This study tried to examine performance of a chemistry teacher within the context of the special area competencies of chemistry teachers. The method proposed to evaluate the performance of the chemistry teacher consists of three steps. In the first step, the special area competencies of the chemistry teacher were converted into the model estimated by the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) technique. In the second step, the consistency of the local weights of the competencies and pairwise comparisons in the AHP model were determined. In the final, the performance of the chemistry teacher was determined by self-evaluation on the basis of these competencies. Among the competency areas, the relative importance of knowledge in the area of chemistry was found to be higher than that of chemistry literacy. Another finding was that, on the basis of special area competencies, performances of chemistry teachers can be evaluated more objectively with a self-evaluation approach using the AHP technique.

Exploring representation of nature of science aspects in 9th grade chemistry textbooks Esmer, Feyza; Geban, Ömer; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2011) The aim of this study was to examine the representation of Nature of Science (NOS) aspects in 9th grade chemistry textbooks. Two textbooks nation-wide used are analyzed, one of them is written in Turkish the other in English. These textbooks were written according to 2008-2009 education program’s curriculum. A qualitative oriented approach was employed and ethnographic content analysis was used as the methodological framework for this research as Irez (2006) has performed. Data were analyzed by means of boo...
Using the science writing heuristic approach to promote student understanding in chemical changes and mixtures Kıngır, Sevgi; Geban, Ömer; Günel, Murat; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2011) The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of Science Writing Heuristic (SWH) approach on 9th grade students’ understanding of chemistry concepts and chemistry achievement in chemical changes and mixtures units. Four 9th grade classes taught by the two chemistry teachers from a public high school were selected for the study. Each teacher’s one intact class was assigned as the experimental group and the other class was assigned as the control group. Students in the experimental group were...
The Nature of interplay among components of pedagogical content knowledge in reaction rate and chemical equilibrium topics of novice and experienced chemistry teachers Akın, Fatma Nur; Kondakçı, Esen; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2017) In this qualitative multiple-case design study, I examined the interactions among pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) components of novice and experienced chemistry teachers in teaching reaction rate and chemical equilibrium topics. For this aim, three chemistry teachers who had different levels of teaching experience in chemistry teaching were selected through a process of purposeful sampling. Data were collected through card-sorting task, Content Representation (CoRe) tool, semi-structured interviews, obs...
Examination of the topic-specific nature of pedagogical content knowledge in teaching electrochemical cells and nuclear reactions Aydın, Sevgi; Friedrichsen, Patricia M.; Boz, Yezdan; Hanuscin, Deborah L. (Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2014-01-01) The purpose of this study was to examine experienced chemistry teachers' pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) for two different topics in chemistry to better understand how PCK is specific to topic, including whether all components of PCK are topic-specific and to what degree. To explore the topic-specific nature of PCK, we examined two experienced teachers' PCK using a case study methodology. Multiple data collection strategies were used, including a card-sorting activity, Content Representation (CoRe), sem...
Examination of interaction between pre-service chemistry teachers’ pedagogical content knowledge and content knowledge in electrochemistry Kutucu, Elif Selcan; Boz, Yezdan; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2016) The purpose of this study was to examine the interaction between pre-service chemistry teachers’ pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) and content knowledge (CK) while teaching electrochemistry. Two pre-service chemistry teachers enrolled in practice teaching course in chemistry education program. All PCK components were studied in the current study to examine participants’ PCK. In order to get detailed information and understand deeply the interaction between CK and PCK, qualitative methodology was used and ...
