Üniversite Öğrencilerinin Kimya Laboratuvarına Karşı Tutumları: Kavram Haritasına Dayalı Tartışmacı Söylevin Etkisi

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of argumentation based on student-constructed ‘pre\' and ‘post\' laboratory concept maps on students\' attitudes towards chemistry laboratory in a university general chemistry course. Concept mapping has been used as a tool to carry out the argumentations about chemical concepts involved in general chemistry laboratory experiments between instructors and students, and among students. In the experimental group, students (N=41) performed their general chemistry laboratory experiments using individual, small and large group discussions based on students\' pre- and post- laboratory concept maps, whereas the control group students (N=43) performed their laboratory investigations using traditional approaches. A questionnaire to test the attitudes of students towards chemistry laboratory (QATCL) has been administrated to both groups as pre- and post-tests.
