Basit Sarkaç Sisteminde Mekanik Enerjinin Korunumu Konusunda Öğrencilerin Kavram Yanılgıları

Abstract

This study has been conducted to explore grade 10 th students\' misconceptions about conservation of mechanical energy which is a subject included in secondary school physics curriculum in Turkey. For this purpose, the conceptual test of conservation of mechanical energy was developed. This conceptual test was given to 10th graders in 6 selected high schools in the city of Ankara. The analysis of the data revealed that the students had conceptual difficulties about conservation of mechanical energy. In this paper, in one part of the study, students\' misconceptions about conservation of mechanical energy in simple pendulum system have been discussed. It is clear from study that students had delevoped misconceptions about conservation of mechanical energy and transformations of different energy forms to each other. For this reason, it is important for teachers to use new teachiMekanik enerjinin korunumu, kavram yanilgilariConservation of mechanical energy, misconceptions Tam Metin
