Özet:

Studies on energy education show that the student's perceptions of energy, which is a interdisciplinary concept, are far from scientific. In order to be able to answer the question of how the concept of energy is taught, first of all, it is necessary to determine how energy is structured in the minds of students. Therefore, the purpose of the research is to reveal the cognitive structures of the engineering faculty students related to energy. The definition of how the concept of energy, which is a common subject of all engineering disciplines, is structured in the minds of the engineering faculty students will be able to the results that will lead to energy training. The research design is an image-qualitative scan model. The study group, which studied at the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture of Necmettin Erbakan University in the 2017-2018 academic year, was 163 3. The class student is formed. The student’s cognitive structure was used to reveal the “Word Relationship Test” (KIT). For the purpose of creating the word linking test, 6 key concepts that are related to the energy concept have been selected. The key concepts chosen for the QT are: energy, ATP, business, electromotor power, fission, power plant. A concept map for each section is created using a frequency table prepared using the answers students give to key concepts.
