PROSPECTIVE CHEMISTRY TEACHERS’ EVALUATION OF SCIENCE WRITING HEURISTIC APPROACH AND ITS APPLICATIONS

45870

Teachers are required to design applications in which they make their students active and in which they lead their students acting as guides and to put them into force in contemporary conception of education. For this reason, it is important for prospective teachers to gain experience in such applications during their undergraduate education. This study aims to evaluate prospective chemistry teachers’ views on the applications they make by designing activities and experiments using guided inquiry-based science writing heuristic approach (GIBSWHA). The study was conducted with the participation of final year students attending the Chemistry Education Department of a public university. The form for obtaining views was used in collecting the data. The qualitative data concerning the prospective chemistry teachers’ views were put to content analysis. The data obtained were examined under the themes of “preparation for the process of GIBSWHA applications”, “evaluation of the process of GIBSWHA applications and experience with GIBSWHA applications and evaluating the outcome of the process”.
