This study aimed to capture the development of interaction among the components of pre-service chemistry teachers’ enacted PCK throughout the school experience course. Data were collected from four pre-service teachers using content representation (CoRe), observations, field notes, and semi-structured interviews. Secondary analysis was conducted by re-analyzing the pre-existing data for the previous study (Ekiz-Kiran B., Boz Y. and Oztay E. S., (2021), Development of pre-service teachers’ pedagogical content knowledge through a PCK-based school experience course, Chem. Educ. Res. Pract., 22(2), 415-430.) from a different perspective to find out the interaction among the components of pre-service chemistry teachers’ enacted PCK. In order to analyze data, we used three approaches: an in-depth analysis of explicit PCK, an enumerative approach, and the constant comparative method. Results were presented as PCK maps, and results indicated that the development of the integration of the PCK components was idiosyncratic. Moreover, the most significant development was seen in the connections between knowledge of curriculum and other components, especially knowledge of assessment. Additionally, knowledge of instructional strategy (KoIS) was the most frequently integrated component with the other PCK components. Implications for research and science teacher education are included.

Tısoğlu, Seçil; Çağıltay, Kürşat; Kurşun, Engin; Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technology (2017)
The first purpose of this study is to provide a detailed perspective for the use and integration of Open Educational Resources (OER) into chemistry laboratory courses through the students’, faculty members’ and teaching assistants’ perspective. Specifically, the factors affected the use and integration of OERs into general laboratory course context through systemic perspective was explained in detailed. The second purpose of this study is to present the impact of these resources on users’ perceived performa...
Implementation of conceptual change oriented instruction using hands on activities on tenth grade students' understanding of gases concepts
İpek, İnciser; Kondakçı, Esen; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2007)
The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of the conceptual change oriented instruction using hands-on activities and traditionally designed chemistry instruction on 10th grade students’ understanding of gases concept. Also, the effect of instruction on students’ attitude toward chemistry as a school subject was investigated. The sample of the study consisted of 59 tenth grade students from two chemistry classes in a public high school. This study was conducted during the 2006-2007 fall sem...
Exploring the Development of Preservice Science Teachers' Views on the Nature of Science in Inquiry-Based Laboratory Instruction
Ozgelen, Sinan; Yılmaz Tüzün, Özgül; HANUSCIN, Deborah L. (2013-08-01)
The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of the inquiry-based and explicit-reflective laboratory instruction on preservice science teachers' (PSTs) conceptions of the nature of science (NOS) aspects. This study was carried out during the Laboratory Application in Science II course. All 52 preservice elementary science teachers enrolled in the course consented to participate in the study; 37 were female and 15 were male, with a mean age of 22.8 years. All had the same science major background, and...
Facilitating conceptual change in learning rate of reaction concepts
Bozkoyun, Yasin; Geban, Ömer; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2004)
The main aim of this study to investigate the effectiveness of conceptual change texts oriented instruction accompanied with analogies over traditionally designed chemistry instruction on overcoming 10th grade students̕ misconceptions, their understanding of rate of reaction concepts and attitude towards chemistry as a school subject. 56 tenth grade students from two classes of a chemistry course taught by the same teacher in the ATATÜRK Anatolian High school, participated in the study. This study was carri...
Promoting Conceptual Change in Chemical Reactions and Energy Concepts through the Conceptual Change Oriented Instruction
Ceylan, Eren; Geban, Ömer (2010-07-01)
This study was designed to investigate the effectiveness of the conceptual change oriented instruction through demonstration over traditionally designed chemistry instruction on 10th grade students' understanding of chemical reactions and energy concepts and their attitudes towards chemistry as a school subject. One of the groups was defined as control group in which students were taught by traditionally designed chemistry instruction (TDCI), while the other group defined as experimental group in which stud...
