This study aimed to determine the extent of pre-service science teachers’ (PTS) process and materialistic understanding of sound concept and the role of their task value beliefs in their scientific conception of sound. With this aim, the Sound Concept Inventory Instrument (SCII) was translated and adapted to Turkish. The SCII was administered to 320 PTS from four universities across Turkey. The average percentages of correct responses of PTS to the main and subcategory questions of the SCII showed that PTS hold both materialistic and process views of sound. Moreover, the results of the regression analysis indicated that PTSs’ task value belief was a significant predictor of their scientific view of sound. Based on these findings, a number of recommendations have been suggested for PTS education programs in Turkey.

Pre-service science teachers‘ self-efficacy in relation to personality traits and academic self-regulation Şenler, Burcu; Sungur, Semra; Department of Elementary Education (2011) The aim of this study was to examine the relationships among pre-service science teachers’ personality, self-regulation, and teaching self-efficacy by proposing and testing a comprehensive conceptual model. In the model, it was hypothesized that personality traits are directly linked to pre-service science teachers’ self-efficacy and academic self-regulation, and pre-service science teachers’ academic self-regulation is directly related to their self-efficacy. A total of 1794 pre-service science teachers (8...
