Investigating Science Student Teachers’ Use of Instructional Technologies

Year 2023, Volume: 8 Issue: 2, 47 - 60, 30.12.2023

Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate science student teachers’ technology preferences and how they value technology in their teaching practices. This study employs the instrumental case study design which is one of the types of case study strategies. The study was carried out with the participation of eight volunteer science student teachers (3 males and 5 females) in the science education department of a state university in the spring term of the 2018-2019 academic year. Data were gathered by observing student teachers’ actual teaching during teaching practice and collecting their documents from reflective journals and lesson plans. Data were analyzed inductively, using thematic analysis. The results showed that science student teachers used some technological tools categorized as instructional hardware, instructional media and instructional software during their teaching practice. The values that participating student teachers attributed to the tools used were two-fold: ‘supporting the teaching process’ and ‘surviving in the classroom environment’. However, the study also showed that the participants mainly used technological tools in their teacher-centered activities.
