The Review on the Science Process Skills and the Levels to Create a Graphic: The Sample on Preservice Science Teachers

Abstract

In science education, drawing tables and graphics is a part of scienceprocess skills, and preservice teachers are expected to have these skills. The aim ofthis study is to examine the science process skills and create a graphic levels ofpreservice science teachers based on a given problem scenario. In the research, thesurvey method has been used. The research has been conducted with 87 preserviceteachers in total who receive their education at the third grade in The Department ofScience Education in a state university in Blacksea region. The worksheet which hasbeen developed by the expert researchers in their field has been used in order tocollect the data. 17 items and 3 aspects have been used in order that the data on thisactivity worksheet has been evaluated. The exact statements which include thescientific accuracy have been encoded as sufficient, the partly scientific accuracyhave been encoded as partially sufficient, and the incorrect statements and theempty answers have been encoded as insufficient. According to the frequencydistribution table which has been made as a result of the data, it has beendetermined that the preservice teachers are insufficient on the subjects of being ableto show the data of variables in the scenario on the ready figures, to position thevariables correctly onto the axes. According to the results obtained from theresearch, it is thought that other studies can be conducted on the subjects that thepreservice teachers are partially sufficient and insufficient.
