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...
Development and Nature of Preservice Chemistry Teachers' Pedagogical Content Knowledge for Nature of Science Demirdogen, Betul; Hanuscin, Deborah L.; Kondakçı, Esen; Koseoglu, Fitnat (2016-08-01) The purpose of this case study is to delve into the complexities of the early development of preservice chemistry teachers' science teaching orientations, knowledge of learners, knowledge of instructional strategies, and knowledge of assessment during a two-semester intervention designed to enhance their pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) for teaching nature of science (NOS). Thirty preservice chemistry teachers enrolled in a Research in Science Education course participated in the study. Qualitative data ...
Development of pre-service chemistry teachers' pedagogical content knowledge for nature of science : an intervention study Demirdöğen, Betül; Kondakçı, Esen; Köseoğlu, Fitnat; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2012) The purpose of this study was to delve into the complexities of development of preservice chemistry teachers’ science teaching orientation, knowledge of learner, knowledge of instructional strategies, and knowledge of assessment during Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) for Nature of Science (NOS) instruction. Thirty pre-service chemistry teachers enrolled Research in Science Education course participated to the study. Case study, one of the qualitative research methods, was used as research design. PCK fo...
Middle school mathematics teachers' pedagogical content knowledge in relation to statistical reasoning Gokce, Rukiye; Kazak, Sibel (2017-01-01) To investigate middle school mathematics teachers' pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) with regard to statistical reasoning, an interview protocol was developed and used with nine teachers. This paper focuses on one of the problems in this interview protocol (Basketball problem) to illustrate teachers PCK in relation to four components: big ideas, student responses, student difficulties, and instructional intervention. Our analyses showed that levels of teachers' PCK varied in each component. Teachers had d...
