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.

Training Institutions

The training of the science teacher requires both theory and practice. Teaching practice refers to a period of guided teaching during which the teacher-trainee or student-teacher assumes increasing responsibilities for directing the learning of a group of students over a period of some weeks, (about 12 weeks in all). Within this period, the student teacher undergoes a periodical apprenticeship under the guidance of supervisors from the training institutions and the co-operating school harboring the student teacher. In the process they endeavour to marry the theory taught and learnt with practice. The processes help them to acquire the necessary new skills, insights, attitudes and responsibilities which are basic to the teaching career/profession.

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.

AbstractFocusing on Swedish student teachers’ oral presentations in a rhetoric class, this article studies interactional role shift as a multimodal practice. The role shifts under scrutiny concern shifting from student teacher to teacher, thus anticipating the students’ future profession. A central feature of the article is a discussion of how role shift may be conceptualised as a communicative project, thus highlighting the different modes of communication used by the students, and consequently to examine its potential as a facilitator of students’ professional and academic development. The data was collected using an ethnographical approach, resulting in a collection of 21 video-recorded oral presentations, together with other relevant semiotic resources. The data is analysed by the employment of concepts from nexus analysis and the notion of communicative projects. Through a discourse analytical approach to social action in interaction, the analysis shows how role shifts are constructed of patterns of smaller actions that add up to three primary actions: setting the scene, changing perspective, and performing the new role. These primary actions are multimodally chained together, and the results demonstrate how social actors use instructional texts in combination with multimodal recourses in order to perform their role shifts.
