Özet (Çeviri)

Global environmental events are becoming increasingly important, because mostGlobal environmental events are becoming increasingly important, because mostof them enter our daily lives and somehow shape our everyday activities. Earthquakes areone of the most important environmental events affecting our life. Despite extensivemedia coverage, the public?s scientific knowledge of earthquakes is limited. The purposeof this study was to design a questionnaire by using a new approach ?SystemicNetworks? to investigate students? existing knowledge of earthquakes. Systemicnetworks categorize features systematically in terms of events and their related actions. Inthe study, systemic networks were constructed around four possible features ofearthquakes: (a) what are earthquakes. (b) how do earthquakes happen?, (c) how canearthquakes affect other things such as objects or living things?, and (d) what can be doneto protect from earthquakes?The questionnaire was administered to 823 students in 5th through 8th grades.Participants included in the sample were chosen from two different locations: Aydin,Turkey, which is in a high-risk Earthquake zone; and Columbus/OH, which is in a lowriskEarthquake zone. In addition, the majority of students in the United States havereceived formal instruction about earthquakes whereas the majority of students in Turkeyhave not.Comprehensive Exploratory Factor Analysis (CEFA version 1.03 for MSWindows) was used to examine students? patterns of thinking. Ten factors were foundbased on the students? common pattern of thinking and all ten factors representedseparate themes framed around the features of systemic networks. The research showedsimilarities as well as differences between the responses in two countries. The USstudents? scientific knowledge about earthquakes was significantly higher than Turkishstudents and they held fewer naive beliefs than Turkish students about the definition ofearthquakes and about how earthquakes happen. Over half of the students in bothcountries do not know about earthquake safety. The results of this study found thatstudents who had experienced an earthquake did not have better knowledge about them.The success of this study also suggests that the network design of the questionnaire mighthave broader application to different subject matter and concepts.
