This study aims to determine the self-efficacy of science teachers regarding their content knowledge. The research was conducted using a multiple case study design. Three science teachers working in public schools were selected through purposive sampling. Personal interviews were used to collect the data for the study. The results showed that science teachers’ self-efficacy in physics, chemistry, biology, astronomy, earth sciences, scientific process skills and science-technology-society-environment (STSE) are different. The area where science teachers are weakest in terms of their content knowledge self-efficacy is STSE. Although sustainable development, socio-scientific issues, science and career awareness sub-dimensions in the STSE have taken place in the curriculum, the teachers were not aware of these dimensions. Based on the results, the researchers recommend that in-service training courses be organised to increase the self-efficacy of science teachers on content knowledge.

A presente pesquisa teve como objetivo elaborar e aplicar uma proposta didática para abordar os conceitos de reação de saponificação, tendo como base o tema gerador “descarte consciente de óleo vegetal”. A proposta didática teve um enfoque Ciência, Tecnologia, Sociedade e Ambiente (CTSA), visto que buscou-se abordar um tema voltado para poluição do meio ambiente provocado pelo descarte inadequado de óleo vegetal de frituras. A pesquisa realizada foi um estudo de caso realizado em uma Escola estadual de Campina Grande – PB. O público-alvo foram estudantes do ciclo VI da Educação de Jovens e Adultos (EJA). A proposta didática foi dividida em etapas, que consistiu na avaliação do perfil da turma, problematização inicial, organização do conhecimento e experimentação. O instrumento de coleta de dados foram três questionários, para avaliar o perfil da turma, uma sondagem a respeito dos conhecimentos prévios dos alunos e verificação da proposta didática aplicada. Como resultado foi possível analisar uma turma composta igualitariamente por jovens e adultos, que na sua maioria tem afinidade pela Química. Porém, esses alunos apresentaram pouco conhecimento acerca do conteúdo abordado devido as limitações de conteúdos vistos anteriormente. Contudo, ao decorrer das etapas foi possível observar o desenvolvimento dos mesmos a partir do envolvimento durante as aulas teórica e experimental. Os questionários aplicados no início e no fim das etapas foram analisados e concluiu-se que a grande maioria conseguiu aprimorar seus conhecimentos satisfatoriamente.   The present research aimed to develop and apply a didactic proposal to address the concepts of saponification reaction, based on the generating theme "conscious disposal of vegetable oil". The didactic proposal had a Science, Technology, Society and Environment (STEM) approach, since it aimed to address an issue related to environmental pollution caused by improper disposal of vegetable frying oil. The research was a case study carried out in a state school in Campina Grande - PB. The target audience were students from cycle VI of the Young and Adult Education (EJA). The didactic proposal was divided into stages, which consisted of the evaluation of the class profile, initial problematization, knowledge organization and experimentation. The data collection instrument was three questionnaires, to evaluate the class profile, a survey of the students' previous knowledge, and verification of the didactic proposal applied. As a result, it was possible to analyze a class composed equally of young people and adults, most of whom have an affinity for chemistry. However, these students had little knowledge about the content addressed due to limitations of content previously seen. However, during the stages it was possible to observe their development from their involvement during the theoretical and experimental classes. The questionnaires applied at the beginning and at the end of the stages were analyzed and it was concluded that most of them managed to improve their knowledge satisfactorily.

Kampung Inggris is a very popular English learning area as there are many English courses with various programs are offered. Mastering System is a pre-service training program at one of the leading courses in Kampung Inggris. They are devoted exclusively to graduates or instructors interested in teaching in formal or non-formal schools. The purpose of this research is to reveal the process of teaching Grammar on Mastering System program. This research is a qualitative research using case study design. Data was collected through interviews, observation, and document analysis. There were a total of 3 teachers and 5 students interviewed. Observations were made to find out how teachers and students perform the learning and teaching process in the Grammar class as well as outside the classroom. Documents used in the form of field notes, transcripts recording interviews, brochures, schedules and subject matter. Document analysis was done by organizing data, coding and reducing, and representing. Based on data analysis, it can be concluded that Grammar teaching process in MS program is carried out in two activities, namely Grammar class and Study Club. In classroom learning, instructors apply the PBL (Problem-Based Learning) method. In Study Club activities, teaching is done in tutorial with the delivery of material using CTL (Communicative Language Teaching). The purpose of Grammar teaching is for MS students to be able to improve Grammar understanding through the cases found in the giving of tutorials to juniors. In addition, MS students can practice firsthand how Grammar's teaching process before going to school. From the results of interviews and observations obtained the conclusion that the involvement of students actively in learning Grammar able to create effective learning.

The aim of this study is to reveal contributions of the differentiated instruction implemented in the primary school 4th grade science course into science literacy levels of the students. The case study method among qualitative research methods were used in the study. The research was carried out in the second term of 2015-2016 academic year. The study group consisted of the 4th grade students (n=23, 9-10 aged) studying in the Kozabirlik Primary State School in Bilecik city center in Turkey. Interviews (teachers and students), observations and student diary forms were administrated as data collection tools in the study. The content analysis method was implemented in the analysis of the obtained data. It was concluded from the findings that the differentiated instruction improved involvements of the students with the science-technology-society and the environment and developed their scientific process skills and thus contributed to the science literacy levels of the students.
