS AND BASES
Cetingul, Ipek; Geban, Ömer (2011-01-01)
This study was conducted to explore the effectiveness of conceptual change oriented instruction over traditional instruction on students' understanding of acids and bases concept. Besides, effects of gender difference and science process skills on students' understanding of acids and bases were also investigated. Analysis of the results showed that establishing an analogical thinking during the instruction via conceptual change text caused better acquisition of scientific conceptions and elimination of misc...
EFFECT OF CONCEPTUAL CHANGE APPROACH ON STUDENTS' UNDERSTANDING OF REACTION RATE CONCEPTS
Kingir, Sevgi; Geban, Ömer (2012-01-01)
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of conceptual change text oriented instruction compared to traditional instruction on 10th grade students' understanding of reaction rate concepts. 45 students from two classes of the same teacher in a public high school participated in this study. Students in the experimental group were instructed by conceptual change text oriented instruction while students in the control group were instructed by traditional instruction. The results indicated ...
Promoting Conceptual Change in Chemical Reactions and Energy Concepts through the Conceptual Change Oriented Instruction
Ceylan, Eren; Geban, Ömer (2010-07-01)
This study was designed to investigate the effectiveness of the conceptual change oriented instruction through demonstration over traditionally designed chemistry instruction on 10th grade students' understanding of chemical reactions and energy concepts and their attitudes towards chemistry as a school subject. One of the groups was defined as control group in which students were taught by traditionally designed chemistry instruction (TDCI), while the other group defined as experimental group in which stud...
Effects of Conceptual Change Text Based Instruction on Ecology Attitudes toward Biology and Environment
Çetin, Gülcan; Ertepınar, Hamide; Geban, Ömer (2015-02-01)
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of the conceptual change text based instruction on ninth grade students’ understanding of ecological concepts, and attitudes toward biology and environment. Participants were 82 ninth grade students in a public high school in the Northwestern Turkey. A treatment was employed over a five-week period with quasi-experimental design. While two classes were called control group, two classes were called experimental group. Each teacher had one control group ...
