Direct linkCalik, Muammer; Okur, Murat; Taylor, Neil – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2011
The purpose of this study was to compare different conceptual change methods within a topic on "sound propagation". The study was conducted with 80 grade 5 students (aged 11-12 year old) drawn from four cohort classes in an elementary school on the north coast of Black Sea Region in Turkey. While one class was assigned as a control…

Calik, Muammer; Kolomuc, Ali; Karagolge, Zafer – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2010
This paper reports on an investigation of the effect of conceptual change pedagogy on students' conceptions of "rate of reaction" concepts. The study used a pre-test/post-test non-equivalent comparison group design approach and the sample consisted of 72 Turkish grade-11 students (aged 16-18 years) selected from two intact classrooms.…

Calik, Muammer; Ayas, Alipasa; Coll, Richard K. – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2009
This paper reports on an investigation on the use of an analogy activity and seeks to provide evidence of whether the activity enables students to change alternative conceptions towards views more in accord with scientific views for aspects of solution chemistry. We were also interested in how robust any change was and whether these changes in…

Calik, Muammer; Ayas, Alipasa; Ebenezer, Jazlin V. – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2009
The study aims to demonstrate evidence of (a) students' conceptual change on solution rates; (b) students' sub-microscopic explanations of dissolution; and (c) retention of the concepts of solution rates. The sample consists of 44 Grade 9 students (18 boys and 26 girls) drawn purposively from two different classes (22 each) in the city of Trabzon,…

Calik, Muammer – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2008
The aim of the work presented here was to devise an activity associated with factors affecting boiling points. The intervention used a four-step constructivist-based teaching strategy, which was subsequently evaluated by a cohort of students. Data collection consisted of application of a purpose designed questionnaire consisting of four open-ended…

Calik, Muammer; Ayas, Alipasa; Coll, Richard K.; Unal, Suat; Costu, Bayram – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2007
The research presented in this paper consisted of an investigation of the effectiveness of a four-step constructivist-based teaching activity on student understanding of how pressure and temperature influence the dissolution of a gas in a liquid. Some 44 Grade 9 students (18 boys and 26 girls) selected purposively from two school classes in the…
