Background: Case-based learning (CBL) is simply teaching the concept to the students based on the cases. CBL involves a case, which is a scenario based on daily life, and study questions related to the case, which allows students to discuss their ideas. Chemical kinetics is one of the most difficult concepts for students in chemistry. Students have generally low levels of conceptual understanding and many alternative conceptions regarding it.

Noticing Student Mathematical Thinking Within the Context of Lesson Study GÜNER, Pınar; Akyüz, Didem (SAGE Publications, 2019-12-21) The purpose of this study is to investigate a preservice middle school mathematics teacher's noticing of student mathematical thinking within the context of lesson study as a component of a teaching practicum course in a teacher education program. This study also examines how preservice teacher education experiences in the context of lesson study influence the noticing skill of the participant preservice teacher, Lisa. Results indicated that the lesson study process supported teacher noticing of student mat...
Personal visions of teachers at a village primary school Byındır, Hasan Ali; Akar, Hanife; Department of Educational Sciences (2007) The concept of personal vision refers to teachers' ideal perception of education (teaching and learning, classroom management and educational implications for the society). Teacher's personal vision is how he or she wants these dimensions to be. This case study analyzed personal visions of teachers at a rural primary school and investigated the effects of the school context on teachers' personal visions. The data were collected from ten teachers through utilizing the semi-structured interview method. The re...
