Öğe Basic Laws of Thermodynamics and the Influence of Vitalistic Conception on Learning of the High School Students About Matter Cycle and Energy Flow(2009) Öztaş, FulyaThis study analyzes whether the basic laws of thermodynamics or vitalistic conception is effective in explanation of the matter cycle and energy flow in an ecological system by the high school students. The findings of the study suggest that although the students know the physical and chemical laws about matter cycle and energy flow as well as the second law of thermodynamics on theoretical basis, they are faced with some difficulties arising from the vitalistic conception in applying to the biological facts.Öğe Biology Teacher Candidates’ Misconceptions About Surface Tension, Adhesion and Cohesion(Elsevier Science Bv, 2010) Öztaş, Fulya; Bozkurt, ErsinThe diagnosis of student's misconceptions and the identification of the reasons for these misconceptions are prerequisite for conceptual changes. Water surface tension, cohesion and adhesion are the basic subjects of secondary school curriculums. Grasping these concepts is key to understanding more important life processes with regard to water, particularly water and mineral uptake of plants. Also these terms are closely related to key concepts in physics and chemistry such as energy usage, and cohesion and adhesion of molecules. This study aimed to identify students' misconceptions about surface tension, cohesion and adhesion and their role in water and mineral uptake in plants with a questionnaire featuring open ended questions that demanded short answers. As a result, it has been seen that many teacher candidates hold misconceptions about water surface tension, cohesion and adhesion, and their chemical, physical and biological properties and functionsÖğe Conceptual Problems in Biology-Related Topics in Primary Science and Technology Textbooks in Turkey(2009) Dikmenli, Musa; Çardak, Osman; Öztaş, FulyaDetermination of conceptual problems which may cause alternative conceptions in science and technology textbooks is significant to increase in success of pupils and teachers.

For this reason, it is very important to raise the awareness the public in terms of the risk factors because of the usage of methyl parathion. The researches showed that methyl parathion inhibits cholinesterase enzyme in the human brains, cause genotoxic effect in mammalian somatic cells in culture medium and increase the anormalities in chromosomal structure. It was determined that this insecticide causes a decrease in the body weights of experimental animals and an increase in the weight of liver, cellular damages in the livers, various neurological problems by affecting reproduction, nervous and cardiovascular systems. Since methyl parathion causes the formation of a toxic medium for human beings, birds, fresh water fish, other hydrophilous organisms as well as sea organisms by mixing to air, soil and water, it is well known that the usage of methyl parathion as an insecticide is a threatening factor for the ecosystem. The usage of methyl parathion has been forbidden in EU (European Union) countries since 2003 and some restrictions have been applied in United States of America. There is no limiting or forbidding enforcement related with the usage of methyl parathion which is in the 3(rd) order among commonly used pesticides in our country. To bring new arrangements for the usage of methyl parathion which constitutes various risk factors in terms of ecological factors may minimize the ecotoxicological effects of this pesticide.Öğe High School Students' Images of an Environmental Scientist(SILA SCIENCE, 2010) Dikmenli, Musa; Çardak, Osman; Öztaş, Fulya; Yakışan, MehmetUnderstanding the nature of science and how an environmental scientist works develops the abilities of the students in participating in environmental discussions and critically evaluating environmental problems. Therefore, it is important to work on the image of the scientist, as well as attitudes towards scientists. The purpose of this study is to investigate high school students' images of environmental scientists. In this respect, six questions were used to determine 227 high school seniors' images of environmental scientists. The students were asked to draw a picture of an environmental scientist. In addition, questions were asked on the age of the environmental scientist, his or her job, work setting, and sources of images. In the analysis of the data, firstly, the number of the drawings depicted by the students and the gender of the scientists in these drawings were determined. Then, each drawing was evaluated according to indicators of a standard image of a scientist determined in previous research. A description method was used in analyzing the data. The students' answers were coded and the frequency distribution shown. It was determined in this study that high school students generated drawings displaying both positive and negative images of a scientist. Some of those drawings showed similarities with stereotypical images of scientists reported in previous research.Öğe Ideas' of 9th Class Students at High Schools About "Water and Life" and Their Misconceptions(2012) Türköz, Emre; Kalıpçı, Erkan; Öztaş, Fulya; Bozkurt, Ersin; Öztaş, HaydarWater is a common study field of physics, chemistry, biology and environmental engineering and it's indispensable for sustainability of ecological balance and lives of living things. Knowing well the physical, chemical and biological properties of water by students enables biological systems and working principles of cells to be understood better. The aim of this study is to determine the opinions of 9 th class students at high schools about "Water and Life" and their misconceptions. The data of the research were collected via questionnaire forms applied to totally 60 students at 9 th class of Kozakli Anatolian High School in Kozakli district of Nevsehir city belonging to 2010-2011 education year. In the first part of the questionnaire, the students were asked for 10 open-ended questions aimed at determining sociodemographic attributes of them.

In this study patient responses were collected using a questionnaire is include seven questions. The findings have been shown that its is possible to suggest pharmacist-patient relationships were more healthy if pharmacists approach their patients via a social exchange and 'give more drug information to patients. The finding of this study also may help researcher learn more about the social aspects of pharmacist-patient relationship from perspective of patients.Öğe Teacher Candidates' Perception Level of Environmental Pollutant and Their Risk Factors(2009) Öztaş, Fulya; Kalıpçı, ErkanIt is generally accepted that the environmental education deals with a wide range of environmental experiences, methods and processes. Teaching the subject of the environment should not be considered as an easy task. It should not only cover pure ecology education; but also include the citizenship responsibilities and the problems that are sourced from other interdisciplinary factors. Therefore teachers should have the responsibility to facilitate environmental issues. Hitherto no researcher has undertaken a comprehensive study that focuses on environmental education in teacher training programs. This study aims to detect basic environmental knowledge of Turkish teacher candidate at the onset of their studies. This study has been conducted during in the fall of 2007 with a heterogeneous group of 248 teacher candidates from Education Faculty in Turkey, 82 students chosen from randomly from biology, science and 84 students from classroom teacher departments. To detect respondents' basic knowledge about environmental pollutants we administrated the questionnaire during the 1st month of their last academic year. The results found in this research have shown that teacher candidates possess less pro environmental knowledge. An interpretation of these results is that the teacher candidates do not fully comprehend the underlying ecological and environmental concepts related to environmental issues. Therefore, the design of pre service programs should take into account the characteristic of the student population which are the outcome of their social, cultural, and physical environments, and include all the necessary components for adequately preparing future educators to effectively address the environmental education of their future students. This may reflect into pupils' attitudes during teaching process in primary and secondary schools.Öğe Value Judgments and Perceived Self-Efficacy of Biology Teacher Candidates(Soc Personality Res Inc, 2009) Öztaş, Fulya; Dilmaç, BülentThe main values perception of biology teacher candidates was examined, as well as the effects of those values on self-efficacy perception. Research was conducted on a heterogeneous group of 162 biology teacher candidates (44 males and 118 females) studying at the Faculty of Education, Selcuk University, Konya, Turkey. The Teacher Self-Efficiency Scale developed on the basis of Bandura's theory by Schwarzer, Schmitz, and Daymer (1999) was modified and applied in this research in order to measure the self-efficacy perception of teachers. Findings demonstrate that teachers' values significantly predict their professional self-efficacy levels.
