In today’s world, where the production of knowledge has reached unprecedented levels, the primary goal of education should not be to produce individuals who merely memorize information as it is, but rather to equip them with the skills to access and process knowledge (Kaptan, 1999). The importance of science education is undeniable in cultivating individuals who are capable of identifying appropriate strategies when faced with problems, using scientific process skills and higher-order thinking skills to solve problems like scientists, and actively engaging in transforming theoretical knowledge into practice through research and inquiry. In this context, Aydoğdu (2003) stated that the purpose of science curricula is for individuals to engage in an active learning process, meaningfully connecting new information with their existing knowledge. Students should not only receive information in the learning process but also consolidate it through their own experiences.
