Özet

The purpose of this study is to determine the images of pre-service chemistry teachers about how they become a chemistry teacher by using The Draw-a-Science-Teacher-Test Checklist (DASTT-C). This study was conducted with 20 pre-service chemistry teachers in 2010-2011 fall semesters in a university in Turkey. The coefficient alpha for the DASTT-C was .816. Data obtained from DASTT-C indicated that pre-service chemistry teachers mostly had conceptual teaching style with the proportion of 55%. Also, results showed that 40% of pre-service chemistry teachers saw themselves as exploratory teachers. The proportion of explicit teachers was 5% in this study. (C) 2012 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
