In the current study, it was aimed to determine common weaknesses and strengths of microteaching of preservice science teachers. For this purpose, the microteachings of 34 preservice science teachers in science methods course were examined with the help of rating scale developed by the researcher. In the analysis, it was found that preservice science teachers had common strengths in microteaching which are concerning using time efficiently, being fair in classroom atmosphere and relationship with students, associating science concepts with real life, and choosing appropriate activities to selected topic and grade level. On the other hand, it was reported that giving unclear directions in lesson, asking ineffective questions and using questioning technique efficiently, and associating loosely nature of science (NOS) with selected topic were the common weaknesses of preservice science teachers in microteaching

The main purpose of this study is to compare the effects of the Multiple Intelligences based instruction versus traditional instruction on ninth grade students' physics achievement. MI inventory, Attitude Scale Toward the Content أCoulomb̕s Lawؤ, Multiple Choice Physics Achievement test on the content أCoulomb̕s Lawؤ, and MI based Physics Achievement rubric were used as measuring tools. The study was conducted with 268 ninth grade public high school students in Sincan district in the spring semester 2002-20...
The effects of multiple representations-based instruction on seventh grade students' algebra performance, attitude towards mathematics, and representation preference.
Çıkla Akkuş, Oylum; Çakıroğlu, Erdinç; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2004)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of multiple representations-based instruction on seventh grade students̕ algebra performance, attitudes toward mathematics, and representation preference compared to the conventional teaching. Moreover, it was aimed to find out how students use multiple representations in algebraic situations and the reasons of preferring certain modes of representations. The study was conducted in four seventh grade classes from two public schools in Ankara in the 20...
The Effect of using metacognitive strategies embedded in explicit reflective nature of science instruction on the development of pre-service science teachers/
Baraz, Aytuğba; Çakıroğlu, Jale; Department of Elementary Science and Mathematics Education (2012)
The current study aimed to investigate the effect of using metacognitive strategies embedded in explicit–reflective NOS instruction to improve NOS understanding of pre-service science teachers. Metacognitive Awareness Inventory (MAI) (Schraw & Dennison, 1994) and Views of Nature of Science Questionnaire (VNOS-C) (Lederman et al., 2001) were used both at the beginning and at the end of the study as a pre-test–post-test, comparison group, quasi-experimental design. A total of 33 pre-service science teachers (...
The role of the argumentation-based laboratory on the development of pre-service chemistry teachers' argumentation skills
Kondakçı, Esen; Sarıcı, Esra; Soysal, Ceren; Kılınç, Selçuk (2021-01-01)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the development of pre-service chemistry teachers' (PCTs') argumentation skills in a laboratory course throughout a semester. A case study design was utilised. A total of six PCTs participated in the study. To investigate the development of PCTs' argumentation skills, the laboratory reports that were in the form of science writing heuristic and pre and post semi-structured interviews were employed. Results showed that PCTs' argumentation skills developed over tim...
The nature of pre-service science teachers' argumentation in inquiry-oriented laboratory context
Özdem, Yasemin; Ertepınar, Hamide; Department of Elementary Science and Mathematics Education (2009)
The purpose of this study is to explore pre-service science teachers’ (PST) argumentation in the context of inquiry-oriented laboratory work. Specifically, this study investigated the kinds of argumentation schemes PSTs use as they perform inquiry-oriented laboratory tasks, and how argumentation schemes generated by PSTs vary by tasks as well as by experimentation and critical discussion sessions. The participants in this study were 35 pre-service elementary teachers, who will teach middle school science fr...
