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 practicing integrating the HOS in their instruction to the 19 ITs who started to work in schools. Findings revealed that PTs had favorable level of perceptions and practices about using HOS in their classrooms. Furthermore, PTs’ perceptions are highly correlated with their practices about using HOS in their classrooms. Interview results revealed that after PTs become ITs, in their teaching practices of history of science they emphasized mostly conceptual understanding and the least emphasis given to contextual understanding.

Pre-service and in-service preschool teachers' views regarding creativity in early childhood education Alkuş, Simge; Olgan, Refika (2014-01-01) This research investigated the views of pre-service and in-service preschool teachers concerning the developing of children's creativity in early childhood education by determining the similarities and/or differences among their views. The data were gathered from 10 pre-service and 11 in-service teachers through focus group meetings, and then from the participants' views four basic themes were constituted consisting of their opinions on ‘creativity’, ‘creative people’, ‘importance of creativity in early chi...
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...
In-service and Pre-service Science Teachers’ Views regarding Conceptual Integration of Physics, Chemistry, and Biology Disciplines TÜYSÜZ, MUSTAFA; Öztürk, Gökhan; Geban, Ömer; BEKTAŞ, OKTAY (2018-06-01) The purpose of the study was to understand knowledge and opinions of in-service (ISTs) and preservice science teachers (PSTs) regarding the conceptual integration (CI). The research design of this study was phenomenology as a type of qualitative research methods. Purposive sampling methodology was chosen for this study. A sample of the study consisted of ten ISTs and 40 PSTs. Twostage open-ended questions were utilized as the primary data source to evaluate ISTs’ and PSTs’ subject matter knowledge in terms ...
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’ discrimination level of science and pseudoscience Şahin, Elvan (2018-12-01) This quantitative study aimed to examine Turkish pre-service science teachers’ beliefs regarding the demarcating between science and pseudoscience. Participants completed the Science and Pseudoscience Distinction Scale. Data collected from the 123 pre-service science teachers were examined based on the dimensions of the instrument, namely science as a process of inquiry (SCI), demarcating between science and pseudoscience, and pseudoscientific beliefs (PS). This study found that these pre-service science...
