The present research examines chemistry course achievement in relation to the academic self-concept, attitudes towards the chemistry course and logical thinking skills. The study sample consisted of 252 students in a vocational high school in Ankara who voluntarily participated with convenience sampling method. In the research, the academic self-concept and logical thinking were found be significant predictors on academic achievement. As a result of discriminant analysis, the academic self-concept and logical thinking were determined to be the variables which distinguish successful from unsuccessful students. The classification of successful and unsuccessful students by distinctive variables was found to be successful at 69.4%.

The effects of constructive learning method on students' academic achievement, retention of knowledge, gender and attitudes towards science course in "matter of structure and characteristics" unit
Boğar, Yurdagül; KALENDER, SUNA; SARIKAYA, MUSTAFA (2012-02-05)
The purpose of this research is to examine on students' academic achievement, retention of knowledge and attitudes towards science course in matter of structural and characteristic subject with constructivist education version. This study was conducted with students 7/A (N=34) and 7/B (N=34) located in Ankara, during the spring period of 2008-2009 academic year. The study used a quasi-experimental research design with pre-test and post-test control group was used in this study. According to this research mo...
Learning styles and high school students chemistry achievement
Kondakçı, Esen (2007-03-01)
The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of students' learning styles on their chemistry achievement, and whether matching between teaching and learning styles also affects students' chemistry achievement. Two hundred and sixty-five tenth-grade students enrolled in a chemistry course and seven chemistry teachers participated in the study. Grasha-Riechmann Student Learning Style Scale was used to determine students' learning styles. This scale consists of four clusters obtained from six le...
Examining of science and math course achievement of vocational high school students in the scope of self efficacy and anxiety
Yüksel, Mehmet; Geban, Ömer (2016-01-01)
This study attempted to predict physics, chemistry, and biology and math course achievements of vocational high school students according to the variables of student self-efficacy, academic self-efficacy, state anxiety and trait anxiety. Study data were collected using a questionnaire administered to the students of a vocational high school located in Ankara, the capital city of Turkey. According to the results of the study, academic self-efficacy perceptions of students predicted achievement in physics, ch...
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...
A qualitative case study of prospective chemistry teachers knowledge about instructional strategies Introducing particulate theory
Boz, Nihat; Boz, Yezdan (2008-01-01)
The purpose of this study was to investigate prospective chemistry teachers’ knowledge about instructional strategies, one component of pedagogical content knowledge about introducing particulate theory, as well as sources of this knowledge. Twenty-two prospective chemistry teachers participated in the study. Data were collected by the means of a vignette, semistructured interviews, and lesson plans. Analysis showed that concrete objects, computer animations, and expository teaching were the preferred teach...
