Before And After

The aim of this study was to describe conceptual understanding and sciences process skills of students through inquiry-based learning. The study was conducted in form of one group pretest-posttest design. Thirty five students of chemistry education program of fkip untan participated. Result showed difference of sciences process skills and conceptual understanding of students, before and after inquiry based-learning. Sciences process skills of students improved from 0% to 52% and 16% to 40% on very skilled and skilled categories respectively. Furthermore, conceptual understanding of students improved from 15% to 89%. To conclude, inquiry-based learning was able to improve conceptual understanding and sciences process skills of students. Key words: Inquiry-based learning, conceptual understanding, sciences process skills.

This study aimed to determine the influence of the activities developed based on GEMS on students' conceptual understanding and scientific process skills on the subject of "Earth Crust". Mixed method, which includes the collective use of qualitative and quantitative research methods, was employed in this study. The study was carried out in a public village school located in the Eastern Black Sea Region of Turkey. The research sample consisted of the 4th grade students of this school. 13 students participated in the study. Data were collected by Scientific Process Skills Test, Conceptual Understanding Test, and semi-structured interviews. Six successive activities were conducted. These activities are as follows: Field Trip, Let's Examine the Rocks, Factors Influential on Soil Formation (Parental Involvement), Erosion, Fossils and Rocks with an Economic Value, and Mathematical Modeling. The research findings show that an improvement occurred in the understanding levels of the students regarding the concepts of rock, metal, fossil, soil formation, and erosion as a result of the activities conducted. In addition, they had an opportunity to make observations, collect, record, and analyze data. Moreover, the activities were supported by mathematical skills such as measuring, modeling, and creating graphs.

The research aims to determine “the Impact of Scientific Creative Thinking Skills on Scientific Process Skills”. Thus, the research was performed with 24 teacher candidates in the control group and 24 teacher candidates in the experimental group in the second class of the Department of Science Teaching in a university in Istanbul Province. In the experimental group of the research, the laboratory program to be designed by the researchers on the basis of scientific discussion and research; and in the control group, the conventionally designed laboratory program were applied for an academic semester. The research data was gained through “Scientific Creativity Test” to be developed by Hu and Adey [14] and adapted by Kadayıfçı [16]; “Scientific Process Skills Test” to be developed by Okey, Wise and Burns, and adapted by Geban, Aşkar and Özkan into Turkish. The conclusions to be reached by the research are in favour of the experimental group and the last application, and it has positive impact on the opinions of the teacher candidates related with the development of the scientific creativity skills.
