Current study is a multiple case study exploring three pre-service science teachers' pedagogical content knowledge for instructional planning regarding nature of science (NOS) teaching. All pre-service science teachers were taught NOS explicitly and expected to integrate their understanding of nature of science into their lesson plans. The analysis of lesson plans showed that participants still had difficulties in both integrating NOS explicitly and selecting appropriate strategies for assessing students' NOS understanding. The results suggested that efforts to improve pre-service science teachers' pedagogical content knowledge for teaching NOS should put more emphasis on strategies for assessing NOS and how to integrate NOS explicitly into science content.

Delphi technique as a graduate course activity: Elementary science teachers' TPACK competencies Aydin, Gamze Cetinkaya; Evren, Enis; Atakan, Iskender; Şen, Mehmet; Yilmaz, Betul; Pirgon, Ece; Yesilyurt, Ezgi; Akillioglu, F. Caglin; Ebren, Ebru (EDP Sciences; 2015-06-07) This study aims to explore graduate science education students’ views of elementary science teachers’ TPACK competencies by employing a Delphi technique. 9 graduate science education students enrolled in a graduate course participated in the study. In the first round, participants were asked to list the competencies of an elementary science teacher with high level of TPACK and a total of 88 competencies were listed. In the second round, all participants investigated these competencies and eliminated the sim...
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...
Pre-service science teachers' teaching self-efficacy: a case from Turkey ŞENLER, BURCU; Sungur, Semra (2010-10-31) The aim of this study is to determine pre-service science teachers’ teaching self-efficacy in terms of students engagement, instructional strategies, and classroom management. For the specified purpose, 1794 pre-service science teachers (876 males and 905 females) participated in the study. Results showed that pre-service science teachers have self-efficacy to use instructional strategies effectively and to manage classroom at higher levels than the efficacy to engage all students in learning.
The Investigation of pedagogical content knowledge of teachers : the case of teaching genetics Aydemir, Murat; Çakıroğlu, Jale; Öztekin, Ceren; Department of Elementary Education (2014) In this study science teachers’ content knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) on genetics was investigated with respect to science teachers’ knowledge of curriculum, knowledge of students, and knowledge of teaching strategies. Five experienced science teachers (one male and four female) teaching genetics to 8th grades from five middle schools participated in the study. Case study, one of the qualitative research designs, was adopted as a research design. In order to gather information on content...
Öğrenme rotaları temelli öğretimde öğretmen adaylarının matematiksel alan bilgilerini yeniden yapılandırmaları Yılmaz, Zuhal; Haser, Çiğdem (2018-01-01) Çalışmanın amacı sınıf öğretmeni adaylarının eşpaylaşım konusu ile ilgili matematiksel alan bilgilerini (MAB) öğrenme rotaları temelli bir öğretim ortamında nasıl yeniden yapılandırdıklarını incelemektir. Bu bağlamda dokuz öğretmen adayı ile bir öğretim deneyi eşpaylaşım öğrenme rotası kullanılarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmanın bulguları, adayların mevcut kavram yanılgı ve hatalarını düzelttiklerini ve bu yanılgı ve hataların altında yatan sebepleri açığa çıkardıklarını ortaya koymaktadır. Aynı zamanda, ...
