EXAMINING THE CONCEPT CARTOONS BY PRE-SERVICE PRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHERS

Year 2014, Volume: 1 , 386 - 390, 01.09.2014

Abstract

In this study, examples of
concept cartoons created by pre-service primary teachers related to certain
science topics were presented. The concept cartoons created by student-teachers
were examined in terms of topics they were related to, type of the characters,
forms of expressions in presenting different claims of the characters. Results
of the study showed that student-teachers were well aware of the misconceptions
that primary school students might have posses in various science subjects and
they have gained adequate skills to create appropriate concept cartoons to
diagnose these misconceptions.
