Middle school students’ informal reasoning modes and argumentation quality in socioscientific issues: epistemological beliefs and issue familiarity as predictors Uygun, Cansu Başak; Yılmaz Tüzün, Özgül; Department of Science Education (2022-6) The purpose of this study was to examine middle school students’ informal reasoning modes, and argumentation quality regarding three different SSI, namely, space explorations (SPE), genetically modified organisms (GMO), and nuclear power plants (NPP); and to investigate how well middle school students’ epistemological beliefs (the dimensions of source/certainty, development, and justification) and issue familiarity predict their informal reasoning modes and argumentation quality. For this purpose, correlati...
Middle School Students’ Scientific Reasoning Ability: Is it related to Classroom Learning Environment Perceptions? Bezci Bircan, Filiz; Sungur, Semra (2018-09-04) Contribution Today’s education need to equip students’ with 21st century skills to prepare them as the workforce.

Middle School Students' Science Self-Efficacy and Its Sources: Examination of Gender Difference Kiran, Dekant; Sungur, Semra (2012-10-01) The main purpose of the present study is to investigate middle school students' science self-efficacy as well as its sources and outcomes as a function of gender. Bandura's hypothesized sources of self-efficacy (i.e., mastery experience, vicarious experience, verbal persuasion, and emotional arousal) in addition to being inviting with self and inviting with others were examined as sources of self-efficacy, while cognitive and metacognitive strategy use was examined as an outcome of self-efficacy. A total of...
