Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the visual images of pre-service teachers who take biology courses in undergraduate education about biology by analyzing their drawings. The research was conducted with 97 pre-service teachers, studying at the education faculty of a university in Turkey and taking biology course during undergraduate training. Science teaching and classroom teaching departments were included in the research. In the study, the data collection tool has been applied based on voluntariness of pre-service teachers. In the first part of the data collection, information about pre-service teachers' department, grade level and gender were collected. In the second part, pre-service teachers were given a blankA4 paper and asked to draw a picture explaining the concept of biology. Pre-service teachers completed their drawings in approximately 20 minutes. Content analysis was used in the analysis of the drawings. Categories and codes were first determined in the analysis of the data. Drawings were coded separately by two researchers. Then, in order to ensure inter-coder reliability, the codes were evaluated together, and a decision was reached. The analysis of pre-service teachers' drawings about biology shows that ecology and ecosystem concepts came to the mind of the majority when biology is mentioned. The general result of the research can be stated as the visual images of pre-service teachers about biology are mostly shaped within the framework of ecology.

Abstract

In this research, the environmental identity of pre-service science teachers and their behaviors towards environmental problems were examined according to gender and grade. In the study, a path diagram is formed by evaluating the relationship between the variables. 215 pre-service science teachers of a university in Turkey, have participated in the study. The Environmental Identity Scale and the Environmental Problems Behaviour Scale were used as data collection tools. In the research, it was found that female students' averages environmental identity score was higher than males’ average score. There was no significant difference between pre-service teachers' environmental identity according to grade. It was found that female students’ average behavior score towards environmental problems was significantly higher than the average score of males. In the study, it was found that the average behavior scores towards environmental problems of the pre-service science teachers who are in the third and fourth grade were significantly higher than the average scores of the first and second-grade students. The research revealed a moderate relationship between pre-service science teachers' environmental identity and their behaviors towards environmental problems. 18% of the change in the behaviors of pre-service teachers towards environmental problems can be explained by their environmental identity
