Abstract

In this study, it is aimed to determine the model-analogy in the unit of “Electricity and Electricity” that is by the Physics teachers while expressing the concepts students have difficulty in understanding and the model-analogy that is given in the unit of “Electricity & Magnetism” of the Physics Course Book of 9th grade that is studied in schools connected to the Ministry National Education for this aim, a 25-people working group, consisting of the physics teachers working in Zonguldak, is formed. In the study, first the model-analogy samples that is given in the unit of “Electricity and Magnetism” of the Physics Course Book of 9th grade that is studied in schools connected to the Ministry of National Education and then by using the interview questions prepared by the researcher the model-analogy used by the teachers during their lessons is determined. Finally, the model-analogy found by means of the interviews with Physics teachers and the model-analogy in the unit of “Electricity & Magnetism” of the Physics Course Book 9th grade are compared. As a result of the study the model-analogy in the “Electricity and Magnetism” unit of the Physics Course Book of 9th grade that is studied in schools connected to Ministry National Education was found to be inadequate and also while for some topics Physics teachers didn’t need any model-analogy, for some topics they couldn’t find and use any model-analogy samples even if they needed. For this reason, we reached the final conclusion that, to solve the problem of not having enough model-analogy samples for the Physics teachers an adequate amount of model-analogy samples should be included to the course books and also the Physics teachers should make use of more model-analogy samples while explaining the concepts hard to understand and the abstract concepts during the lesson
