چکیده

پیشینه و اهداف: آموزش و یادگیری علم شیمی به دلیل انتزاعی بودن بسیاری از مفاهیم آن، مانند ساختار اتم و پیوندهای شیمیایی با چالش‎هایی از جمله عدم انگیزه و ایجاد کج‌فهمی مواجه است. بنابراین نیاز به استفاده از روش‌های جدید و خلاقانه در آموزش آن احساس می‌شود. هدف این پژوهش، بررسی اثربخشی تدریس مبحث ساختارهای زیراتمی درس علوم تجربی پایه هشتم، با استفاده از روش‎های ترکیبی شامل فناوری و بازی آموزشی و روش‌های تعاملی و مشارکتی در درس علوم تجربی دوره اول متوسطه است. روش: این پژوهش با روش اقدام‌پژوهی و رویکرد مشاهده و تفکر تاملی انجام شد. جامعه آماری، شامل سه دانش‌آموز دوره اول متوسطه بود که براساس نیاز، تمایل و امکان حضور بعد از ساعت آموزشی انتخاب شدند. ابتدا، پیش‌آزمونی شامل سوالات متنوع برای سنجش سطح دانش اولیه دانش‌آموزان برگزار شد. سپس، یک راهبرد جدید تدریس شامل استفاده از پویانمایی، فیلم‌های آموزشی، رسانه‌های دو بعدی و سه بعدی، همچنین نرم‌افزارها و بازی‌های آموزشی، شبیه‌سازی و تدریس به روش یادگیری گروهی و مشارکتی طراحی و اجرا شد. پس از تدریس مجدد، پس‌آزمونی برای ارزیابی میزان یادگیری دانش‌آموزان و اثربخشی راهبردهای تدریس به‎کار‏گرفته شده، برگزار شد. یافته‌ها: نتایج نشان داد، این روش‎ها، به بهبود نمرات، افزایش انگیزه، رفع کج‌فهمی‎ و درک عمیق‌ مفاهیم علمی کمک کرده است. نتیجه‌گیری: بنابراین، پیشنهاد می‌شود که معلمان و برنامه‌ریزان آموزشی به این روش‌ها توجه بیشتری داشته باشند و آن‌ها را در فرآیند تدریس خود به‌کار گیرند.

چکیده [English]

Background and Objectives: Teaching and learning chemistry face challenges due to the abstract nature of many of its concepts including atomic structure and chemical bonds, leading to lack of motivation and misconceptions. Therefore, there is a need to use new and creative methods in chemistry education. The aim of this study is to examine the effectiveness of teaching subatomic structures in eighth-grade science classes using a combination of technology, educational games, and interactive and participatory methods in science education at senior high school level. Methods: This study was conducted using action research methods following an observational and reflective approach. The statistical population consisted of three senior high school students who were selected based on their needs, willingness, and ability to attend after-school sessions. Initially, a pre-test consisting of various questions was administered to assess the students’ initial level of knowledge. Then, a new teaching strategy was designed and implemented, which included the use of animations, educational films, 2D and 3D media, as well as educational software and games, simulations, and group and participatory learning methods. After re-teaching, a post-test was conducted to evaluate learning and the effectiveness of the teaching strategies being utilized. Findings: The results showed that these methods significantly improved scores, increased motivation, addressed misconceptions, and led to a deeper understanding of scientific concepts. Conclusion: Therefore, it is recommended that teachers and educational planners pay more attention to these methods and incorporate them into their teaching processes.
