Özet:

The aim of this research is to determine the basic scientific process skills levels that primary school students possess and to identify the factors that affect these skills in a positive or negative direction. For this purpose, the study of the karma method research patterns were preferred by the order opening patterns. For the quantial data of the study, 348 students from four primary schools that operate in the Mersin or the central districts (Mediterranean, Mezitli, Toroslar, Yenişehir) have been reached. The study used the "Basic Skills Measurement for Primary School Students" adapted to Turkish by Aydoğdu and Karakuş (2015) as a quantum data collection tool. The study’s quality work group consists of 12 students who study in the first and third classes of primary school. Qualitative data was collected through the "Interview Form on Basic Scientific Process Skills" created by the researchers. In the study, the analysis of quantitative data used visual statistics and one-way MANOVA analysis was made. The data is analyzed by the analytical method. The findings have shown that the basic scientific process skills of students are not at the desired level. It has also been shown that there is no differentiation in the scientific process skills according to the class levels in which students are. With the analysis of the quality findings, the reasons that revealed this result were explained and discussed in the light of the field.
