The purpose of this study was to determine the fourteen pre-service mathematics teachers̕ beliefs about mathematics and teaching and learning of mathematics, and their expectations and acquisitions of the Five Year Integrated Program in the Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education at Gazi University, Turkey, and the development in their beliefs during the last three semesters of the program. The data were collected through four longitudinal interviews from each participant. Data collection process began at the beginning of the spring semester of the 2002ا2003 academic year and ended at the end of spring semester of the 2003ا2004 academic year. The interviews were tape-recorded and transcribed verbatim to produce a complete record of the interviewees̕ conversation. The findings that were gathered from analyses of individual interviews show that pre-service teachers came to teacher education programs with some beliefs about mathematics, and teaching and learning of it. The interviews have provided evidence that pre-service teachers seemed to develop some new beliefs about mathematics during the first 3.5 years of program, and that the courses of the last 1.5 years of the program improved and consolidated pre-service teachers̕ attitudes towards and beliefs about mathematics, and beliefs about the teaching and learning of mathematics. The research findings lead to the conclusion that OFD406, OFD408, OFD509 and OFD501 courses were perceived as the most effective courses and OFD402, OFD410 and OFD507 courses were considered as the least effective courses of the program.

Analysis of issues related to education of pre-service physics teachers in Turkey
Tam, Mehtap; Eryılmaz, Ali; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2006)
The purpose of this survey is to analyse the issues related to education of pre-service physics teachers in Turkey. After reviewing the related literature, the problems were grouped in three categories; (1) Problems occurred before entering Physics Teacher Education Program, (2) Problems occurred during Physics Teacher Education Program, and (3) Problems occurred after graduation from Physics Teacher Education Program. Three questionnaires; Pre-service Physics Teacher Questionnaire-1 (PPTQ-1), Pre-service P...
The effects of video-case based instruction on preservice teachers' achievemennt of course content
Baran, Evrim; Kiraz, Ercan; Department of Educational Sciences (2006)
It has been widely discussed that current practices of preservice teacher education are still far away from utilizing contemporary methods and strategies in its curriculum practices in Turkey. Preservice teachers are not provided enough classroom experiences connecting theory to teaching practice. As a result of this, many senior teachers need further guidance and supervision to transfer their knowledge into school environments. In order to address this failure in bridging what is learned and practiced in p...
Investigation of the preservice science teachers' views on nature of science
Erdoğan, Rahşan; Çakıroğlu, Jale; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2004)
The aim of this study is to investigate the views of preservice science teachers on nature of science (NOS). A total of 166 preservice science teachers participated in the study. A 21-item أViews on Science-Technology-Society (VOSTS)ؤ instrument, translated and adapted into Turkish, were utilized to assess participants̕ views on the nature of science. The VOSTS (Aikenhead, Ryan and Fleming, 1989) is a pool of 114 empirically developed multiple-choice items with nine categories. In this study, 21 item select...
