This study focused on investigating the relationship between middle school students’ epistemological beliefs, argument quality and informal reasoning across three different SSI namely space explorations (SPE), genetically modified organisms (GMO) and nuclear power plants (NPP). Correlational design was adopted. Total of 101 students (39 female, 62 male) were constituted the participants. Written arguments were coded based on the Lakatos’ Scientific Research Programmes and SEE-SEP Model. It was found that students displayed the most sophisticated epistemological beliefs on justification. It was found that the participants had the highest total score on SPE and mostly reported that they are sure of their decisions, however they generated less than one PH and NH for each SSI. Participants mostly used value regardless of the SSI topic; the arguments were mostly from the subject area of science. Correlation analysis revealed that source/certainty was positively correlated with PH and NH on SPE; NH on NPP topic. Development was positively correlated with NH on NPP. Justification was positively correlated with PH and NH; and the total score on SPE. Total codes used while generating counterarguments on NPP was positively correlated with both source/certainty and development. Justification was positively correlated with total codes used while generating counter-arguments on SPE.

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...
A sandwich-type DNA array platform for detection of GM targets in multiplex assay
Cansiz, Sena; Özen, Can; Bayrac, Ceren; Bayrac, A. Tahir; Gül, Fatma; Kavruk, Murat; Yilmaz, Remziye; EYİDOĞAN, FÜSUN; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni (2012-09-01)
Over the last decade, array detection has been developed to qualitatively assess the presence of genetically modified organisms (GMOs). To date, DNA array systems have the highest capabilities as a result of GMOs analysis. We describe the construction of an array platform in the sandwich hybridization format for the detection of transgenic promoter of Cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV; p35S). Sequence-specific signal development has been achieved by a sandwich complex composed of a surface immobilized capture ...
A rapid method for detection of genetically modified organisms based on magnetic separation and surface-enhanced Raman scattering
GÜVEN, BURCU; BOYACI, İSMAİL HAKKI; TAMER, UĞUR; Çalık, Pınar (Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2012-01-01)
In this study, a new method combining magnetic separation (MS) and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) was developed to detect genetically modified organisms (GMOs). An oligonucleotide probe which is specific for 35 S DNA target was immobilized onto gold coated magnetic nanospheres to form oligonucleotide-coated nanoparticles. A self assembled monolayer was formed on gold nanorods using 5,5'-dithiobis (2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB) and the second probe of the 35 S DNA target was immobilized on the activa...
Using plasmid reference materials for genetically modified organisms analysis and their verification with inter-laboratory comparison test
Tuğrul, Tuğçe Ceren; Yücel, Ayşe Meral; Yılmaz, Remziye; Department of Biotechnology (2016)
Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) have been strictly controlled with legislative regulation in many countries. In this study, plasmid reference materials (PRMs) for identification and quantification of GMOs had been developed and the verification of PRMs was done to be done with interlaboratory comparison test (ICT). PRMs made of plasmid DNA that were used for developing GMO analysis method. In this study, four PRMs were developed and their optimization was achieved with quantitative polymerase chain re...
Investigating preservice science teachers' understanding of role and distribution of ozone layer and ozone layer depletion through mental models and ontological beliefs /
Yanış, Hilal; Yılmaz Tüzün, Özgül; Department of Elementary Science and Mathematics Education (2012)
The purpose of this study was to investigate preservice science teachers’ mental models about the role and distribution of ozone layer and ozone layer depletion regarding their ontological orientation. This study was conducted with twenty four preservice science teachers who were enrolled in Elementary Science Education Program of Education Faculty of one public university located in Central Anatolia. From each grade level six preservice science teachers were selected; two from low achiever, two from middle...
