One of the major aims of the science education in middle school level is to raise scientifically literate people. In this study, impact of science writing heuristic approach (SWH) which has its roots in argumentation based instruction on students’ scientific literacy level is intended to be examined. A total of 80 six grade students participate in the study. Data will be collected by administering the Global Scientific Literacy Questionnaire (GSLQ) as pre-test and post-test. The GSLQ consists of four dimensions of scientific literacy, namely habits of mind, character and values, science as human endeavour and metacognition. As part of data analysis, repeatedmeasures MANOVA will be conducted. Findings will be discussed in the light of relevant literature.

Adaptation of Global Scientific Literacy Questionnaire in Turkish Context: Findings of Pilot Study
Şen, Mehmet; Sungur, Semra; Öztekin, Ceren (null; 2018-07-01)
Even though scientific literacy is main goal of science education; there is no valid, reliable and comprehensive scale to assess students’ scientific literacy. Therefore, this study aims to adapt Global Scientific Literacy Questionnaire (Mun et al., 2015) in Turkish context to fill the gap regarding assessment of students’ scientific literacy level. It is a 48 item 5 point Likert type scale having four dimensions which are habits of mind, character and values, science as human endeavour and metacognition Pi...

Ozdem, Yasemin; ÇAVAŞ, PINAR; ÇAVAŞ, BÜLENT; Çakıroğlu, Jale; Ertepınar, Hamide (2010-01-01)
Scientific literacy has become the major goal of science education in many countries as well as Turkey. In line with this goal, the purpose of this study is to investigate the scientific literacy level of elementary students in Turkey. In this study, the scientific literacy level of students is investigated through "Scientific Literacy Test" adapted by the researchers. The test was administered to 946 elementary students enrolled in 6(th), 7(th) and 8(th) grades in nine cities during the academic year of 20...

Çavaş, Pınar; Özdem Yılmaz, Yasemin; Çakıroğlu, Jale; Çavaş, Bülent; Ertepınar, Hamide (2013-01-01)
In order to educate elementary students scientifically literate as expected in the science curricula in many countries around the world, science teachers need to be equipped with the diverse aspects of scientific literacy. This study investigates whether pre-service elementary science teachers at universities in Turkey have a satisfactory level of scientific literacy, and how the level of scientific literacy is affected by different variables, such as attitude toward science, gender, year in university, and...

Tucel, Tuğçe; Çakıroğlu, Jale; Öztekin, Ceren (2015-09-04)
The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of Science Writing Heuristic (SWH) approach on middle school students' metacognition. For this purpose, a quasi-experimental research design, the non-equivalent control group post-test only design was used with the aim to compare the experimental and the comparison groups mean difference with respect to dependent variables. 60 eight grade students with a mean age of 14 years in two classes selected from one public school in an urban area. One class was ra...
