The purpose of this study is to explore the development of pre-service science teachers' systems thinking skills through an outdoor education for sustainable development (ESD) course. The study was composed of four stages, which are defining systems thinking skills, designing an outdoor ESD course, developing measurement tools, and implementation. Twelve systems thinking skills were determined within the ESD and science education context. Qualitative data were collected through interviews and systems thinking skill levels were evaluated based on the rubric developed by the authors. Participants showed a slow improvement in four systems thinking skills which are related to considering the relationship between past, present and future, developing empathy with non-human beings, developing sense of place and adapting systems thinking perspective to personal life. There is a need to test the hierarchical level among the twelve systems thinking skills in future studies and to study each skill in different contexts.

Soysal, Ceren; Geban, Ömer; Teksöz, Gaye; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2017)
The purpose of this study was to explore pre-service chemistry teachers’ competency related to Environmental Education and Sustainable Development. In doing so, the frame was set to focus on three fields of competency: (i) content knowledge, (ii) pedagogical content knowledge, (iii) chemistry literacy. The data gathered from 24 pre-service chemistry teachers at the end of the spring semester of 2016-2017. Essay type questions was used as the source of data. The instrument was created by using the current co...
Experienced science teachers’ subject matter knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge regarding biogeochemical cycles in the context of education for sustainable development
Yılmaz Yendi, Bahar; Öztekin, Ceren; Department of Elementary Education (2019)
This study investigated experienced science teachers’ subject matter (SMK) and pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) regarding biogeochemical cycles in the context of education for sustainable development (ESD). Three science teachers (one male, two females) from different schools participated in the study. In this qualitative research, multiple case studies were used as research design. Data were obtained through interviews, content representations, observations, card sorting activity and teacher documents. ...
INVESTIGATING PRE-SERVICE EARLY CHILDHOOD TEACHERS' ATTITUDES TOWARDS THE COMPUTER BASED EDUCATION IN SCIENCE ACTIVITIES
Yılmaz, Nursel; ALICI, ŞULE (2011-07-01)
The purpose of this study was to investigate pre-service early childhood teachers' attitudes towards using Computer Based Education (CBE) while implementing science activities. More specifically, the present study examined the effect of different variables such as gender, year in program, experience in preschool, owing a computer, and the frequency of computer usage on pre-service early childhood teachers' attitudes towards using CBE while implementing science activities. The study was conducted by survey m...
