The role of the argumentation-based laboratory on the development of pre-service chemistry teachers' argumentation skills

2021-01-01
The purpose of this study was to investigate the development of pre-service chemistry teachers' (PCTs') argumentation skills in a laboratory course throughout a semester. A case study design was utilised. A total of six PCTs participated in the study. To investigate the development of PCTs' argumentation skills, the laboratory reports that were in the form of science writing heuristic and pre and post semi-structured interviews were employed. Results showed that PCTs' argumentation skills developed over time as they started to generate more powerful arguments which also included deeper conceptual knowledge during the argumentation-based laboratory. The other result of the study revealed that PCTs become successful in explaining chemistry concepts at the sub-microscopic level throughout the course.

The main purpose of the study was to compare the effectiveness of multiple intelligences theory based instruction (MITBI) and traditional science instruction (TSI) on 9th grade students’ understanding of chemical bonding concept and attitudes toward chemistry. In the study, 50 ninth grade students from two classes of Genç Osman high school in Ankara were used. 25 of the students were assigned as experimental group and the other 25 as control group. They were instructed by the same teacher. The study was con...

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...
The Effects of argument-driven inquiry instructional model on 10th grade students’ understanding of gases concepts
Demirci Celep, Nilgün; Geban, Ömer; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2015)
The main purpose of this study was to seek whether there is a significant effect of Argument-Driven Inquiry (ADI) instructional model on 10th grade high school students’ conceptual understanding and attitudes toward chemistry as compared to traditional chemistry instruction and to draw conclusion based on the evidence for students’ conceptual understandings of gases concepts and attitude toward chemistry between the experimental and traditional groups. The sample of this study consisted of 157 tenth grade s...
The effect of 5E learning cycle model on eleventh grade students’ conceptual understanding of acids and bases concepts and motivation to learn chemistry
Çetin Dindar, Ayla; Geban, Ömer; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2012)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of 5E learning cycle model compared to traditional teacher-centered instruction on eleventh grade students’ conceptual understanding of acids and bases concepts and student motivation to learn chemistry. The measuring tools were Three-tier Acids-Bases Test (TABT) and Chemistry Motivation Questionnaire (CMQ). There were two groups, which were the experimental and traditional group, consisting of 78 students. Before the implementation, the tools were adm...
The Effect of metacognitive instructional method on eleventh grade students’ metacognitive skill and mathematical procedural and conceptual knowledge
Abdul Aziz, Tian; Bulut, Safure; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2016)
The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of metacognitive instructional method, compared to traditional instruction on eleventh grade science student’s mathematical procedural and conceptual knowledge, and metacognitive skills. Sixty-six eleventh-grade students in a school in Bandung City, Indonesia took part in this study. Matching-only pre-test-post-test control group design was conducted. The classes were randomly assigned to experimental and control group. In the experimental group metacog...
