Direct linkKinskey, Melanie; Callahan, Brendan E. – Research in Science Education, 2022
Two common reasons elementary preservice teachers have low self-efficacy with science teaching is their lack of content knowledge and past negative experiences with science teaching or learning. Holding low self-efficacy beliefs has negative impacts on both the method of science instruction and amount of science instruction delivered in the…

The technology acceptance model (TAM) is a widely used framework to investigate factors influencing technology use in education. TAM refers to a person's technology-related attitudes and beliefs influencing intention to use and actual use of technology and seeks predictors of behaviors whether to accept or reject using technology. There are…

Menon, Deepika; Azam, Saiqa – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2021
The purpose of this mixed methods research was to investigate the development of 55 preservice elementary teachers' science teaching self-efficacy beliefs through analysis of their reflective practices in a science method course. This year-long study was conducted at two public universities located in the USA and Canada. Within the theoretical…

Thomson, Margareta M.; Huggins, Erin; Carrier, Sarah J.; Gray, DeLeon – International Journal of Science Education, 2022
The current study investigates the developmental trajectories of "novice elementary teachers' self-efficacy science beliefs", "their science instructional beliefs" and "science knowledge" over the course of participants' teacher preparation and into their first two years of teaching. Study results indicate changes in…

Ecevit, Tugba; Kingir, Sevgi – Journal of Turkish Science Education, 2022
Science education plays an important role at primary school level. Primary school teachers are the first to introduce science to students. Teaching-learning conceptions, attitudes and perceived self-efficacy of teachers towards science teaching are influential on pupils' science learning. The aim of this study was to investigate primary student…

Menon, Deepika – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2020
The purpose of this mixed-methods research was to investigate changes in preservice elementary teachers' science teacher identities and self-efficacy beliefs as they participate in a field-based science methods course. A total of 121 preservice teachers participated, four of which were purposefully selected who held varied initial levels of…

Effect of a Science-Based TPACK Program for Elementary Preservice Teachers According to Their Gender
Choi, Youngmi; Hong, Seung-Ho – Contemporary Issues in Technology and Teacher Education (CITE Journal), 2022
The study sought to analyze the effects of the Technology, Pedagogy, and Content Knowledge (TPACK) program on the relationship between preservice elementary school teachers (n = 194) and the variables of their gender. Quantitative data collected during the fall semesters of 2018 and 2019 were statistically analyzed using the Wilcoxon rank sum test…

Kruse, Jerrid; Henning, Joleen; Wilcox, Jesse; Carmen, Katherine; Patel, Neal; Seebach, Colin – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2021
A high self-efficacy in teaching is sometimes used as a kind of litmus test of science teaching practices. However, the connection between self-efficacy and teaching effectiveness is not well established. Therefore, this study sought to investigate the connections between self-efficacy and enacted science teaching of preservice elementary…

Stylos, Georgios; Kamtsios, Spiridon; Kotsis, Konstantinos T. – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2023
International research shows that primary school teachers don't have the necessary level of self-efficacy to provide high quality science learning and teaching opportunities to their students. The aim of the present study is to validate the Science Teaching Efficacy Belief Instrument (STEBI-B) and to investigate the self-efficacy beliefs of 408…

Deehan, James; Danaia, Lena; McKinnon, David H. – Research in Science Education, 2020
The science achievement of primary students, both in Australia and abroad, has been the subject of intensive research in recent decades. Consequently, much research has been conducted to investigate primary science education. Within this literature, there is a striking juxtaposition between tertiary science teaching preparation programs and the…

Menon, Deepika; Sadler, Troy D. – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2016
Self-efficacy beliefs that relate to teachers' motivation and performance have been an important area of concern for preservice teacher education. Research suggests high-quality science coursework has the potential to shape preservice teachers' science self-efficacy beliefs. However, there are few studies examining the relationship between science…
