Özet:

The aim of this study is to identify the effects of the activities carried out in the project "From Science to Nature, From Nature to Science: Solutions to Problems" carried out within the framework of the TÜBİTAK 4004 Nature Education and Scientific Schools program, the attitudes of students towards the chemistry course and the degree of association of the information they gain in the ninth class chemistry course with daily life. In the research, the control methods of quantum research were used semi-experimental patterns without group. The research work group consists of 28 students who completed the ninth class of the Düzce ili Central High School in the 2017-2018 academic year and participated voluntarily in the research. The study conducted a total of 16 events in the fields of physics, chemistry, biology, environment and mathematics, and 4 of these activities are related to chemistry. The events are prepared in such a way as to trigger research, query and learning desires, taking into account the problem situations that participants may encounter in their daily lives. The study used a survey in which they were required to evaluate the information they obtained in chemistry classes as a data collection tool according to their level of association with everyday life ("no related=1" and "fullly related =10"). These data collection tools were collected by applying data to the participants at the beginning and at the end of the research. The collected data has been analyzed by the Wilcoxon Signed sequence test used for groups dependent on non-parametric statistical techniques. The study found that the activities in chemistry have a positive impact on the development of students’ attitudes towards the chemistry course in a positive direction and increasing their degree of association with everyday life with the information they obtain in the chemistry course.
