The Use of Concept Cartoons on Socioscientific Issues to Promote Teachers’ Dialogic Discussions
This study aimed to examine teachers’ dialogic discussions in applications of concept cartoons on socioscientific issues (SSICCs) and how these discussions developed high school gifted students’ decision-making competences and informal reasoning modes. Through multiple case design, this study viewed three teachers in Science and Art Center (SAC) as the cases. The teachers’ dialogic discussions were analyzed by using the Dialogic Inquiry Tool (DIT…
Advancing students’ NOS understanding
This study examined the effect of history of science (HOS)–based instruction on sixth-grade students' understanding of the nature of science (NOS) through the Reconceptualized Family Resemblance (RFN). RFN conceptualizes NOS across five categories: aims and values, scientific practices, methods and methodological rules, scientific knowledge, and the social–institutional system of science. A mixed-methods Embedded Experimental Model was employed. …
Epistemological beliefs and values as predictors of preservice science teachers' environmental moral reasoning
The purpose of this study was to test predictability of environmental moral reasoning patterns of preservice science teachers (PSTs) by their epistemological beliefs and values. Four environmental moral dilemma scenarios that reflect different environmental moral dilemma situations taking place in four outdoor recreation contexts (i.e., hiking, picnicking, fishing, camping) were used to trigger and examine environmental moral reasoning of PSTs. C…
Knowledge and Risk–Benefit Perception as Predictors of Preservice Science Teachers’ Self-Efficacy Beliefs for Socioscientific Issues–Based Instruction
An evaluation of the environmental literacy of preservice teachers in Turkey through Rasch analysis
The purpose of this study was to make use of proposed definitions of environmental literacy to (1) guide the application of Rasch analysis and (2) utilize the developed instrumentation to further inform the work of environmental educators. A total of 2311 preservice teachers attending Faculty of Education departments of four public universities located in the capital city of Turkey provided data for this study. The instrument used included a know…
Moral reasoning patterns and influential factors in the context of environmental problems
This study investigated pre-service science teachers’ (PSTs’) moral reasoning patterns and the factors underlying these reasoning patterns. Local and non-local environmental dilemmas were used to examine moral reasoning patterns. An explanatory design was used with the collection and analysis of quantitative data, which was subsequently refined using qualitative interview data. For the quantitative part of the study, PSTs were asked to comment on…
Preservice Science Teachers' Informal Reasoning about Socioscientific Issues
The purpose of the current study is to explicitly test the extent to which issue contexts affect the informal reasoning processes engaged in by individuals. In order to address the research question framing this study, we engaged 39 Turkish preservice science teachers (PSTs) in interviews designed to elicit argumentation related to multiple socioscientific scenarios. Three scenarios related to gene therapy, another three related to human cloning,…
