Demir, Abdulkadir; Abell, Sandra K. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2010
The purpose of this phenomenographic study was to: (a) gain an understanding of the meaning of inquiry held by beginning science teachers and their instructors in an Alternative Teacher Certification Program (ATCP); and (b) compare science teachers' views of inquiry with what they learned in their ATCP. Participants were four beginning science…

Akerson, Valarie L.; Morrison, Judith A.; McDuffie, Amy Roth – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2006
This study examined the views, and the retention of these views, of 19 preservice elementary teachers as they learned about nature of science (NOS). The preservice teachers participated in a cohort group as they took a science methods course during which they received explicit reflective instruction in nature of science. Through Views of Nature of…

Taylor, Joseph A.; Dana, Thomas M. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2003
This article describes an exploratory case study of secondary school physics teachers' conceptions of scientific evidence. The nature of teachers' conceptions of evidence was derived from an analysis of data collected from 1 preservice and 2 in-service teachers. Each teacher responded to a series of research prompts in multiple interviews and…
