Abstract
Literature includes many studies based on analogies in which connections between target and source concepts were directly provided for students. However, in the current study, we tried to provide for them worksheets to apply analogies and encourage them to reach this relation network by themselves via following directions in the worksheets. Thus, the study aimed to reveal the effects of analogy-based worksheets about the chemical equilibrium on high school students’ learning. A qualitative research method was used. The sample included twenty-five students at 10th grade from a high school located on the north east part of Turkey. Data collected via a Chemical Equilibrium Concept Test (CECT), analogy based worksheets and also non-structured observations. For the study, ‘Chemical Equilibrium” was taught via two lessons plans including two analogy based worksheets. It is concluded that analogy based worksheets in which students were forced to connect old and new knowledge were quite effective to make students concretize and learn the chemical equilibrium concept as chemical equilibrium.
