Analysis of Adaptive Practice in Pre-service Physics Teachers’ Teaching Practicum Classes; 예비물리교사의 교육실습 수업에서 나타난 적응적 실행 분석

초록

This study aimed to analyze the characteristics of pre-service physics teachers’ adaptive practices. For this purpose, we analyzed teaching and learning process plans, video recordings, field observation notes of 10 classes conducted by 7 pre-service teachers during their teaching practicum and interviews. We found a total of 24 adaptive practice cases. The main research results were as follows. First, the most frequent adaptive practices were ‘coordination of learning activities’, ‘omission of activities or materials’, ‘adjustment of concept level and scope’, and ‘addition of materials, examples, demonstrations, etc.’. Second, ‘coordination of learning activities’ and ‘omission of activities or materials’ are types that do not appear often among science teachers, but are often seen among pre-service teachers due to the lack of opportunities for pre-service teachers to practice classes. Third, pre-service teachers could hardly use adaptive practices commonly used by science teachers, such as ‘adding demonstrations’, ‘helping with numeracy/literacy’, ‘encouraging learner participation’, and ‘using analogies or metaphors’. Based on the results, implications for pre-service teacher education were discussed. © 2024 Korean Physical Society. All rights reserved.
