Kılıç, Aygün
This study aimed to investigate pre-service science teachers’ (PSTs') PCK levels regarding celestial bodies and the relationships between PCK components. The pre-service teachers’ PCK was analyzed in two ways: personal PCK (pPCK) and enacted PCK (ePCK). PSTs' topic-specific pPCK represented their declarative knowledge of PCK regarding celestial bodies, and their topic-specific ePCK represented their enacted competencies in teaching this science topic in the classroom. Pre-service teachers’ pPCK and ePCK were examined through four components: science curriculum, students’ understanding, instructional strategy and method, and assessment. 22 PSTs participated in the study, and data on pre-service teachers’ PCK was collected through interviews, field observation notes, and teaching video records. The study used two rubrics to analyze the data obtained regarding the PSTs' pPCK and ePCK. Accordingly, PSTs' levels of pPCK/components and ePCK/components revealed idiosyncratic and topic-specific differences. Furthermore, their pPCK and ePCK interact and the internal and mutual relationships between pPCK components and ePCK components are topic-specific. This study provides comprehensive and valuable information for teacher education programs by revealing the dynamic interaction between pre-service teachers’ knowledge and actions. It also highlights the need for more teaching experiences from the early years of these programs to improve their classroom practice.

İncele - MakaleAçık Erişim2017Scopus SJRQ4Comparison of critical listening proficiency of teacher candidates in terms of several variables; [Öğretmen adaylarının eleştirel ninleme yeterliklerinin çeşitli değişkenler açısından karşılaştırılması]
Kazu, Hilal; Demiralp, Demet
Purpose: The research has been designed to determine the level of critical listening proficiency of the teacher candidates. It aims at finding answers to the following questions: (1) What is the level of critical listening proficiency of teacher candidates? (2) Do the teacher candidates’ levels of critical listening proficiency indicate a significant difference in terms of gender, department, or university exam score variables? Research Methods: In this research, the relational screening model, one of the general screening models, has been utilised. Through this model, the pre-service teachers’ levels of critical listening proficiency are determined, and these levels are described separately in terms of several variables (such as gender, department, university entrance exam score type). An easily accessible sampling model has been used in sample selection. The sample of the study consists of 672 teacher candidates studying as senior students in their own. The research data were obtained by using the Critical Listening Proficiency Scale, prepared by the researchers. Findings: The findings indicated that the teacher candidates generally have a high level of critical listening proficiency. The teacher candidates in the departments of Turkish and Arts Teaching demonstrated much higher levels of critical listening proficiency in terms of ‘attention-preparation’ proficiency than the others. Furthermore, the teacher candidates with the verbal score type displayed higher levels of critical listening proficiency. Implications for Research and Practice: In the light of the results of this paper, the following recommendations can be given; the students studying in the departments focusing on mathematical skills should include more studies designed to improve critical listening proficiency in their undergraduate education. In pre-service trainings, many strategies and techniques should be included to improve the teacher candidates’ proficiency for “Attention-Preparation” in critical listening. Considering the year the pre-service teachers are studying in, their critical listening abilities can be determined and the contributions of undergraduate education in this respect can be studied.
