Abstract

The shortage of science teachers in the United States and throughout the world indicates a collective need to recruit more students into the science teaching field and to retain current science teachers. This study explores the profiles of U.S. science teacher candidates and investigates what attracts and discourages these pre-service teachers into teaching science. Through the use of survey and structured interview approaches we investigated the profiles of pre-service elementary, middle school, and high school teachers (n = 109) who were interested in teaching science. Common findings among this set of science teacher candidates included: positive science experiences with K-12 teachers during childhood, beliefs that certain teacher preparation content courses were roadblocks to becoming certi-fied, unfamiliarity with the employment market for science teachers, and a lack of being recruited to teach science. Based on these profile characteristics of science teacher candidates, teacher educators may pursue specific strategies to encourage more teacher-candidates to select science as their teaching field.

Özet

Amerika Birleşik Devletlerindeki ve tüm dünyadaki fen öğretmenlerinin sayısal azlığı mevcut fen öğretmenlerini tutma ve daha fazla öğrenciyi fen eğitimi alanlarına yönlendirmede kollektif bir ihtiyacı işaret etmektedir. Bu çalışma Amerika Birleşik Devletleri servis öncesi fen öğretmenlerini nelerin cezp ettiğini ve cesaretini kırdığını araştırmaktadır. Tarama ve yapılandırılmış görüşme yaklaşımlarını kullanarak fennin öğretimi ile ilgilenen ilköğretim, ortaöğretim öğretmen adaylarının(n=109) profillerini araştırdık. Bu fen öğretmen adaylarından elde edilen ortak bulgular şunlardır: çocuklukları sürecinde K-12 öğretmenleri ile olumlu fen tecrübeleri, belli öğretmen hazırlık kurs içeriklerinin onaylanmış olmaya engel oluşturması, fen öğretmenleri için iş pazarına yabancılık ve fen öğretimine yabancılık. Fen öğretmen adaylarının bu profil özellikleri temelinde öğretmen eğitimcileri daha fazla öğretmen adayının feni öğretim alanı olarak seçmesi için izleyebilirler.
