In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the status of science teachers’ ability to use scientific reasoning skills, which are intellectual skills used in inquiry-based learning process and their self-efficacy perceptions towards teaching them. Convenience sampling was used to determine the participants who were 93 science teachers still working at state middle schools in central districts of Izmir province. The study was on cross-sectional survey design. “Scientific Reasoning Skills Test for In-service and Preservice Science Teachers (SRSTIPST)” with the aim of determining the participants’ ability to use scientific reasoning skills and “Self-efficacy Perceptions towards Teaching Scientific Reasoning Skills Scale (SEPSRS)” with the aim of determining their self-efficacy perceptions towards teaching these skills were used as data collection tools. At the end of the study, it was found that science teachers had success above average in the context of ability to use scientific reasoning skills. Detailed analysis revealed that teachers were the most successful in analogical reasoning and the least in causal reasoning. However, the finding that only one teacher could give correct answers to the all questions in SRSTIPST was remarkable. In the context of self-efficacy perceptions towards teaching scientific reasoning skills, it was found that teachers had high self-efficacy perceptions in both sub-factors and SEPSRS totally. Detailed analysis indicated that teachers had the highest self-efficacy perceptions scores in the items related to creating scientific reasoning skills based learning environment and the lowest in the items related to instructional ways for scientific reasoning skills.

Bu çalışmada fen bilimleri öğretmenlerinin, sorgulama sürecinde kullanılan zihinsel beceriler olarak akıl yürütme becerilerini kullanabilme ve bu becerilerin öğretimine yönelik öz yeterlik algılarının durumunu değerlendirmek amaçlanmıştır. Katılımcılar olarak, İzmir iline bağlı merkez ilçelerin resmi ortaokullarında görev yapmakta olan 93 fen bilimleri öğretmeninin belirlenmesinde elverişli örnekleme kullanılmıştır. Çalışma kesitsel tarama türündedir. Katılımcıların akıl yürütme becerilerini kullanabilme yeteneklerini belirleme amacıyla “Fen Bilimleri Öğretmenleri ve Öğretmen Adaylarına Yönelik Akıl Yürütme Becerileri Testi (FBÖAYBT)” ve bu becerilerin öğretimine yönelik öz yeterlik algılarını belirleme amacıyla “Akıl Yürütme Becerileri Öğretimine Yönelik Öz yeterlik Algısı Ölçeği (AYBÖ)” veri toplama aracı olarak kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın sonunda, fen bilimleri öğretmenlerinin akıl yürütme becerilerini kullanma yeteneği bağlamında ortalamanın üzerinde bir başarıya sahip oldukları bulunmuştur. Detaylı analizler öğretmenlerin en fazla analojik akıl yürütme, en az ise nedensel akıl yürütmede başarılı olduklarını ortaya çıkarmıştır. Bununla birlikte, FBÖAYBT’de yer alan tüm sorulara yalnızca tek bir öğretmen tarafından doğru cevap verilmesi dikkat çekicidir. Akıl yürütme becerileri öğretimine yönelik öz yeterlik algıları bağlamında, öğretmenlerin AYBÖ’nün hem geneli hem alt boyutlarında yüksek öz yeterlik algılarına sahip oldukları bulunmuştur. Detaylı analizler, öğretmenlerin akıl yürütme becerilerine dayalı öğrenme ortamı tasarlamayla ilgili maddelerde en yüksek; akıl yürütme becerileri öğretim yollarıyla ilgili maddelerde en düşük öz yeterlik algısı puanlarına sahip olduklarını göstermiştir.
