The aim of the research was to explore the ideas prospective science teachers (N=51) had about the variables of object size, shape and light transmission that have an impact on shadow formation, using a scientific activity based on Inquiry-Based Science Education (IBSE). In this qualitative study, the measurement tool comprises 3 questions. The first question examines how the participants define the concept of shadow while the second question focuses on the variables of the size of the object, its shape, and its light transmission. The participants were asked to explain whether these variables would produce a shadow. The last question was devised in the atmosphere of an activities laboratory in which the absorption and reflection properties of light were explored. The NVi10 program was utilized for data analysis. At the end of the research, it was observed that the prospective teachers were not able to define the concept of the shadow in scientific terms and even if they knew the basic variables related to shadow formation, they could not exactly explain new situations when the variables were manipulated. Key words: inquiry, prospective science teachers, qualitative data, shadow science, variables.

Prospective Science Teachers

Prospective teacher education is faced with the issue of integrating technological pedagogical and content knowledge (TPACK). Prospective teachers are expected to become teachers who are skilled at teaching effectively, mastering content, and are able to utilize technology in the learning process. The ability of TPACK for prospective science teacher can be seen from the preparation of a lesson plan, because there are elements of pedagogy, content, and technology in it, and it is seen from the suitability of the lesson plans with the implementation of learning by teachers in the classroom. Moreover, in implementing science learning, students must apply a scientific attitude to support learning so that students not only understand the theory but also master real concepts. The purpose of this study was to analyze the skills of prospective science teachers to apply TPACK in preparing lesson plans so that the weaknesses and strengths could be identified. The research method used is library research, by examining several sources related to the skills of prospective science teachers in implementing TPACK through the preparation of the lesson plan. The results of the research showed that some prospective science teachers still lacked skills in using integrated technology in the preparation of lesson plans, and the implementation of learning was not optimal so that it became a big challenge that science teachers had to face in the industrial revolution 4.0. Implementing TPACK in the preparation of the lesson plan can improve the quality of learning. The advantages produced can be seen from the effectiveness of the learning process provided through the use of technology in learning.
