This study explains the adaptation of Maryland Physics Expectations Questionnaire (MPEX) developed by Redish et al. (1998) into the Science Expectations Questionnaire (SEQ) investigating pre-service biology, chemistry, and physics teachers' science expectations. Furthermore, this study probes whether pre-service teachers' expectations in science courses are different from each other. The questionnaire was applied to 382 pre-service teachers. The results showed that being in variety departments like biology, chemistry, or physics really did not make difference on students' science expectations. Specifically, our results suggested that the SEQ was applicable to pre-service biology, chemistry, and physics teachers to measure their science expectations.

Pre-service science teachers' use of self-regulation strategies ŞENLER, BURCU; Sungur-Vural, Semra (2014-06-08) 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, m...
Pre-service science teachers perceptions and practices related to history of science instructions Hacıeminoğlu, Esme; Ertepınar, Hamide; Yılmaz Tüzün, Özgül (2012-01-01) The purposes of this study were to describe pre-service science teachers’(PTs) perceptions and practices about using history of science(HOS) in their instructions and their experiences as in-service teachers(ITs) and to determine the relationship between PTs perceptions and practices about using HOS in their classrooms. The HOS Instructional Survey was administered to 68 PTs in two different universities in Turkey. After these students had graduated, some questions were asked about their views about practic...
Pre-Service Physics and Chemistry Teachers' Conceptual Integration of Physics and Chemistry Concepts Tuysuz, Mustafa; BEKTAŞ, Oktay; Geban, Ömer; Öztürk, Gökhan; Yalvac, Bugrahan (2016-06-01) This study examines the pre-service teachers' opinions about conceptual integration (CI) and their understanding of it. A qualitative phenomenology design was used in the study. Data was collected through in-depth semi-structured interviews comprising ten guiding questions. Three pre-service physics and three pre-service chemistry teachers participated conveniently in the study. While the pre-service chemistry teachers took a course regarding the CI explicitly taught, the pre-service physics teachers were n...
Pre-service science teachers‘ self-efficacy in relation to personality traits and academic self-regulation Şenler, Burcu; Sungur, Semra; Department of Elementary Education (2011) The aim of this study was to examine the relationships among pre-service science teachers’ personality, self-regulation, and teaching self-efficacy by proposing and testing a comprehensive conceptual model. In the model, it was hypothesized that personality traits are directly linked to pre-service science teachers’ self-efficacy and academic self-regulation, and pre-service science teachers’ academic self-regulation is directly related to their self-efficacy. A total of 1794 pre-service science teachers (8...
A Multilevel Analysis of Students' Science Achievements in Relation to their Self-Regulation, Epistemological Beliefs, Learning Environment Perceptions, and Teachers' Personal Characteristics Pamuk, Savas; Sungur, Semra; Öztekin, Ceren (2017-12-01) This study adopted a cross-sectional and correlational research design in an attempt to add our understanding of student- and teacher-level factors that help explain variability in students' science achievement to the existing literature. More specifically, the present article examined students' science achievement in relation to their constructivist learning environment perceptions, epistemological beliefs, and self-regulation as well as their science teachers' characteristics. Data were gathered from both...
