The Subject

The aim of this study was to examine the preparation of science student teachers before teaching in English, and to determine their self-efficacy in teaching in English. Data were collected using the triangulation method, through questionnaires, interviews, and documentation studies on student teacher practicum portfolios. This was a descriptive qualitative study and data were analyzed using the interactive analysis method of Miles and Huberman (1984) which has three components of analysis, namely data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions or verification. The results showed that there were 6 preparations made by science student teachers before teaching in English: 1) determine the topic of the material being taught and look for the material; 2) study the subject matter in depth; 3) compile lesson plans in English; 4) prepare tools and materials for teaching including handouts, props, demonstrations, and science practicum; 5) search for common terminology in science related to the topic being taught; 6) practice teaching science in English, namely doing teaching exercises in English. The results also showed that the science student teachers’ level of self-efficacy in teaching science in English varied from low to high: 45.8% had high self-efficacy levels; 39.5% had moderate levels; and 9.0% had low self-efficacy. Keywords: self-efficacy, science student teacher, teaching preparation, readiness

The rapid increase in the use of Web 2.0 technologies has led to changes in school curricula because they are a powerful tool for developing innovative ways of teaching and learning. These technologies have also changed how teacher education programmes prepare pre-service teachers. Thus, as a predictor, pre-service teachers’ self-efficacy is important for the development of their computer skills. A descriptive research design was employed. The data were collected using a Web 2.0 technologies educational usage scale and a computer-related self-efficacy perception scale. The sample of the study involved 146 (F: 70, M: 76) student teachers in a teacher education course at Ziya Gökalp Education Faculty of Dicle University during the 2011-2012 academic year. The data were analysed using means, t-tests, and one-way ANOVAs. The study revealed that student teachers used Facebook the most frequently to communicate, access class material, hold discussions and form academic groups. Student teachers with Internet access at home used Web2.0 technologies more frequently than those without Internet access at home. The frequent use of Web 2.0 by student teachers provides teachers with the possibility for more student-centred learning activities in the classroom. Key words: science student teachers, teacher education, Web 2.0 technologies.

The effective use of an interactive whiteboard (IWB) in teacher-education institutions depends strongly on student teachers’ intention of using it. Despite the recent surge in published research on the widespread applications for IWB in teaching and learning, few have developed a model to elucidate the elements which contribute to student teachers’ intention to use IWB. The aim of this study was to develop a model which demonstrates the variables that affect student teachers’ intentions and which also explain their interactions. The proposed IWB intention to use research model is based on prominent educational technology acceptance theories and models. Five variables (technology self-efficacy, performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, and intention to use) were selected to build a model for this study. Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) was used for this study to identify the predictors and the model fit. The proposed model has accounted for 47.6% of the variance in the intention to use IWB.

New Information

Forty first-year primary school student teachers at a Teacher Training College in Masvingo Province, Zimbabwe, participated in an action research study, employing the science student portfolio, during February to July, 2008 . They used the portfolio to record their prior knowledge about the lesson topic, new information learnt during the lesson, and how the new information related to their prior knowledge. Comments on lessons, monthly tests and assignment scores, reflections and a page-long conclusion were also recorded in the portfolio. The monthly test scores improved as the study progressed. Interviews revealed that alternative conceptions emanated from teachers, peers, textbooks, and the failure of students to understand teachers’ explanations. Students’ and administration’s comments revealed stakeholders’ satisfaction with the portfolio’s effectiveness.
