Science-specific pedagogical content knowledge: A model for early childhood teachers' professional development

Öz:
The aim of this study is to create a hybrid model for pedagogical content knowledge specific to preschool science education, based on pedagogical content knowledge models in the literature and factors affecting early childhood science education. In this respect, a holistic model was presented by examining the literature on the nature of preschool science education and the historical development of pedagogical content knowledge structure. This model defines the pedagogical knowledge fields that preschool teachers are expected to have for a qualified science education and their professional competencies in these fields. Defining a structure for pedagogical content knowledge in preschool science education provides a framework that will support the process of targeting the points that can empower teachers and producing content for this. The model can be used in the processes of determining teacher competencies in science education, developing a measurement tool in this field, and organizing teacher education content.

Okul öncesi bilim eğitimine özgü pedagojik alan bilgisi: Öğretmenlerin mesleki gelişimi için bir model önerisi*

Öz:
Bu çalışmanın amacı, alanyazında yer alan pedagojik alan bilgisi modelleri ve erken çocukluk bilim eğitimini etkileyen faktörlerden yola çıkarak okul öncesi bilim eğitimine özgü pedagojik alan bilgisi için hibrit bir model oluşturulmasıdır. Bu doğrultuda, okul öncesi bilim eğitiminin doğası ve pedagojik alan bilgisi yapısının tarihsel gelişimine ilişkin alanyazın incelenerek bütünsel bir model önerisi sunulmuştur. Ortaya konulan bu model, nitelikli bir bilim eğitimi için okul öncesi öğretmenlerinin sahip olması beklenen pedagojik bilgi alanlarını ve bu alanlara yönelik mesleki yeterliklerini tanımlamaktadır. Okul öncesi bilim eğitiminde pedagojik alan bilgisine yönelik bir yapının tanımlanması, öğretmenleri yetkinleştirebilecek noktaların hedeflenmesi ve buna yönelik içerik üretilmesi sürecini destekleyecek bir çerçeve sunmaktadır. Model, bilim eğitiminde öğretmen yeterliklerinin belirlenmesi, bu alanda ölçme aracı geliştirilmesi ve öğretmen eğitimi içeriklerinin düzenlenmesi süreçlerinde kullanılabilir.
