The beginning years of a teacher's career are among the most challenging and complex. Content-specific induction programmes can help teachers navigate these early years of teaching and build their instructional practices. Although there is growing interest in studying new teachers' reform-based instruction, little is known about new science…

Sezgin Selçuk, Gamze – Asia-Pacific Forum on Science Learning and Teaching, 2015
The purpose of this study is to introduce a problem-based learning (PBL) scenario that elementary school science teachers in middle school (5th-8th grades) can use in their in-service training. The scenario treats the subjects of heat, temperature and thermal expansion within the scope of the 5th and 6th grade science course syllabi and has been…

Ünal, Cezmi; Özdemir, Ömer Faruk – European Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2013
In general, laboratories are exercises with a primary focus on the verification of established laws and principles, or on the discovery of objectively knowable facts. In laboratories, students gather data without comprehending the meaning of their actions. The cognitive demand of laboratory tasks is reduced to a minimal level. To prevent these…

Guerra, Cecília; Moreira, António; Vieira, Rui Marques – Bulgarian Comparative Education Society, 2012
One of the challenges higher education institutions face is to effectively endow science primary teachers with competences on "how", "where", "when" and "whether" to use technological resources (software and hardware) in teaching contexts. Teachers' Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPCK) requires…

Tatar, Erdal; Oktay, Munir – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2011
Background: Problem-based learning (PBL) is a teaching approach working in cooperation with self-learning and involving research to solve real problems. The first law of thermodynamics states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but that energy is conserved. Students had difficulty learning or misconceptions about this law. This study…
