The Roles of Teacher-Training Programs and Student Teachers’ Self-Regulation in Developing Competence in Teaching Science
The objective of this research is to determine the effect of (1) teacher-training programs (2) student teachers’ self-regulation; and (3) the interaction between teacher-training programs and self-regulation on competence in teaching science among elementary student teachers.
The study was conducted in an elementary school-teacher education program with a sample of 44 student teachers. The research findings are as follows: first, the student teachers who participated in the reflective teaching program showed greater science-teaching competence than those who participated
in the microteaching program; second, the science-teaching competence of student teachers with high levels of self-regulation is improved by the reflective teaching program; third, student teachers with low levels of self-regulation benefitted from the microteaching program; fourth, there
are interactions between teacher-training programs and self-regulation that have different effects on competence in teaching science at the elementary.
