This study investigated how preservice teachers develop collective efficacy when preparing lesson plans for a science methods course, and how this collective efficacy changed over time. The data were collected from four preservice science teachers working in a group to fulfil the requirements of the course. Findings revealed that four factors, including collaborative work, sharing the same goal, attitudes towards group work and group cohesion, played an important role in the development of collective efficacy among preservice teachers. The study also showed that collective efficacy improved continuously over the semester.

Preservice science teacher's efficacy beliefs regarding science teaching and their classroom management beliefs Savran, Ayşe; Çakıroğlu, Jale Us; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2002) This study intended to explore preservice science teachers' science teaching efficacy beliefs and their classroom management beliefs. In addition, preservice science teachers' efficacy and classroom management beliefs were compared regarding gender, and grade level. Also, the intenelationships among their efficacy beliefs, classroom management beliefs, the number of university pedagogical courses completed and university cumulative point grade average (CGPA) were investigated. The present study was conducte...
Preservice Science Teachers' Beliefs about Application of Science Process Skills: A Case Study Yılmaz Tüzün, Özgül (2012-04-01) The purpose of this study was to investigate preservice science teachers' (PSTs) beliefs about scientific process skills (SPS) and application of SPS during microteaching session. A case study approach was used. Participants were elementary PSTs enrolled in the practice teaching in elementary education course. Findings revealed that PSTs were not proficient in teaching SPS to students, however, their beliefs about SPS were found as satisfactory. After examining 200 lesson plans, it was observed that 77 of t...
Preservice elementary teachers beliefs about science teaching Yılmaz Tüzün, Özgül (2008-01-01) In this study, a Beliefs About Teaching (BAT) scale was created to examine preservice elementary science teachers’ self-reported comfort level with both traditional and reform-based teaching methods, assessment techniques, classroom management techniques, and science content. Participants included 166 preservice teachers from three different US universities. Analyses revealed significant correlations among participants’ confidence level with assessment techniques, classroom management, teaching methods, and...
Preservice Elementary Science Teachers Connections among Aspects of NOS Toward a Consistent Overarching Framework ÖZGELEN, SİNAN; Hanuscin, Deborah L; Yılmaz Tüzün, Özgül (2013-08-01) This study examined the connections elementary preservice science teachers made among various aspects of nature of science (NOS). Totally, 45 preservice science teachers who were enrolled in the Laboratory Application in Science II course participated in the study. The course provided meaningful and practical inquiry-based experiences, as well as explicit and reflective instruction about NOS. Each week, instructors targeted a specific NOS aspect related to the laboratory investigation. The design of the stu...
Learning how to create lesson plans: first year preservice mathematics teachers’ experience in university within school model Özkan, Betül; Işıksal Bostan, Mine; Tunç Pekkan, Zelha; Department of Mathematics Education (2021-2-15) The aim of this study was to examine how first year preservice mathematics teachers (PSMTs) in different levels integrate feedback given by a course instructor and classmates into their lesson plans. Moreover, the study investigated how PSMTs evaluated their performance during lesson planning process. The case study design was used to get detail information about first year PSMTs’ experience in University within School Model. Seventeen freshmen preservice mathematics teachers who were enrolled in Undergradu...
