Teachers Attitudes

There is not a common attitude in a society for socio-scientific issues (SSI) such as whether to use nuclear power plants for energy production. Within this respect, the aim of the research is to examine pre-service science teachers’ and pre-service social studies teachers’ attitudes toward SSI and to reveal their views about setting up nuclear power plants in their country. The participant of research is 120 pre-service teachers. Firstly, Attitudes toward Socio-scientific Issues Scale (ATSIS) was implemented and then, focus group discussions were done with five students from each department separately so as to understand their views about nuclear power plants. Findings revealed that whereas pre-service teachers are eager to learn more about SSI, they have anxiety about it due to religion, moral and ethical perspectives. In addition, whereas both groups of pre-service teachers have some common views about nuclear power plants, pre-service science teachers do not have more positive views about having nuclear power plants in their country. Key words: attitude towards socio-scientific issues, focus group discussion, pre-service teachers, nuclear energy.

Quantitative Descriptive

<em>Laboratory self-efficacy and science process skills are the key variables that need to be measured to show it’s a correlation. These variables will determine their career as a science teacher. Pre-service science teacher must have the skills to explain the natural objects and phenomena holistically and integrative. So that, the aims of this research was to 1) reveals the laboratory self-efficacy of, 2) identify science process skills level of and 3)identify the correlation between laboratory self-efficacy and science process skills of pre-service science teacher under laboratory activities. Quantitative-descriptive, scanning models were used to collect the data. Laboratory self-efficacy scale was developed of level, strength, and generality components. Documentation and observation techniques were used to collect the science process skills data. Bandura’s theory was adopted in self-efficacy Laboratory self-efficacy scale. Mean of laboratory self-efficacy of pre-service science teachers were in moderate level while their science process skills were at a low level. Spearman Rank test showed a significant correlation between these two variables. In the other hand. Regression test showed that laboratory self-efficacy does not significantly determine the pre-service science teacher science process skills’.</em>

The Impact

This article describes a pre-service and in-service science teacher joint professional development pilot project. It is intended to strengthen the community and facilitate professional growth for triad members involved in the professional development of pre-service science teachers. Through a summer workshop and follow-up monthly meetings, this project connected the clinical experiences of the pre-service teachers with the joint professional development of both the pre- and in-service teachers. A mixed-methods research design was used to investigate the impact of this project. Results indicated that this model was successful in aligning with characteristics of effective professional development derived from national standards documents and professional development literature. Additionally, through engaging pre- and in-service teachers in the co-creation of modules, which were subsequently enacted in classrooms, collaborative positioning occurred whereby the pre- and in-service teachers were found more equally sharing and co-negotiating responsibilities in the classroom. This article describes the need for this project and provides an in-depth description of each component of the project enacted, as well as additional findings supportive of its effectiveness.
