Investigation of preservice science teachers’ nature of science understanding and decision making on socioscientific issue through the fractal model
Adal, Elif Ece; Çakıroğlu, Jale; Department of Elementary Education (2019)
This is a qualitative grounded theory study to reveal how decision making (DM) processes on socioscientific issue (SSI) in a referendum case are operated by unsophisticated (Group U) and sophisticated (Group S) ones in terms of nature of science (NOS) understandings. Firstly, pre-study was conducted with focus group interviews with pre-service science teachers. With the findings, semi-structured in-depth interviews of main study for DM on SSI- the artificial meat was developed. In main study, 12 participant...
Investigation of Preservice Science Teachers' Nature of Science Understanding and Decision Making on Socioscientific Issue through the Fractal Model
Adal, Elif Ece; Çakıroğlu, Jale (2022-01-01)
The paper reports a qualitative study to reveal how preservice science teachers' decision making (DM) processes on socioscientific issue (SSI) in a referendum case compare between unsophisticated (Group U) and sophisticated (Group S) views in terms of nature of science (NOS) understandings. Firstly, pre-study was conducted with focus group interviews with pre-service science teachers. With the findings, one-on-one semi-structured in-depth interviews of the main study for DM on SSI, the artificial meat was d...
Investigation of pre-service elementary mathematics teachers’ self-efficacy beliefs about using concrete models in teaching mathematics
Pişkin, Mutlu; Çakıroğlu, Erdinç; Bulut, Safure; Department of Educational Sciences (2010)
The main purpose of the study was to investigate pre-service elementary mathematics teachers’ personal efficacy beliefs and outcome expectancies about using concrete models in teaching mathematics. Data were collected from the pre-service teachers in the middle of the spring semester of 2008-2009. Pre-service teachers were junior students enrolled in elementary mathematics teaching program at a public university. Six instructional sessions based on using concrete models in teaching mathematics were carried ...
Investigation of pre-service science teacher’s beliefs regarding the nature of environmental knowledge
Adıbelli, Elif; Yılmaz Tüzün, Özgül (null; 2010-03-21)
This study is an investigation of prospective science teachers (PSTs)’ epistemological beliefs regarding the dimensions of source, certainty and structure of knowledge in the domain of environment and whether environmental epistemological beliefs in these dimensions differ across knowledge in the domains of physics, chemistry, biology and mathematics. The participants of the study consisted of 17 PSTs. The instrument used for assessment of PSTs’ epistemological beliefs regarding knowledge was a semistruc...
Investigation of Pre-service Teachers’ Reasoning Abilities and Learning Approaches in Inquiry Based Learning Environment
Özgelen, Sinan; Hacıeminoğlu, Esma; Yılmaz Tüzün, Özgül (2008-03-30)
The purposes of this study were to investigate the effect of inquiry based science laboratory course on pre-service teachers’ (PTs) reasoning abilities and learning approaches, the relationship between PTs’ learning approaches andreasoning abilities, and how well do the learning approach and reasoning ability predict PTs’ achievement. The sample of this study consisted of 83 pre-service elementary science PTs and elementary mathematics PTs, minoring in science education. Data were collected from Science L...
