The aim of this study was to investigate the interactions of a science teacher’s Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) components. To attain the aim of this study, two PCK frameworks were used as analytic and conceptual framework. Firstly, Magnusson, Klajcik, and Borko’s (1999) PCK model was utilized to determine the participant teacher’s PCK and its components. Secondly, Park and Chen’s (2012) PCK mapping approach was used to construct interaction maps. This study included a case study with a science teacher who taught 7th grade simple machine topics to gifted students. Moreover, the data were collected with semi-structured interviews and observations. After data analyzing, an alternative interaction mapping approach was constructed by using the teacher’s interactions of PCK components. The teacher utilized a similar teaching pattern during the teaching of the simple machines and sub-topics. the teacher used both basic interactions such as KoIS-KoA, KoL-KoIS, and complex interactions such as (KoL-KoC-KoIS). Keywords: Interaction mapping approach, pedagogical content knowledge, science teacher, simple machines

Examination of topic-specific nature of pedagogical content knowledge: a case of science teacher of gifted students /
Çaylak, Burak; Çakıroğlu, Jale; Department of Elementary Education (2017)
The aims of this study were to investigate the topic-specific pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) of a science teacher working with gifted students, and to investigate the interaction of the teacher’s PCK components. Single case study methodology in qualitative nature was utilized, and the case was comprised of a middle school science teacher who worked in a private school including 7th grade gifted students. Three physics topics; work and energy, simple machines, and friction force were selected to gain ri...
Exploring the Development of Preservice Science Teachers' Views on the Nature of Science in Inquiry-Based Laboratory Instruction
Ozgelen, Sinan; Yılmaz Tüzün, Özgül; HANUSCIN, Deborah L. (2013-08-01)
The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of the inquiry-based and explicit-reflective laboratory instruction on preservice science teachers' (PSTs) conceptions of the nature of science (NOS) aspects. This study was carried out during the Laboratory Application in Science II course. All 52 preservice elementary science teachers enrolled in the course consented to participate in the study; 37 were female and 15 were male, with a mean age of 22.8 years. All had the same science major background, and...
Exploring representation of nature of science aspects in 9th grade chemistry textbooks
Esmer, Feyza; Geban, Ömer; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2011)
The aim of this study was to examine the representation of Nature of Science (NOS) aspects in 9th grade chemistry textbooks. Two textbooks nation-wide used are analyzed, one of them is written in Turkish the other in English. These textbooks were written according to 2008-2009 education program’s curriculum. A qualitative oriented approach was employed and ethnographic content analysis was used as the methodological framework for this research as Irez (2006) has performed. Data were analyzed by means of boo...
Scientific epistemological beliefs, perceptions of constructivist learning environment and attitude towards science as determinants of students approaches to learning
Özkal, Kudret; Öztekin, Ceren; Department of Elementary Science and Mathematics Education (2007)
The purpose of this study was to investigate scientific epistemological beliefs, perceptions of constructivist learning environment, attitude towards science, prior knowledge and gender as determinants of students’ approaches to learning. This study was carried out in 2005-2006 Spring Semester. One thousand, one hundred and fifty two eighth grade students from seven public schools in Çankaya, a district of Ankara participated in this study. Epistemological Beliefs Questionnaire, Constructivist Learning Envi...
Examination of interaction between pre-service chemistry teachers’ pedagogical content knowledge and content knowledge in electrochemistry
Kutucu, Elif Selcan; Boz, Yezdan; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2016)
The purpose of this study was to examine the interaction between pre-service chemistry teachers’ pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) and content knowledge (CK) while teaching electrochemistry. Two pre-service chemistry teachers enrolled in practice teaching course in chemistry education program. All PCK components were studied in the current study to examine participants’ PCK. In order to get detailed information and understand deeply the interaction between CK and PCK, qualitative methodology was used and ...
