As a review study, the present study was carried out in order to introduce PCK construct to researchers and evaluate which aspects of PCK were studied in our country, and, finally, make recommendations in light of the analysis of the studies for further research. For this purpose, ERIC database, YOK (Higher Education Council) database were searched by using "Pedagogical Content Knowledge" as keyword. Moreover, journals published in Turkey and which are possible to be reached electronically were searched using the same keyword. 28 studies in the science education context were analyzed by means of standards obtained from the related literature. Results showed that large part of the studies were conducted with pre-service teachers as case studies. Moreover, PCK was studied in terms of its components rather than as a whole. In addition to that, participant teachers and pre-service teachers have some shortcomings regarding to PCK, pedagogical knowledge, and subject matter knowledge. Findings will hopefully provide some insight for researchers since shortages of the related literature will be determined by this study.

A Meta-Synthesis Study Identifying the Landscapes of Pre- and In-service Math Teachers' Knowledge in the Turkish Context GULMEZ-DAG, Gulcin; Yıldırım, Ali (2016-01-01) This study aims to present a synthesis of empirical studies conducted in Turkey on pre- and in-service math teachers' knowledge and to recapitulate the existing conceptualization in this particular line of research in the local context. Considering the interwoven and sophisticated nature of teachers' knowledge (Seidel & Shavelson, 2007), it sets out to enhance the understanding on what constitutes and should constitute these math teachers' knowledge by discovering the frequently studied research strands in ...
The nature and development of interaction among components of pedagogical content knowledge in practicum Aydın, Sevgi; Demirdogen, Betul; Akın Çelebi, Fatma; Kondakçı, Esen; Tarkin, Aysegul (2015-02-01) This secondary analysis study focused on how interactions among preservice teachers' pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) components developed throughout a 14-week CoRe-based mentoringenriched practicum course, and the nature of those interactions. Data were collected from three preservice teachers, information-rich cases, by the use of content representation (CoRe) and semi-structured interviews. Content analysis and the constant comparative method were employed in the data analysis. Results revealed that t...
Content analysis of physics education studies published in Turkish Science Education Journal from 2004 to 2011 Önder Çelikkanlı, Nuray; Oktay, Özlem; Eraslan, Funda; Gülçiçek, Çağlar; Göksu, Volkan; Kanlı, Uygar; Eryılmaz, Ali; Güneş, Bilal (2013-04-01) This study investigates research trends in articles about physics education in Journal of Turkish Science Education (TUSED) by using content analysis method. There were 125 studies published between 2004 and 2011, and 46 studies related to physics education have been determined. The research trends in these 46 articles have been examined in terms of demographic properties of authors (gender, institution, number of authors, etc.), general themes and physics topics, research methods, sampling procedures and s...
Investigating pre-service science teachers’ understandings and use of models Yenilmez Türkoğlu, Ayşe; Öztekin, Ceren; Department of Elementary Education (2013) To gain a better understanding of pre-service science teachers’ (PSTs’) views of models, a case study was conducted with fourteen PSTs in a large public university in Ankara. The study aims to provide an answer to the research question, ‘What understandings do PSTs possess about scientific models and the models used in science education?’ and to explore how they use these models in their classroom practices. Data were collected using an open-item instrument, semi-structured interviews, class observations, a...
A Review of Research in Turkey on Beliefs about Teaching Cobanoglu, Rahime (2015-01-01) The primary objective of this study was to portray a synthesis of educational research in Turkey as regards pre-service and in-service teachers' beliefs about teaching. For this end, a comprehensive literature search that was confined to the years between 2000 and 2011 was conducted via electronic databases. This search generated thirty-one research articles that were considered relevant for the scope of the present review. Descriptive analysis of the findings in these studies resulted in four main themes t...
