The purpose of this study is to explore pre-service chemistry teachers' images of science teaching in their future classrooms. Also, association between instructional style, gender, and desire to be a teacher was explored. Sixty six pre-service chemistry teachers from three public universities participated in the data collection for this study. A modified version of Draw a Science Teacher Test Checklist (DASTT-C) was used as a data collection instrument. The results of study showed that pre-service chemistry teachers' perspective of science teaching style is 37,9 % student-centered, 22.7% teacher-centered, and 39.4% reflect the characteristics of both student-centered and teacher-centered approaches. A significant association was found between gender and instructional style. Female pre-service teachers are more willing to use student centered approaches rather than male pre-service teachers.

Preservice elementary teachers beliefs about science teaching
Yılmaz Tüzün, Özgül (2008-01-01)
In this study, a Beliefs About Teaching (BAT) scale was created to examine preservice elementary science teachers’ self-reported comfort level with both traditional and reform-based teaching methods, assessment techniques, classroom management techniques, and science content. Participants included 166 preservice teachers from three different US universities. Analyses revealed significant correlations among participants’ confidence level with assessment techniques, classroom management, teaching methods, and...
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.
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...
Preservice science teacher's efficacy beliefs regarding science teaching and their classroom management beliefs
Savran, Ayşe; Çakıroğlu, Jale Us; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2002)
This study intended to explore preservice science teachers' science teaching efficacy beliefs and their classroom management beliefs. In addition, preservice science teachers' efficacy and classroom management beliefs were compared regarding gender, and grade level. Also, the intenelationships among their efficacy beliefs, classroom management beliefs, the number of university pedagogical courses completed and university cumulative point grade average (CGPA) were investigated. The present study was conducte...

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...
