    Investigating the Effectiveness of Augmented Reality Technology in Science Education in Terms of Environmental Literacy, Self-Regulation, and Motivation to Learn Science
    (Taylor & Francis Inc, 2024) Arici, Faruk
    Augmented Reality (AR) is a technology that provides users with an engaging learning experience by placing interactive virtual 3D models in natural environments. It is known that the use of AR technology in science education has many educational benefits. This study investigated the impact of AR technology on the development of environmental literacy, self-regulation skills, and motivation for science learning, which are increasingly important skills. Acquiring these high-level skills is essential for supporting students' development in preventing environmental problems, addressing the motivation decrease seen primarily due to distance learning, and acquiring the self-regulation skills that have gained importance due to distance learning. The study was conducted with a quasi-experimental design on fifth-grade students, with one experimental (34) and one control (36) group. The findings were analyzed through MANOVA and content analysis. The results showed that AR technology supports environmental sensitivity, positive behavior, and the development of environmental knowledge and skills. In addition, AR technology has significant contributions in terms of self-regulation. Finally, it is recommended to use AR technology in science education to develop these variables and positively affect participants' motivation for science learning.

    Middle School Fifth-Grade Students' Level of Understanding the Concept of Condensation in Different Contexts
    (Amer Chemical Soc, 2024) Cengiz, Ekrem; Arici, Faruk
    Evaporation, condensation, and boiling are fundamental concepts taught in science and chemistry classes, closely linked to daily life. These concepts are vital for students to grasp the transformation and conservation of matter, the particulate nature of matter, and related principles. This study evaluated fifth-grade students' comprehension of condensation across various contexts. The research involved 80 male and 59 female students from a public school in a qualitative phenomenological study. Data analysis utilized the content analysis method. As a result of the study, it was revealed that the students who participated in the research did not understand the concept of condensation sufficiently and could not explain this concept at the desired level in different contexts. Based on the findings, incorporating real-life contexts when teaching the concept of condensation can enhance the understanding of the topic. Moreover, it highlights the significance of an investigative approach to learning new concepts.
