Investigating Senior Science Student Teachers’ Dialogues Undertaken on Technology Embedded Scientific Inquiry Web-Site

13696

The aim of this study is to investigate senior science student teachers’ dialogues undertaken on Technology Embedded Scientific Inquiry (TESI) Web-site. The sample consisted of 117 senior science student teacher enrolled in Department of Science Education, Fatih Faculty of Education, KTU. To conduct research project and adapt innovative technologies into “Teaching Practice” course, 32 self-created groups appeared. Dialogues in the TESI web-site were thematically analyzed in regard to similarities and differences and presented with simple statistical methods (frequency and percentage). At the same time, to identify competency level and quality of dialogues, Online Discourse Evaluation Rubric developed by Liang, Ebenezer and Yost (2010) was employed. It can be deduced that the senior science student teachers had deficiency using effectively the TESI web-site due to two principal reasons: (a) their first-time experiences concerning communication with peers and experts on the TESI web-site, and (b) the implementation procedure falling into their senior year. To eliminate these pitfalls, it is recommended that similar implementation procedure be undertaken in earlier years of the undergraduate level.
