THE EFFECT OF ALTERNATIVE ASSESSMENT TECHNIQUES ON CHEMISTRY COMPETENCY PERCEPTIONS AND CHEMISTRY SUCCESS OF PROSPECTIVE SCIENCE TEACHERS

The aim of this study is to examine the effect of alternative assessment techniques supported by learning cycle model and traditional teacher centered education on chemistry competency perception and chemistry success of prospective science teachers. As the data collection tools chemistry competency perceptions scale and chemistry success test was used. It was determined that there is a significant effect of alternative assessment techniques supported by learning cycle model on chemistry competency perceptions and chemistry success of prospective science teachers. It has been determined that there is significant effect of traditional teacher centered education on chemistry success. Also it has been revealed that there was an increase in chemistry competency scores of prospective science teachers in control group however this increase was not statistically significant.
