THE EFFECT OF CONCEPTUAL CHANGE TEXTS ON FOURTH GRADE STUDENTS’ ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT, SCIENTIFIC PROCESS SKILLS, ATTITUDES TOWARDS SCIENCE AND OVERCOMING OF MISCONCEPTIONS
Abstract
This study examines the effects of conceptual change texts on fourth grade students’ academic achievement, scientific process skills, attitudes towards science, and misconceptions. A total of 46 students participated in the study. They were from two different classrooms in a same school located in the eastern part of Turkey. The classrooms were randomly assigned as the experimental group and the control group. The implementation took six weeks and three hours per week. At the beginning of the implementation, pre-tests were administered to all participants. In the experimental group, conceptual change texts were integrated into instruction. On the other hand, the control group was instructed based on regular teaching methods and techniques. The results revealed that the conceptual change texts positively increased students’ academic achievement, scientific process skills, and attitudes towards science. In addition, despite non-significant, an increase was observed in favor of the experimental group in terms of their misconceptions. Considering the positive effects of conceptual change texts, they should be included in fourth grade science curriculum.
