New Experimental Searches in Chemistry Education: An In-depth Look Centering on the Reflective Diaries of the Pre-service Teachers

15373

The aim of this study is to determine the opinions of chemistry pre-service teachers about the development of their professional competences in their micro-reflective teaching processes through their reflective diaries. In this research, we adopted case study that is a type of qualitative research design. Accordingly, we focused on the following issues: In what fields do pre-service teachers encounter problems during their micro-reflective teaching experiences? How do they try to solve said problems? How to they try to improve themselves? Participants of the study consist of six volunteer chemistry pre-service teachers. In the application stage, each pre-service teacher instructed the selected chemistry subjects for 4 weeks. We used the reflective journals on which pre-service teachers reflected their opinions concerning the courses they have instructed as the data collection tool. As a result of the content analysis we clarified that the pre-service teachers focused mostly on the categories of subject content knowledge competence, pedagogical knowledge competence and effect of feedbacks.
