Abstract

At what level knowledge addresses a person’s demand, learning is expected to become at that high level. At that sense, a person will be more interested to learning in which level s/he correlates school topics with daily life. This study was made in order to determine at what level 6. and 7. th grade students use the concepts seen in science and technology class. In this research, it was taken advantage of individual survey model from the general survey model and the universe was made of 6. and 7.th grade secondary school students in central Kırşehir. The sample group was selected from 6. and 7.th grade students by using  “easily reachable state sample”. In order to collect data fort his research, “questionnaire form”, developed by researchers, was used and its validity studies were made by researchers. The concepts which 6. and 7.th grade primary school students have seen in science and technology class’ topics were defined and students were wanted to sample these concepts with daily life. By using SPSS 13.0 programme on computer to analyze research data; t-test analysis, percentage (%), frequencies (f), mean (X) and Standard deviation (ss) values were evaluated. From the research findings, while the unit students have most difficulty and misconceptions was the concepts of the unit related to matter, it was seen that they have the most correct answers at the concepts of light and sound unit.
