Though pedagogical beliefs have been identified as critical factors in the success of technology integration, very few studies have included them in technology-adoption models. The present study revises the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) by adding teachers’ pedagogical beliefs, and tests the revised model among university-level English-as-a-foreign- language (EFL) teachers in China. Specifically, the revised model examines how teachers’ constructivist and/or transmissive pedagogical beliefs influence four key constructs of the TAM: perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, attitude toward use, and intention to use. Survey data were collected from 202 Chinese EFL teachers and analyzed using path analysis. The revised model showed a good model fit. The results indicated that the sampled teachers’ pedagogical beliefs were more constructivist-oriented than transmissive-oriented, and that the former type of beliefs had a significant positive influence on three of the above-mentioned TAM construct...

The new meaning of educational change / Michael G. Fullan

Background:Misconceptions are major obstacles to learning physics, and the concepts of heat and temperature are some of the common misconceptions that are encountered in daily life. Therefore, it is important to develop valid and reliable tools to determine students’ misconceptions about basic thermodynamics concepts. Three-tier tests are effective assessment tools to determine misconceptions in physics. Although a limited number of three-tier tests about heat and temperature are discussed in the literature, no reports discuss three-tier tests that simultaneously consider heat, temperature and internal energy.Purpose:The aim of this study is to develop a valid and reliable three-tier test to determine students’ misconceptions about heat, temperature and internal energy.Sample:The sample consists of 462 11th-grade Anatolian high school students. Of the participants, 46.8% were female and 53.2% were male.Design and methods:This research takes the form of a survey study. Initially, a multiple-choice test was...

Development of Three-Tier Heat, Temperature and Internal Energy Diagnostic Test.

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationships between ninth grade students’ metacognitive self-regulation skills and physics self-efficacy beliefs and their critical thinking. To this end, 162 students attending the ninth grade participated in the study. Critical thinking scale, metacognitive self-regulation scale and physics self-efficacy scale were used as data collection tools in the study. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, pearson product moment correlation analysis, and stepwise multiple regression analysis. According to descriptive analysis results the students’ critical thinking, metacognitive self-regulation and physics self-efficacy beliefs were high. Moreover, stepwise multiple regression analysis revealed that the students’ metacognitive self-regulation and physics self-efficacy belief scores were significant predictors of their critical thinking scores, explaining 55 % of the variance of critical thinking scores. In addition, it was also determined that the main variable that best explained critical thinking was metacognitive self-regulation, explaining 53 % of variance.

High School Students' Critical Thinking Related to Their Metacognitive Self-Regulation and Physics Self-Efficacy Beliefs.

Beliefs about pedagogy and the use of technol- ogy affect the integration ICT in classrooms. This compar- ative study explores the pedagogical beliefs of pre-service physics teachers from two different cultures and examines the relationship between teachers' beliefs about construc- tivist and traditional teaching and their related beliefs about the use of technology. This study was conducted with 115 Turkish and 90 Singaporean pre-service physics teachers. The results indicate that both Turkish and Singaporean pre- service physics teachers tend to believe in constructivist teaching which are aligned with their respective countries reform efforts. However, there is a significant difference between Turkish and Singaporean pre-service physics teachers in terms of constructivist use of technology beliefs. According to the results of this study more efforts are needed to insure that ICT is used more productively to support the teaching of physics in a constructivist manner and to create more effective physics classes.

Preservice Physics Teachers’ Beliefs Regarding Their Teacher Efficacy and Classroom Management☆

Recent studies conducted in science education have focused on identification and elimination of difficulties encountered by students in learning science in order to raise the quality of learning. Some studies have emphasized that students regard physics as a difficult subject to learn and an abstract one (Fonseca & Conboy, 1999; Ornek, Robinson & Haugan, 2008; Whitelegg & Parry, 1999). As reasons for their views, they cite the fact that they have performed many different things such as experiments, formulas, concepts, graphs and calculations at the same time while they are learning physics (Angell, Guttersrud, Henriksen & Isnes, 2004). However, one of the reasons why students have such negative opinions about physics is concerned with the methods, which teachers employ while teaching physics (Zacharia, 2003). Contemporary understanding of education requires that different characteristics of individuals be taken into consideration and that educational activities be planned in accordance with this (Rubin & Herbert, 1998). In this sense, teachers should use learning and teaching methods that take into account the individual differences of students instead of traditional teaching in order to reduce students’ negative attitudes towards physics learning and increase their success. In recent years, efforts have been made to create more efficient learning environments by taking into account the effects of individual differences in learning and various teaching methods have emerged in this regard. Gardner (1983) proposed the multiple intelligences (MI) theory in his book “Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences”. MI theory goes beyond the classical point of view in the theory and is defined as an individual’s ability to introduce a product, which is considered worthwhile in one or more cultures, and solve a problem they encounter in their daily or professional lives effectively and efficiently (Gardner, 1983). In this sense, Gardner (1983) does not restrict individuals’ capacities to their IQs only and defines seven intelligences, which he argues people possess. Moreover, Gardner also maintains that this number may be inadequate in expressing the multiplicity of human abilities (Chekley, 1997). In support of this, in an Deniz Gurcay, Hatice Ozturk Ferah Hacettepe University, Turkey Abstract. The aim of this research is to examine the effects of multiple intelligences based instruction on the 9th grade students’ achievements and attitude towards the Force and Motion topics in physics. The participants of this research are composed of randomly selected 95 ninth graders, who were divided into two experimental and two control classes. The experimental groups were exposed to lesson plans based on the multiple intelligences for six weeks. In the control groups, traditional instruction was conducted. Force and Motion Achievement Test, Force and Motion Attitude Scale, Revised Student Multiple Intelligences Profile Questionnaire and Students’ Views about MI-based instruction Questionnaire were used as research instruments in this research. As a result of this research, it was found that multiple intelligences based instruction had a significant effect on students’ achievements in the Force and Motion topics. However, multiple intelligences based instruction had any significant effect on students’ attitudes towards force and motion topics. In addition, a large majority of the students in the experimental group found the courses based on multiple intelligences more enjoyable and found more instructive.
