This study aims to explore graduate science education students’ views of elementary science teachers’ TPACK competencies by employing a Delphi technique. 9 graduate science education students enrolled in a graduate course participated in the study. In the first round, participants were asked to list the competencies of an elementary science teacher with high level of TPACK and a total of 88 competencies were listed. In the second round, all participants investigated these competencies and eliminated the similar ones. In the third round, the number of competencies was narrowed down to 35 and participants rated them on a 7-point Likert type scale. In the fourth round, participants investigated the interquartile range and median values for those competencies, their own previous ratings and rated the competencies again. At the end, a total of 29 competencies were agreed on by all participants. For agreement criteria interquartile range and median values were used.

Pre-service science teachers' instructional planning for teaching nature of science: a multiple case study Bilican, Kader; Öztekin, Ceren; Çakıroğlu, Jale (2011-10-30) Current study is a multiple case study exploring three pre-service science teachers' pedagogical content knowledge for instructional planning regarding nature of science (NOS) teaching. All pre-service science teachers were taught NOS explicitly and expected to integrate their understanding of nature of science into their lesson plans. The analysis of lesson plans showed that participants still had difficulties in both integrating NOS explicitly and selecting appropriate strategies for assessing students' N...
To What Extent Are Science Teachers Ready to Teach Sustainable Development? A Case Study for Two Experienced Teachers Pedagogical Content Concerns Öztekin, Ceren (2017-05-21) This study aims to examine two in-service middle school teachers’ pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) and pedagogical content concerns (PCC) about sustainable development (SD). Data were collected from semi-structured interviews and they were both deductively and inductively coded and categorized to reach the findings. Findings of the study suggested that teachers had concerns about students’ lack of interest and awareness to SD, teachers’ deficient ...
Mediated Effects of Technology Competencies and Experiences on Relations among Attitudes Towards Technology Use, Technology Ownership, and Self Efficacy about Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge Yerdelen-Damar, Sevda; Boz, Yezdan; Aydin-Gunbatar, Sevgi (2017-08-01) This study examined the relations of preservice science teachers' attitudes towards technology use, technology ownership, technology competencies, and experiences to their self-efficacy beliefs about technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK). The present study also investigated interrelations among preservice teachers' attitudes towards technology use, technology ownership, technology competencies, and experiences. The participants of study were 665 elementary preservice science teachers (467 fema...
Science teachers’ theory and pedagogy of argumentation in science education: design, implementation, and evaluation of a graduate course through educational design research Özdem Yılmaz, Yasemin; Çakıroğlu, Jale; Ertepınar, Hamide; Department of Elementary Education (2014) The current study is an educational design research on the design, implementation and evaluation of a graduate course that is aimed at improving science teachers’ theory and pedagogy of argumentation in science education. It was aimed to describe the educational design process of a graduate course with a reflexive approach. In addition to the design process, the science teachers’ instructional practices in argumentation based lessons were explored in the study. The participants were 1 elementary school scie...
Integrating STEM Education: Perceived barriers and facilitators Taşcı, Duygu; Öztekin, Ceren (null; 2017-05-21) The purpose of this research is to uncover obstacles science teachers face regarding integrating STEM in their science course. Data were mainly gathered from 4 experienced science teachers through in depth interviews. They were also requested to draw a picture of their visualization of STEM and they were asked explain their drawings, data were then analyzed by categorizing barriers avoiding STEM integration. Three categories were emerged as teacher-oriented barriers, students-oriented barriers and situation...
