The purpose of the present study was to investigate the pre service science teachers’ perceptions related to science teaching. Within this scope, participants’ perceptions related to their pedagogical knowledge (PK) and pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) were examined. Furthermore, it was aimed to investigate the effect of gender and level of achievement on participants’ perceptions regarding PK and PCK. 176 fourth year pre service science teachers from three state universities of Ankara participated in the study. The design of the study was planned as survey and two questionnaires were administered to the participants in order to collect data. Data obtained from the questionnaires were analyzed by using both descriptive and inferential statistics. The results of the study revealed that pre service science teachers perceived themselves as competent in terms of both PK and PCK. When components of PK were examined, participants’ perceptions were high regarding classroom management, learners and learning, lesson planning and assessment. With respect to components of PCK, participants perceived that they had high level knowledge of science instructional strategies, knowledge of science learners, knowledge of science misconceptions, knowledge of science curriculum and knowledge of science assessment. Moreover, no significant difference was found between female and male participants’ perceptions pertinent to PK and PCK. It was also observed that level of achievement did not make any difference on pre service science teachers’ perceptions related to PK and PCK

Examination of interaction between pre-service chemistry teachers’ pedagogical content knowledge and content knowledge in electrochemistry
Kutucu, Elif Selcan; Boz, Yezdan; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2016)
The purpose of this study was to examine the interaction between pre-service chemistry teachers’ pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) and content knowledge (CK) while teaching electrochemistry. Two pre-service chemistry teachers enrolled in practice teaching course in chemistry education program. All PCK components were studied in the current study to examine participants’ PCK. In order to get detailed information and understand deeply the interaction between CK and PCK, qualitative methodology was used and ...
Investigation of the relationship between pre-service science teachers' understandings of nature of science and their personal characteristics
Çetinkaya, Gamze; Çakıroğlu, Jale; Department of Elementary Science and Mathematics Education (2012)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the possible relationships between pre-service science teachers' understanding of nature of science (NOS) and their personal characteristics; understanding of nature of scientific inquiry (NOSI), epistemological world views, self-efficacy beliefs regarding science teaching, attitudes towards science teaching, metacognitive awareness level and faith/worldview schemas. The sample of the present study were 60 PSTs that are 3rd year students at elementary science edu...
Development of pre-service chemistry teachers' pedagogical content knowledge for nature of science : an intervention study
Demirdöğen, Betül; Kondakçı, Esen; Köseoğlu, Fitnat; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2012)
The purpose of this study was to delve into the complexities of development of preservice chemistry teachers’ science teaching orientation, knowledge of learner, knowledge of instructional strategies, and knowledge of assessment during Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) for Nature of Science (NOS) instruction. Thirty pre-service chemistry teachers enrolled Research in Science Education course participated to the study. Case study, one of the qualitative research methods, was used as research design. PCK fo...
Exploring preservice science teachers’ energy conservation behavior through motivation, psychological needs and attitude: further supported with their awareness
Çakır Yıldırım, Birgül; Yılmaz Tüzün, Özgül; Department of Elementary Education (2017)
The primary focus of this study was to examine the relationships among attitudes toward energy conservation, self-determined motivation and basic psychological needs of preservice science teachers. To this end a model showing the relationship among these variables was suggested. In order to better understand the observed relationships in the model, interviews with PSTs were conducted. For the purpose of the study mixed method was used. In quantitative part of the study, 1136 preservice science teachers, who...
