Current status of science education research:
According to Kempa,1991,Development of research in science education
is strongly effected by the curriculum development projects. Therefore ,
research studies carried out during 1960s were often linked to curiiculum
development work which sought to explore the advantages of a new
curriculum,or parts thereof,over an existing or previous one.
The science education literature has been dominated by research
findings concerned with children’s understanding and learning of scientific
phenomena in the last couple of decades ( Jenkins,2001).
On the other hand, the primary school curricula were renewed by the
MEB in 2004. The new science curriculum was based on the philosophy of
constructivism and active learning.This reform movement starting in 1990s
increased interest in science education research.Few research review papers
(e.g., Eybe @ Schmidt,2001;Rennie,1998;Tsai @ Wen, 2005) which
systematically examine the research papers published in science education
have appeared in recent years. Rennie (1998) surveyed research articles of five
English-language science education journals JRST( Journal of Research in
Science Teaching), IJSE(International Journalof Science
Education,RISE( Research in Science Education), RSTE9Research in Science and
Technological Education), and SE9Science Education) published in 1996 to
illustrate the quality of quantitative research articles.Rennie discussed
problems associated with the use of statistically significant testing and made
several recommendations such as how to improve the research quality of
related papers, including the use of correct terminology, the providing
sufficient information about the data to enable replications to be made, and
the reporting and interpretation of effect magnitudes.
Eybe and Schmidt (2001) examined research paper in chemistry
education specifically, based upon the qulity criteria of publication from
academic journals, reports and documents.
81 chemical education studies from 1991 to 1997 published in IJSE and JRST
were selected. The review was performed in terms of six quality categories and
corresponding criteria: theory relatedness, quality of the research question,
methods,presentation and interpretation of results, implications for practice,
and competence in chemistry. These reports have given specific guidance for
science education researchers on how to conduct research and to publish
quality articles.
Most recently, Tsai @ Wen (2005) conducted a content analysis in term’s of the
authors’ nationality, research types and topics of total 802 articles published
by IJSE, SE and JRST from 1998 to 2002.Given the results that majority of the
articles are published by the authors from the English speaking countries,
there were a significant number of papers published by the authors fron non-
English speaking countries indicating that science education research may
have progressively become an important field recognized by the international
academic community.
Regarding Turkey there is no systematic study carried out in order to assess
the development of science education research. The review carried out by
Sozbilir and Canpolat (2006) is the only exception. In this study the
developments in the world in educational research after Second World War
were reviewed and the paradigmatic changes in educational research methods
and their effects on teaching science were emphasized.
