Reveles, J.M., (Fall 2010- Spring 2011) Elementary School Teachers’ Perceptions of Science Teaching. Data analysis not yet completed.
AbstractThis study examines teachers’ perceptions about how well their teacher education credential program prepared them to teach science in connection with perceptions of what is expected of them by the state of California regarding teaching science at the K-6 grade levels. Two focus groups interviews were conducted with participating teachers from an elementary school district located in a small city on the outskirts of Los Angeles, California. The research employed three types of ethnographic analyses including: a) video analysis of focus group interviews, b) artifact analysis of teacher written responses, and c) discourse analysis of focus group interaction. Research analyses revealed significant findings regarding teachers’ perceptions of teaching science. |
