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 knowledge about instructional methods, students' pre-instructional knowledge, and the task of teaching needs to be improved. The results of the study provided evidence that metacognitive knowledge on teaching is a fruitful framework to generate interpretations about the participants' instructional processes.

Pre-service teachers' achievement and perceptions of the classroom environment in flipped learning and traditional instruction classes ÖZÜDOĞRU, MELİKE; Aksu, Meral (Australasian Society for Computers in Learning in Tertiary Education, 2020-01-01) The aim of this study was to investigate whether flipped learning affects pre-service teachers' achievement and perceptions related to the classroom environment. This experimental study was conducted in the fall semester of 2017-2018 for 11 weeks at a state university in Turkey and included a total of 56 pre-service teachers. An achievement test and a scale were implemented to collect the data. The analyses through descriptive and inferential statistical analysis techniques showed that flipped learning grou...
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.
Noticing Student Mathematical Thinking Within the Context of Lesson Study GÜNER, Pınar; Akyüz, Didem (SAGE Publications, 2019-12-21) The purpose of this study is to investigate a preservice middle school mathematics teacher's noticing of student mathematical thinking within the context of lesson study as a component of a teaching practicum course in a teacher education program. This study also examines how preservice teacher education experiences in the context of lesson study influence the noticing skill of the participant preservice teacher, Lisa. Results indicated that the lesson study process supported teacher noticing of student mat...
Pre-service science teachers' instructional planning for teaching nature of science: a multiple case study Bilican, Kader; Öztekin, Ceren; Çakıroğlu, Jale (2011-10-30) 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' N...
Preservice science teachers perception of professin with metaphorical images and reasons of choosing teaching as a profession. Güzel Stichert, Elif; Çakıroğlu, Jale; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2005) This study indented to explore preservice elementary and secondary science teacher̕s perception of their professional roles and investigate their reasons of choosing teaching as a profession. To explore the perception of professional roles, metaphorical images were also used as a tool. The present study was conducted during the spring semester of 2004-2005 academic year with a total number of 441 (n=287 females; n=153 males and n=1 gender not provided) senior preservice elementary and secondary science teac...
