The purpose of this study was to investigate the contribution of goal orientations to 11th grade students’ understanding in chemical equilibrium concepts. A total of 321 11th grade students (177 females, 138 males, and 6 not mentioned gender) participated in the study. Data were collected using Chemical Equilibrium Concept Test and Achievement Goal Questionnaire. Chemical Equilibrium Concept Test consisted of 18 items in multiple-choice formats. It mainly measured students’ comprehension of dynamic nature of chemical equilibrium, equilibrium constant, and factors affecting chemical equilibrium. Achievement Goal Questionnaire included 18 items in seven-point rating scale. It had six dimensions based on the 3x2 achievement goal model: task-approach, task-avoidance, self-approach, self-avoidance, other-approach and other-avoidance. Results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that task-approach and self-approach goals were positive predictors whereas other-approach goals are negative predictors of students’ understanding in chemical equilibrium concepts

Exploring the Development of Preservice Science Teachers' Views on the Nature of Science in Inquiry-Based Laboratory Instruction Ozgelen, Sinan; Yılmaz Tüzün, Özgül; HANUSCIN, Deborah L. (2013-08-01) The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of the inquiry-based and explicit-reflective laboratory instruction on preservice science teachers' (PSTs) conceptions of the nature of science (NOS) aspects. This study was carried out during the Laboratory Application in Science II course. All 52 preservice elementary science teachers enrolled in the course consented to participate in the study; 37 were female and 15 were male, with a mean age of 22.8 years. All had the same science major background, and...
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 approach based on conceptual change conditions on students understanding of chemical equilibrium Bilgin, İbrahim; Geban, Ömer; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2002) The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the cooperative learning approach based on conceptual change conditions over traditional instruction on 10th grade students' conceptual understanding and achievement of computational problems related to chemical equilibrium concepts. In addition, the effects of students' performance in small group work on the students' conceptual understanding and achievement of computational problems related to chemical equilibrium was investigated. mThe subjects ...
The effect of inquiry based chemistry course on students' understanding of atom concept, learning approaches, motivation, self efficacy, and epistemological beliefs Çalışkan, İlmiye Sevilay; Geban, Ömer; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2004) The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of inquiry-based high school chemistry course and gender differences with respect to students̕ understanding of atom concept, learning approaches, motivational goals, self-efficacy, and epistemological beliefs. In this study, 47 ninth grade students from classes of a chemistry course were taught by the same teacher in Private Yüce Science High School in the 2003-2004-spring semester were enrolled. There were two groups in the study. Two instruction method...
Exploring representation of nature of science aspects in 9th grade chemistry textbooks Esmer, Feyza; Geban, Ömer; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2011) The aim of this study was to examine the representation of Nature of Science (NOS) aspects in 9th grade chemistry textbooks. Two textbooks nation-wide used are analyzed, one of them is written in Turkish the other in English. These textbooks were written according to 2008-2009 education program’s curriculum. A qualitative oriented approach was employed and ethnographic content analysis was used as the methodological framework for this research as Irez (2006) has performed. Data were analyzed by means of boo...
