In this mixed method research study, convergent parallel design was utilized. Quantitative part of this study was based upon one group pretest-posttest design. Qualitative part of this study was based upon holistic case study. The sample of the study consisted of 26 3rd year science teacher candidates in A State University Education Faculty Science Education Department in the spring term of 2013-2014 academic years. The data collection tools were environmental education self-efficacy beliefs scale developed by Ozdemir, Aydın and Vural (2009) and drawings drawn by science teacher candidates to determine their perspectives on environmental problems. The experimental study took 7 weeks (21 hours). The first week involved the acquaintance with the students and briefing them about the study. Also, in this week, an educational plan related to the argumentation implementation was prepared and applied. And this week finally, scales were administered as pretest. The study started in the second week. The study took five weeks as three hours a week. Last week scales were administered as posttest. In quantitative data analysis paired samples t-test was used. For the analysis of qualitative data, categorical analysis technique, one of the content analysis techniques, was used. At the end of the study, it was observed that the science teacher candidates’ self-efficacy beliefs according to environmental education statistically differed in favor of the post-test. In addition, it was also found that, at the end of the study, science teacher candidates' perceptions of environmental problems differed according to their self-efficacy beliefs.

The main values perception of biology teacher candidates was examined, as well as the effects of those values on self-efficacy perception. Research was conducted on a heterogeneous group of 162 biology teacher candidates (44 males and 118 females) studying at the Faculty of Education, Selçuk University, Konya, Turkey. The Teacher Self-Efficiency Scale developed on the basis of Bandura's theory by Schwarzer, Schmitz, and Daytner (1999) was modified and applied in this research in order to measure the self-efficacy perception of teachers. Findings demonstrate that teachers' values significantly predict their professional self-efficacy levels.

Academic Self Efficacy

The aim of this study was to investigate the academic self-efficacy perceptions of primary school mathematics teacher candidates according to different variables. For this purpose, the “Academic Self-Efficacy Scale”, which was developed by Jerusalem and Schwarz (1981) to measure the academic self-efficacy beliefs of mathematics teacher candidates, which was adapted to Turkish by Yılmaz, Gürçay and Ekici (2007) and validated by the reliability and validity scale, were used as data collection tools. The study was conducted in the fall semester of 2017-2018 academic year. The sample of the study consists of 157 teacher candidates studying at the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th years of the Elementary Mathematics Teaching Program of the Faculty of Education at a state university. Independent sample t-test and ANOVA were used for the analysis of collected information. As a results of data analysis, student’s academic self efficacy perceptions were found generally high. In addition, it was concluded that the mean scores of academic self-efficacy perceptions of mathematics teachers did not show a statistically significant difference according to their gender and grade level, but there was a significant difference between the age, whether they willingly chose what they are studying or not and mathematics achievement groups.

This study aimed to determine teacher candidates’ perception about ‘chemistry’ through metaphors. In this study, 60 teacher candidates training at different programmes of Hacettepe University, Faculty of Education, participated. The metaphors of teacher candidates about chemistry were collected through a diagram prepared according to the Lotus Flower Technique. After the 3,754 metaphors were defined and 8 imaginary categories to represent these metaphors were developed, the number of metaphors and its percentage were calculated for each category. As a result, it appears that, the images of the teacher candidates regarding the metaphorical perceptions of the chemistry of daily life and general chemistry are significantly different from each other. Metaphors are able to change conceptual systems and the perspectives of individuals towards the world. Therefore, this study catered to the introduction of metaphorical images, which bring new perspectives to teacher candidates about the chemistry of daily life.   Keywords: Lotus flower, model, metaphors, daily life, chemistry.
