Abstract

In this present study, it was aimed to investigate the effect of teaching practices with real life content in light and sound learning areas. With this purpose, it was intended to determine the contribution of teaching practices with real life content (TPRLC) to the levels of pre-service teachers' skills to associate the light and sound learning areas with daily life. The research was designed with an experimental basis and data were collected with the pre-test, post-test pattern. The participants consisted of 30 university students who were in fourth grade in Secondary School Science Teacher Training Department. Data were collected with questionnaires including open-ended questions related to the Use of Learning Areas in Daily Life. With the results, it was found out that the levels of pre-service teachers in associating the learning areas with daily life doubled in light learning areas and trebled in sound learning areas.

Summary

Introduction

Science is the regular observation of all the events occur in the nature; try to describe them within the frame of a definite necessary knowledge and logic [1]. In a study carried out by Reference [42] it was determined that the pre-service secondary school Science and Physics teachers had deficient knowledge related to the sound and had misconceptions related to this topic. In the study carried out by Reference [39] with 56 pre-service secondary school science teachers, it was determined that had difficulties in understanding this important topic. The carried researches demonstrate that the teachers have knowledge deficiencies related to the problems with real life content and the practices in the lessons are random [25] and the teachers have difficulties in applying the teaching practices with real life content on exercises [24]. It was aimed to investigate the effect of teaching practices with real life content in light and sound learning areas. It was tried to find out the contribution of teaching practices with real life content (TPRLC) pre-service teachers’ skills levels in associating the light and sound learning areas with daily life
