Investigation of the Preservice Science Teachers’ Astronomy Conceptions via Planetarium Trip
Öz: Today’s educational and teaching activities comprise of the planned learning environments, including the informal learning environments and the field trips planned to be made to these environments (planetarium, museum, zoo, etc.), continuing for the whole life in a manner using all the available resources. In such activities, the teachers play a key role. The objective of the study within this context is to reveal the definitions and knowledge levels of the preservice science teachers (PSTs), including their opinions on planetarium and the contribution to science and astronomy education with preliminary and final tests with regards to the trip made to the planetarium, which is accepted to be as an environment for informal learning environments. The preliminary test of the study, where the phenomenological pattern was used as one of the qualitative research methods was fulfilled with 29 preservice science teachers (24 female, 5 male), while the final test process was fulfilled with 44 preservice science teachers (33 female, 11 male). The Planetarium Trip Survey Form (PTSF), developed by the researchers and comprising of open-ended questions was used as the preliminary-final tests. At the end of the research, positive changes were observed on the concepts of planetarium trip and the astronomy for the preservice science teachers, as well as providing suggestions for the respective research and the researchers, who plan to carry out similar studies.

Planetaryum Gezisi ile Fen Bilgisi Öğretmen Adaylarının Astronomi Kavramlarındaki Değişimin İncelenmesi
Öz: Günümüz eğitim öğretim etkinlikleri var olan olası tüm kaynakları kullanacak şekilde yaşam boyu devam eden, planlı öğrenme ortamları ile birlikte okul dışı öğrenme ortamları ve bu ortamlara (planetaryum, müze, hayvanat bahçesi vb.) planlanan alan gezilerini içermektedir. Bu tür etkinliklerde ise öğretmenlere önemli görevler düşmektedir. Bu bağlamda araştırmanın amacı okul dışı öğrenme ortamlarından biri olarak kabul edilen planetaryuma yapılan gezinin, fen bilgisi öğretmen adaylarının planetaryuma ilişkin tanımları ve bilgi düzeylerini; planetaryumlar ile fen ve astronomi eğitimine katkısına yönelik görüşlerini uygulanan ön ve son testler ile açığa çıkarmaktır. Nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden olgu bilim deseninin kullanıldığı çalışmanın ön testi 29 fen bilgisi öğretmen adayı (24 kız, 5 erkek), son testi 44 fen bilgisi öğretmen adayı (33 kız, 11 erkek) ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmada araştırmacılar tarafından geliştirilen ve açık uçlu sorulardan oluşan Planetaryum Gezisi Anket Formu (PGAF) ön-son test olarak kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonunda fen bilgisi öğretmen adaylarının planetaryum gezisi ile astronomi kavramlarında faydalı değişimler gözlemlenmiş, araştırmaya ve benzer çalışmalar yapacak araştırmacılara yönelik öneriler sunulmuştur.
