Can, Bilge Taskin; Gunhan, Berna Canturk; Erdal, Sevinc Ongel – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science & Technology Education, 2012
In this study, an instrument, Using Mathematics in Science Self-efficacy Scale (UMSSS), was developed in order to determine preservice science teachers' self-efficacy toward the use of mathematics in their lessons. Data gathered from 250 preservice science teachers were used for Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis…
