Makale Özeti:

This is a longitudinal study aimed at revealing the beliefs of prospective science teachers
in the College of Education at Sultan Qaboos University/Sultanate of Oman about science
teaching. To achieve this aim a Draw-A-Science-Teacher-Test Checklist (DASTT-C) tool
was used. The study sample consisted of (45) prospective science teachers in the College
of Education at Sultan Qaboos University. The instrument was applied to the sample
three times: before the Science Method I course, after finishing this course and after finishing
the Science Method II course and the Practicum. The results revealed that after
completing the Science Methods I course, prospective science teachers shifted significantly
from a teacher-centered approach to the intermediate state between the teachercentered
and student-centered. There was no significant change after the Science Methods
II course and the Practicum. Furthermore, the results also showed that among the
three different teaching styles: exploratory, conceptual and explicit indicated in the second
part of the DASTT-C instrument, prospective science teachers in the current study
were found to be at the conceptual teaching style, closer to the boundary with the exploratory
teaching style. This teaching style remained consistent across the three administrations
of the DASTT-C instrument.
