This study investigated the relationship between pre-service science teachers. written argumentation levels about socio-scientific issues and epistemic belief levels in an online discussion environment. A mixed-methods approach was used: 30 Turkish pre-service science teachers contributed with their written argumentations to four socio-scientific issues. The pre-service science teachers. argumentations were evaluated by an adapted version of argumentation analysis framework developed by Sadler and Fowler (2006) and their epistemic belief levels were measured using the Epistemic Belief Questionnaire by Kuhn, Cheney, and Weinstock (2000). The qualitative as well as quantitative results indicated that: (1) the pre-service science teachers produced high-level argumentations for each socio-scientific issue in an online discussion environment, (2) levels of argumentations increased from climate change to human genome project issue, and (3) higher-level argumentations were produced for higher epistemic belief levels (i.e., multiplist and evaluativist).

Pre-service science teachers’ perceptions of socioscientific issues: global warming as a case
Al, Saliha; Yılmaz Tüzün, Özgül; Department of Elementary Science and Mathematics Education (2015)
The purpose of this study was to investigate pre-service science teachers perceptions of socio-scientific issues. A total of 18 pre-service science teachers voluntarily participated in this study. To evaluate pre-service science teachers perceptions of socio-scientific issues, semi-structured interview protocol was designed. In the first part of the study, participants general perceptions of science, technology, and science-society-technology interaction was examined. In the second part of the study, one of...
Pre-service elementary teachers' motivations to become a teacher and its relationship with teaching self-efficacy
Bilim, Ibrahim (2014-06-08)
This study investigated 341 pre-service elementary teachers' motives to become a teacher using Factors Influencing Teaching Choice (FIT-Choice) theory as a basis. It then investigated how these motivations change as candidates follow their training and these motivations' relationship with teaching self-efficacy. The results suggests that Altruistic motives (make social contribution, shape future of children and enhance social equity) were the most influential followed by prior teaching and learning experien...
Pre-service Science Teachers' Approaches to Classroom Assessment
Çayır, Ayşenur; Sungur, Semra; Department of Science Education (2022-9-2)
The main focus of this study to examine Turkish pre-service science teachers’ approaches to classroom assessment, their conceptions of assessment, and the link between their apporaches to and conception of assessment. For the purpose of the study, a mixed method research design was used. In quantitative part, 676 pre-service science teachers, who enrolled 12 universities in six regions of Turkey, participated. The adapted version of Approaches to Classroom Assessment Inventory was administered to participan...
Pre-service Physics Teachers' Metacognitive Knowledge about Their Instructional Practices
Yerdelen-Damar, Sevda; Özdemir, Ömer Faruk; Unal, Cezmi (2015-10-01)
This study aims to investigate pre-service physics teachers' metacognitive knowledge about their teaching practices. The participants included six pre-service physics teachers. A taxonomy of metacognition for teaching was developed to analyze the level of pre-service physics teachers' metacognitive knowledge about their teaching practices. Analysis of data showed that pre-service physics teachers' metacognitive knowledge about their content knowledge was quite satisfactory; however, their metacognitive know...
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...
