The aim of this study was twofold: first, to examine the relationship between use of self-regulation strategies and academic performance; and second, to analyze gender differences in use of self-regulation strategies. For the specified purposes, 1794 senior pre-service science teachers (876 males, 905 females, and 13 no response) participated in the study. Results showed that GPA was significantly but not strongly associated with task value, metacognitive self-regulation, effort regulation, peer learning, mastery approach, performance approach, and mastery avoidance. It was also found that pre-service science teachers' scores of task value, metacognitive self-regulation, effort regulation, mastery approach, and mastery avoidance differ in terms of their gender.

Cebesoy, Umran Betul; Öztekin, Ceren (2011-10-30)
The aim of this study is to determine pre-service science teachers' genetic literacy level and their attitude towards genetics. The Genetics Literacy Assessment Instrument (GLAI; Bowling et al., 2008) and the Genetics Attitude Scale (see Acra, 2003) were used to collect relevant data. Pre-service science teachers held quite favorable attitude towards genetics (M=3.75) while they had a relatively low level of genetic literacy (M=15.39). Their knowledge levels with respect to dimensions of the GLAI varied. Fo...
