Sammendrag av avhandlingen:
In my doctoral project, I explored how seven pre-service teachers (PSTs) taught science in grade 6-10 during teacher education school practica. I focused on how they developed and used pedagogical content knowledge (PCK). By analyzing videos of their science lessons, I found their instruction to be student-centered, focusing on students’ prior knowledge and classroom discourse. However, the PSTs struggled to communicate science with clarity, and inquiry teaching was almost absent. Prompted by videos from their own teaching, PSTs reconstructed their thinking from situations in class. Based on these interviews, I discovered that the PSTs relied on nuanced knowledge about students to apply suitable instructional strategies. One source of such knowledge was personal learning experiences, which should be appreciated by teacher educators. Teacher education courses combining science and pedagogy impacted classroom teaching. PSTs should be given opportunities to teach topics learnt in such courses in school practica.
