Bu araştırmada sınıf öğretmeni adaylarının sosyobilimsel konulara yönelik tutum ve görüşlerini incelemek amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmada tarama modeli kullanılmıştır. Araştırma verileri Sosyobilimsel Konulara Yönelik Tutum Ölçeği ve fen derslerinde sosyobilimsel konulara yer vermenin önemine ilişkin görüşleri belirlemek amacıyla açık uçlu bir anket sorusu yoluyla elde edilmiştir. Araştırmaya Kütahya Dumlupınar Üniversitesi Eğitim Fakültesi Sınıf Öğretmenliği Bölümü öğrencilerinden oluşan 163 kişi katılmıştır. Elde edilen verilerin analizinde yüzde, aritmetik ortalama, frekans, gruplar arası karşılaştırmalar için ilişkisiz örneklemler t-testi ve tek yönlü varyans analizi (ANOVA) teknikleri kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın açık uçlu anket sorusunu analiz etmek için de tematik analiz tekniği kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda öğretmen adaylarının sosyobilimsel konulardan hoşlanma durumlarının orta düzeyde olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca araştırmanın sosyobilimsel konulara yönelik tutumları arasında ise sınıf, sosyobilimsel konularla ilgili medya kaynaklarını takip etme, sosyobilimsel konularla ilgili ek kaynakları okuma sıklığı değişkenleri açısından anlamlı fark olduğu belirlenmiştir. Katılımcıların görüşlerinin analizi sonucunda ortaya çıkan bilişsel beceriler kazandırmak, Fen-Teknoloji-Toplum arasındaki karşılıklı bağı öğretmek, duyuşsal gelişimi desteklemek ve sosyal beceriler geliştirmek alanyazında bilim okuryazarı birey özellikleri ile ilişkilendirildiği için bilim okuryazarı birey yetiştirmek ana tema olarak belirlenmiştir.

Examination of attitudes and opinions of primary school teacher candidates towards socioscientific issues

Öz

The purpose of this study was to examine the attitudes and views of primary school teacher candidates towards socioscientific issues. This research utilized the scanning model and used the Attitude Scale towards Socioscientific Issues as well as an open-ended questionnaire to obtain data on views about how socioscientific issues should be dealt with in science lessons. The research was conducted by 163 students at Kütahya Dumlupinar University, Faculty of Education, Department of Primary School Education. In addition to percentage, arithmetic mean, frequency and unrelated samples t-tests for correlation between different groups, a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was implemented for data analysis. The open-ended questionnaire of the study was analyzed using thematic analysis. Based on the findings of the research, it was determined that teacher candidates enjoyed socioscientific subjects to a moderate extent. Moreover, it was found that there was a significant difference between opinions about socioscientific issues among research participants in terms of grade, following media resources related to socioscientific issues, and reading additional resources about socioscientific issues. As a result of the analysis of the participants' opinions, the main theme was determined to be raising science-literate individuals, because gaining cognitive skills, teaching the mutual connection between Science-Technology-Society, supporting effective development, and developing social skills are all associated with the characteristics of science-literate individuals in the literature.
