Akkanat, Cigdem; Gokdere, Murat – Cypriot Journal of Educational Sciences, 2017
Student's ability to use and manipulate scientific concepts has been widely explored; however there is still a need to define the characteristics and nature of science ability. Also, the tests and performance scales that require minimal conceptual knowledge to measure this ability are relatively less common. The aim of this study was to develop an…
