Bu araştırmanın
amacı ilköğretim 7.sınıflarda öğrenim gören öğrencilerin elektrostatik konusuna
ilişkin kavramsal anlamalarını belirlemektir. Bu çalışma Balıkesir il merkezinde bulunan üç ilköğretim okulunda öğrenim gören toplam
150 öğrenci ile gerçekleştirilmiştir.
Öğrencilere açık uçlu sorulardan oluşan bir kavramsal anlama anketi
uygulanmıştır. Öğrencilerin sorulara verdikleri yanıtlar nitel veri analiz
yöntemlerinden içerik analizi yöntemi ile analiz edilmiştir. Araştırmanın sonunda öğrencilerin elektrostatik
konusuyla ilgili kavram yanılgılarının olduğu görülmüştür. Bu kavram
yanılgılarından bir kısmı ilk defa bu çalışmayla ortaya çıkarılmıştır.
The studies that try to find out how students’
metacognitive skills affect their academic success of the English course are
really limited. Moreover, these studies, which are few in number, do not
consider English academic success in a general way. Therefore, in this study,
it was aimed to determine whether there is a relationship between the metacognition
skills of the English preparatory students and their academic success of the
English course. In addition, this study will also determine whether the
different variables related to students' demographic features have an effect on
the students' metacognition skills. This study is important in determining the
personal variables which affect metacognition skills and in determining the
relationship between this skill and the academic success of the English course.
In this study, singular and relational survey model, which are quantitative
research methods, was used and it is aimed to reach 50% of the universe in the
study. Data was collected by the Metacognition Scale developed by Turan (2009)
by using the items of Metacognition Inventory developed by Shraw and Dennison
(1994) to determine the metacognitive skills of the students. The scale is a
5-point Likert-type scale and consists of one dimension and 28 items. For this
reason, 350 scales were copied and conducted to the students. The students’
grades of first midterm exam were used to determine the academic success of the
students. The first midterm exam is a comprehensive exam that measures
students' speaking, writing, reading and listening skills. After analyzing of
the collected data to determine students' metacognition skill levels, it was
found out that students have high level of metacognition skills. Also, it was
seen that while the students’ metacognitive skills differ according to their
gender, they do not differ according to their age, faculty/college, education
type, high school. Besides, it was found out that there is not any significant
correlation between metacognitive skills of the students and their English
academic success.
