Abstract (2. Language): 
In this study, the effects of gender on high school students’ conceptualunderstandings of major concepts of motion and motion laws measured byusing different assessment techniques were examined. Participants were 136 students (Male=87, female=49)from various high schools in Bolu. The subjects of this study were taught motion and motions laws in high school physics course in the spring semester of 2003-2004. After completing the spring semester, students’ conceptual understandings of major concepts of motion and motion laws were assessed by using three tests developed in different formats. Data collected in this study were analyzed by using Ancova techniques. Results of Ancova techniquies showed that there was statistically significant difference between male and female students’ conceptual understanding levels when used multiple choice test technique, but there were not significant differences between conceptual knowledge levels of males and females when used both open-ended and structural communication grid techiques. The findings of the present and previous studies were compared and the possible effects of the present study’s findings on teaching and learning were discussed.

Abstract (Original Language): 
Bu çalışmada cinsiyetin farklıölçme teknikleri kullanılarak belirlenen hareket ve hareket yasaları konularındaki kavramsal bilgi düzeyine etkisi incelenmiştir. Çalışmaya Bolu ilindeki değişik liselerden 136 öğrenci (erkek=87, kız=49) katılmıştır. Bu çalışmaya katılan öğrencilerin tamamı 2003-2004 eğitim ve öğretim yılının güz döneminde hareket ve hareket yasalarıile ilgili konuları kapsayan dersleri tamamlamışlardır. Bu öğretim yılının bahar döneminin başında öğrencilerin hareket ve hareket yasalarıkonularındaki kavramsal bilgi düzeyleri farklıüç test tekniği (çoktan seçmeli, açık uçlu ve yapılandırılmışiletişim gridi) kullanılarak belirlenmiştir. Çalışmada elde edilen verilerin Ancova teknikleri kullanılarak analizi sonucunda, kız ve erkek öğrencilerin çoktan seçmeli test tekniği kullanılarak ölçülen kavramsal bilgi düzeyleri arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlıfarkın olduğu fakat açık uçlu ve yapılandırılmışiletişim gridi teknikleri kullanılarak ölçülen kavramsal bilgi düzeyleri arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlıfark olmadığı görülmüştür. Bu çalışmadaki bulguların literatürdeki çalışmalarla ilişkisine bakılmışve bu bulguların eğitim programıve öğretmen yetiştirilmesi açısından önemi eleştirel bir bakışaçısıyla analiz edilmiştir.
