Strat, Tonje Tomine Seland; Jegstad, Kirsti Marie – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2023
Inquiry-based science education (IBSE) has been a key element in science education for the past decade and should therefore be a key element of pre-service teacher (PST) education as well. This study aims to explore how IBSE is implemented in teacher education for primary and lower secondary levels (years 1-10) to prepare PSTs for their…

Saeleset, Johannes; Friedrichsen, Patricia – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2022
Specialized science courses (SSCs) integrate content knowledge (CK) with pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) and prepare pre-service teachers (PSTs) for reform-oriented teaching. Studies of individual SSCs report positive short-term outcomes, including an increase in self-efficacy and CK. However, few studies explore the longer-term impact of SSCs…

Nordine, Jeffrey; Sorge, Stefan; Delen, Ibrahim; Evans, Robert; Juuti, Kalle; Lavonen, Jari; Nilsson, Pernilla; Ropohl, Mathias; Stadler, Matthias – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2021
Recent research and reform efforts in science education have consistently stressed the importance of coherent science instruction, in which learning opportunities are connected and contextualized by meaningful phenomena, focus on a small set of core ideas over time, and generate a need-to-know about new ideas through a set of connected lessons.…

Remmen, Kari Beate; Jegstad, Kirsti Marie; Höper, Jan – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2021
Research has called for greater emphasis on outdoor science activities in preservice teacher education. Therefore, in this study, preservice teachers reflect on an outdoor chemistry unit that aimed to model outdoor science activities to be conducted in local settings within short time frames. Data from the preservice teachers' reflections were…

Palmberg, Irmeli; Hermans, Mikaela; Jeronen, Eila; Kärkkäinen, Sirpa; Persson, Christel; Yli-Panula, Eija – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2018
People's knowledge about nature, their interest in nature, their nature experiences, and their values and emotions regarding nature are factors that promote people's positive views on environmental issues and sustainability. Knowing the variation and patterns in teachers' and student teachers' views is an essential step in considering the ways in…

Juhler, Martin Vogt – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2016
Recent research, both internationally and in Norway, has clearly expressed concerns about missing connections between subject-matter knowledge, pedagogical competence and real-life practice in schools. This study addresses this problem within the domain of field practice in teacher education, studying pre-service teachers' planning of a Physics…
