Everyday Phenomena and Teachers' Training.
Eskilsson, Olle; Holgersson, Ingemar
European Journal of Teacher Education, v22 n2&3 p231-45 1999
Investigated the ability of Swedish student teachers to explain everyday phenomena in science education, asking all fourth-term student teachers about phenomena where transformations of matter were involved. Analysis of students' written answers indicates that there is a great need in teacher training to work with conceptual understanding and with ways of expressing oneself as a teacher. (SM)
