The aim of this study was to examine a science teacher’s PCK while planning and practicing of force and movement unit. Magnusson, Klajcik, and Borko’s (1999) PCK model was utilized to determine the teacher’s PCK and its components; (1) science teacher orientation (STO), (2) knowledge of curriculum (KoC), (3) knowledge of learner (KoL), (4) knowledge of instructional strategies (KoIS), and (5) knowledge of assessment (KoA). This study also included “a single case study” and the data collection tools included content presentation as lesson plans, semi-structured interviews, and classroom observations. All data were coded Magnusson et al.’s (1999) PCK model deductively and teacher’s interaction maps were constructed both planning and practicing process after data analyzing. According to the data results, the teacher’s PCK differed between planning and practicing process on three ways (1) the number of interactions of components, (2) the role of the components, and (3) complexity of the interactions. Keywords: Planning and practicing, pedagogical content knowledge, interaction PCK components

Perceptions of beginning teachers on pre service teacher preparation in Turkey
Öztürk, Mustafa; Yıldırım, Ali (2014-01-01)
The purpose of this study is to investigate the perceptions of beginning teachers on preservice teacher education. Through a survey, 465 beginning teachers working in randomly selected provinces of Turkey assessed the benefits of their pre-service programs. For data analysis, descriptive and inferential statistics were used. The results of the study indicated that the participant teachers’ perceptions on their pre-service trainings were not positive and that these perceptions changed significantly by the ty...
Variation among schools on classroom practices in science based on TIMSS-1999 in Turkey
Aypay, Ahmet; Erdogan, Mehmet; Soezer, Mehmet A. (Wiley, 2007-12-01)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences among schools using student responses in the Trends in Mathematics and Science Study-1999 (TIMSS-99) data. Schools were classified into two groups based on eighth grade students' overall achievement in science. Two different discriminant function analyses were performed to distinguish high- and low-performing schools, based both on classroom practices and factor structures (student-centered activities, teacher-centered activities, attitudes toward...
Effect of constructed web-supported instruction on achievement related to research methods
Emmungil, Levent; Geban, Ömer; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2004)
This study examined the effect of constructed web-supported instruction on students̕ achievement related to research methods. Also, in this study, constructed web site was tracking the activities of students, namely entrance and exit time, logs of each entrance to the tests as well as the results of each entrance, and posts to the forum. Another intention of the study was to construct a web support system for traditionally offered courses in order to decrease both instructor and students efforts to communic...

Gökalp, Muhammed Sait; Eryılmaz, Ali; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2011)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of WebQuest based instruction on ninth grade students’ achievement in and attitude towards force and motion subject. Force and Motion Achievement Test, Attitude towards “Force and Motion” Scale, Attitude towards the Internet Scale, Observation Checklist, and Out-Class Activities Survey were used as measuring tools. Teacher handouts and WebQuests were prepared as teaching/learning materials for this study. The study was conducted with 226 ninth grade st...
The effect of multiple intelligences based instruction on students physics achievement
Gürçay, Deniz; Eryılmaz, Ali; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2003)
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...
