THE USE OF PROBLEM-SOLVING TECHNIQUES TO DEVELOP SEMIOTIC PROCEDURAL KNOWLEDGE MODELS ABOUT MAGNETISM AND THEIR ROLE IN LEARNING FOR PROSPECTIVE SCIENCE TEACHERS

Öz

This study identifies prospective science teachers’ knowledge and achievement levels in terms of the variables affecting their problem-solving techniques. The aim is to develop a semiotic procedural knowledge model that will enable them to better understand complex subjects, such as magnetism. The model was established by generalizing the nodes from a semiotic model developed for multiple questions. Assessment and control mechanisms for learning systems were used in the model to maximize the production quality and efficiency of the prospective science teachers’ functional behaviors. The data for this study were collected through four measurement tools. The data were analyzed using VDOIHI scoring, and the knowledge and achievement levels were identified. The development of the semiotic procedural knowledge model was based on these knowledge and achievement levels. Results suggest that semiotic models are needed for improving the knowledge processes of prospective science teachers.
