Araştırma kapsamında makale ve tez olmak üzere toplam 33 çalışma incelenmiştir. Araştırmadan elde edilen bulgulara göre; araştırma sonucunda biyoloji alanında yapılan ölçek geliştirme ile alakalı makalelerin en çok 2013 yılında tezlerin ise 2018 yılında yapıldığı, makalelerin yayınlandıkları dergiler incelendiğinde Hacettepe Üniversitesi Eğitim Fakültesi Dergisi’nin birinci sırada olduğu, tezlere bakıldığında ise Necmettin Erbakan Üniversitesinin birinci sırada olduğu, makalelerde ve tezlerde ağırlıklı olarak tutum ölçeği geliştirildiği, biyoloji konusu olarak en fazla çevre ile alakalı ölçeklerin geliştirildiği, örneklem gruplarına bakıldığında en fazla öğrenciler ile çalışıldığı, tezlerde ve makalelerde örneklem büyüklüğünün en çok 101-500 aralığında olduğu, madde havuzu oluşturma sürecinde en fazla literatür taramasından faydalanıldığı, en çok biyoloji uzmanı görüşü alındığı, çoğunlukla sadece madde-test korelasyonu yapıldığı, yoğunlukla iç tutarlılık yönteminin kul­lanıldığı, makalelerinin çoğunda ilk sırada Faktör analizi sonrasında Açıklayıcı Faktör Analizi (AFA) yapıldığı, tezlerde ise en fazla Açıklayıcı Faktör Analizi (AFA) ve Doğrulayıcı Faktör Analizinin (DFA) birlikte kullanıldığı, makalelerde 2 ve 3 faktörlü ölçeklerin geliştirildiği, tezlerde ise 3 faktörlü ölçeklerin geliştirildiği, en fazla yapı geçerliği ve kapsam geçerliğinin tercih edildiği tespit edilmiştir. Araştırmadan elde edilen sonuçlara yönelik önerilere yer verilmiştir.

This study aims to examine the studies on computer-assisted teaching in science teaching in terms of different variables with bibliometric analysis. Scopus database was used to collect the data. The phrase "science education and computer-assisted teaching" was written in Scopus on 11_07_2023, and 1232 publications were found. Since not all data is related to computer-assisted teaching in science education, the Scopus Social Science section was selected and filtered, and 454 publications were subjected to bibliometric analysis. VOSviewer program was used for bibliometric analysis. As a result of the research, most studies on computer-assisted teaching in science education were done in 2010, most articles were preferred as document type, the most frequently used keyword was computer-assisted instruction, the country with the most publications was the United States, and the most cited publication was Leidner and Jarvenpaa (1993) and the most frequently used term is student.

The aim of this study is to reveal the content analysis and trends of studies on misconceptions in biology education. Within the scope of the research, articles containing misconceptions about biology were accessed from the Scopus database. "Biology and misconception" was searched in the title, abstract and keywords in the Scopus database on September 13, 2022. A total of 410 publications about misconceptions in biology education were found in the search. The years of accessed publications were determined between 1970 and 2022. A total of 410 publications were analyzed in the research, regardless of language. According to the data obtained, 53 countries and 143 journals published articles on misconceptions in biology. However, in order to obtain clearer data, 3 articles were determined as the minimum number of articles for a country, and 31 countries and 27 journals were considered in this research. According to this research, in terms of the number of documents, the USA is the most published country with 199 articles, and Turkey is the second most published country with 39 studies. It was also revealed that the most cited countries were the United States, Australia and the United Kingdom, respectively. "CBE Life Sciences Education" and "American Biology Teacher" journals were determined as the journals with the most publications on the subject. In addition, Journal of Research in Science Teaching, CBE Life Sciences Education, International Journal of Science Education, Journal of Biological Education, Evolution: Education and Outreach were identified as the most cited journals in the studies. The results of this study are thought to be important for the future development of studies on misconceptions in biology education. Regarding the results obtained from the research; Different indexes can be used in future studies, and other types of publications such as theses, conference proceedings or books can be used in analyses.

This research aimed to determine students' opinions on technology-supported drama activities applied in teaching the subject of the central nervous system in the biology course. The research used a case study design, a qualitative research method. The study was conducted with 25 students studying biology at a state university. An appropriate sampling method was used to determine the study group. Within the scope of the research, a semi-structured interview form was used to determine students' opinions about technology-supported drama method applications. This form allowed students to express their experiences in depth. The research results indicated that the students had a generally positive perspective on the technology-supported drama method used in the biology course. Since technology-supported creative drama activities provide students with a learning environment that they enjoy, this method can be recommended to increase students' interest in lessons and ensure permanent learning of content.

The aim of this research is to examine the effects of technology-supported drama method applications on students' academic achievements regarding the central nervous system and their attitudes towards biology. In the research, quasi-experimental design with pre-test post-test control group, one of the quantitative research methods, was used. The sample of the research consists of 50 students studying in two separate classes at a state university and taking biology courses. Within the scope of the research, the subject of the central nervous system was taught with the traditional teaching method in the control group and with the technology-supported drama method in the experimental group. In the research, "Academic Achievement Test" and "Biology Attitude Scale" were used as data collection tools to measure the academic achievements of the students. A statistical package program was used to analyze the data. As a result of the research, it was determined that the course carried out with the technology-supported drama method generally positively affected the academic achievements and attitudes of the students. In future studies, it is recommended that the effects of technology-supported drama method on students' academic achievement and attitudes in biology courses be examined in the long term with larger and more diverse sample groups.

This study aims at a detailed analysis of bibliometric studies in science education through articles published in peer-reviewed journals. The bibliometric network analysis performed on 846 articles in the Scopus database was conducted on the bibliographic data obtained using the VOSviewer program. In the citation analysis phase, the bibliometrix program, Lotka's law and author impact ratio measurements were used. The results obtained provide trends in the field of science education and important clues for researchers. According to the results obtained, it was determined that the most studies were carried out in 2022, according to years. According to the keyword analysis, it showed that the most frequently used keywords in articles were "education", "research", "bibliometrics", "citation analysis". Looking at the most frequently used terms, the terms "research productivity", "pandemic", "h index", "average" are respectively according to their high relevance scores. It has emerged that the most cited countries are the Spain, America, China, Brazil respectively. "Scientometrics", "Sustainability (Switzerland)", "Computers and Education", "Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology" are the most cited journals in studies.
