The purpose of this study was to determine the preservice science teachers‘ (PSTs) metacognitive processes by using metacognitive prompts in a science laboratory course. The data were obtained through PSTs‘ laboratory reports which contains metacognitive prompts and PSTs‘ models developed based on their observations and inferences. PSTs were formed 8 groups each included 3 to 4 students and two groups were randomly selected for the analysis of this study. The data were analyzed through qualitative methods. It was found PSTs, who activated their procedural knowledge, constructed effective models which enabled them to carry out necessary investigations during the laboratory activities.

Use of self-determination theory to support basic psychological needs of preservice science teachers in an environmental science course Karaarslan, Guliz; Ertepinar, Hamide; Sungur, Semra (2013-06-01) In this paper, we examine how the basic psychological needs of preservice science teachers (PSTs) were supported in a series of environmental science course activities informed by self-determination theory (SDT). We collected qualitative data about the PSTs' sense of competence, autonomy, and relatedness through interviews, group discussions, assignments, and reflection papers. Data were analyzed in relation to the instructional design features of the course; namely, collective construction of ideas, studen...
