Özet:

 This study evaluates the Simple Electrical Circuits unit of the 4th Grade Science Curriculum according to Tylers Goal-Based Program Evaluation Model. A nested mixed-methods approach was employed in the research. The study group consisted of 238 students attending the 4th grade of a primary school located in the Şahinbey district of Gaziantep province during the 2021-2022 academic year, and 41 classroom teachers teaching the fourth grade in seven different primary schools in the Şahinbey district. The research was completed over a total period of 6 weeks, including all stages. Achievement tests, teacher questionnaires, observation forms, and semi-structured interview forms developed by the researchers were used as data collection tools. Descriptive statistics, dependent samples t-test, Cohens d test were used for the analysis of quantitative data, and content analysis was used for the analysis of qualitative data. In the research, it was found that students had a high level of readiness regarding the unit, there was a significant difference in favor of post-test scores compared to pre-test scores, and as a result, it was concluded that students achieved all the gains in the unit. Similarly, in the questionnaire administered to the teachers, it was determined that teachers had a positive perspective on the achievements of the unit and its relation to other elements of the curriculum; however, during class observations, it was found that both teachers and students had some misconceptions regarding the units concepts.

 Bu çalışma İlkokul 4. Sınıf Fen Bilimleri Öğretim Programında yer alan Basit Elektrik Devreleri ünitesinin Tylerın Hedefe Dayalı Program Değerlendirme Modeline göre değerlendirilmesidir. Araştırmada iç içe karma yöntem kullanılmış. Araştırmanın çalışma grubu, 2021-2022 eğitim öğretim yılında Gaziantep ili Şahinbey ilçesinde bulunan bir ilkokulun 4. sınıfında öğrenim gören 238 öğrenci ve Şahinbey ilçesinde bulunan 7 farklı ilkokulda görevli, dördüncü sınıfı okutan 41 sınıf öğretmeninden oluşmaktadır. Araştırma tüm aşamaları ile birlikte toplamda 6 haftalık bir süreçte tamamlanmıştır. Veri toplama aracı olarak araştırmacılar tarafından geliştirilen başarı testi, öğretmen anketi, gözlem formu ve yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen nicel verilerin analizinde betimsel istatistikler, bağımlı gruplar t-testi, Cohens d testi; nitel verilerin analizi için ise içerik analizi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada, öğrencilerin ünite ile ilgili olarak yüksek hazır bulunuşluk düzeyine sahip oldukları, ön-test ve son-test puanları arasında son-test puanları lehine anlamlı bir farkın oluştuğu; sonuç olarak da öğrencilerin ünitedeki kazanımların tümüne ulaştıkları sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Benzer şekilde öğretmenlere uygulanan anket sonucunda da, öğretmenlerin ünitenin kazanımları ve bu kazanımların programın diğer ögeleriyle ilgili olumlu bir bakış açısına sahip oldukları tespit edilmişse de ders gözlemleri esnasında öğretmen ve öğrencilerin ünite ile ilgili bazı kavram yanılgılarına sahip oldukları belirlenmiştir.
