    (2020-01-01) Atasoy V., Çakiroğlu J.; Volkan ATASOY, Jale ÇAKIROĞLU; Atasoy, V, Cakiroglu, J
    It was aimed to investigate the relationship between collective efficacy and science teaching efficacy beliefs of pre-service teachers. The study was composed of four junior pre-service science teachers working together to fulfill the tasks of a science methods course. They were interviewed at regular intervals during one semester. The results revealed that the sources of collective efficacy played an essential role in the development of personal science teaching efficacy and science teaching outcome expectancy of the group members. The participants most emphasized the effect of the positive influence of mastery experience. It was concluded that science teacher educators could consider collective efficacy when designing their courses to improve pre-service teachers’ science teaching efficacy beliefs.

    Preservice science teachers’ collective efficacy in a science methods course
    (2019-05-04) Atasoy V., Cakiroglu J.; Atasoy, V, Cakiroglu, J
    This study investigated how preservice teachers develop collective efficacy when preparing lesson plans for a science methods course, and how this collective efficacy changed over time. The data were collected from four preservice science teachers working in a group to fulfil the requirements of the course. Findings revealed that four factors, including collaborative work, sharing the same goal, attitudes towards group work and group cohesion, played an important role in the development of collective efficacy among preservice teachers. The study also showed that collective efficacy improved continuously over the semester.
