Pre-service mathematics teachers' belief systems
Haser, Çiğdem; Dogan, Oguzhan (2012-01-01)
The influence of mathematics teacher education programme courses on pre-service teachers' mathematics teaching belief systems before their field experience was initially investigated through a Likert-type scale. The impact of a third year general teaching methodologies course was then investigated through the responses pre-service teachers provided in written tasks assigned at the beginning and the end of the year, based on Green's identification of belief systems (Green, T.F. 1971. The activities of teachi...
Pre-service science teachers' instructional planning for teaching nature of science: a multiple case study
Bilican, Kader; Öztekin, Ceren; Çakıroğlu, Jale (2011-10-30)
Current study is a multiple case study exploring three pre-service science teachers' pedagogical content knowledge for instructional planning regarding nature of science (NOS) teaching. All pre-service science teachers were taught NOS explicitly and expected to integrate their understanding of nature of science into their lesson plans. The analysis of lesson plans showed that participants still had difficulties in both integrating NOS explicitly and selecting appropriate strategies for assessing students' N...
Pre-service elementary mathematics teachers’ views about using graphing calculators in elementary school algebra: the case of using Classpad
Kaplan, Merve; Çetinkaya, Bülent; Erbaş, Ayhan Kürşat; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2011)
Mathematics education could and should benefit from technology in order to improve teaching and learning, particularly in topics where visualizations and connections to other concepts are needed. Handheld technologies such as graphing calculators can provide students with visualization, confirmation and exploration of problems and concepts they are learning. Handheld graphing technologies have been taken place widely in elementary and secondary level mathematics courses and considered to be beneficial in va...
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...
Pre-service science teachers informal reasoning in the context of nuclear power
Yılmaz Tüzün, Özgül (2013-04-06)
The purposes of the present study were to investigate the relationships among pre-service science teachers’ informal reasoning on SSI, their epistemological beliefs and metacognitive awareness and to investigate the predictors for their informal reasoning on SSI regarding their epistemological beliefs and metacognitive awareness. A total of 674 pre-service science teachers enrolled in the elementary science education department of Education Faculties of 3 public universities located in the Ankara, the c...
