Özet:

 


The
aims of this study are to determine and compare the levels of scientific
process skills of 5th and 8th grade students. The skills
which were examined specifically for this research are as following:
Observation, classification, measurement, recording data, establishing space
and number relationships, predicting, identifying variables, interpreting data,
inference, hypothesizing, modelling, and experimenting.

 

Research
was conducted with a total of 200 students, 100 students at 5th
grade and 100 students at 8th grade, attending to a middle school in
the province of Kars. In this research the survey method was utilized. Science
Process Skills Test (SPST) consisting of multiple choice questions administered
to students of each grades to determine their level of science process skills.
Data was examined by utilizing frequency and percentage distributions.

 










The
findings show that the percentage of success achieved by the 8th
grade students is higher than the 5th grade students. In addition,
both 5th graders and 8th graders’ performance level for
experimenting and establishing space and number relationships are lower
compared to other process skills. Findings also showed that 5th grade students
are better in recording data, and 8th graders are better in creating
a model in compare to other science process skills.
