Determine analojical thinking condition of the students in 9 grade in secondary school and impact of using analogy in biology teaching to student achievement

Secondary aim of the study 9 grade students, and the analogy with the approach of analogical thinking skills course is unlike to each other is similar to the experimental group treated with the traditional approach to teaching students in a control group treated experimental unit within the scope of the basic components of living things after the implementation structure of enzymes, tasks, issues and factors that influence the function of biological importance and a significant difference between the academic achievement scores to determine whether there is.The research model, the use of screening, the students aimed to determine the status of analogical thinking. Pre-test-post test control group using the model of the academic success of students in the use of analogy is to determine the impact.Research, 2009-2010 academic year, the provincial center of Ankara High School, studying secondary education Kecioren 9 grade students performed on. The sample group was a 29-person test group, 26 people, including a control group of 55 secondary school 9 grade student is located.Secondary 9 grade students to determine the status of analogical thinking to students, "Analogical Thinking Test" was applied. 9.sınıf students in biology class, "Basic Components of living things" in order to determine their level of unit, students learn the subjects in the "Scientific Achievement Test" was applied.According to the survey, students in the experimental group and control group students, regardless of analogical thinking, there is no significant difference between groups t test comparing scores. This result, in both groups have similar characteristics in terms of analogical thinking, the ability to show that. Achievement scores of students in the experimental and control groups before the experimental study are similar to each other. Experimental study approach is applied in the process of analogy with the traditional approach and applied the experimental group's achievement scores of the control group there was significant difference between achievement scores. Analogy approach, students in the structure of enzymes, tasks, issues of biological significance and the factors that influence the function of learning has been useful.Keywords: Analogy, Analogical Thinking, Biology Education.
