THE USE OF PROBLEM-SOLVING TECHNIQUES TO DEVELOP SEMIOTIC PROCEDURAL KNOWLEDGE MODELS ABOUT MAGNETISM AND THEIR ROLE IN LEARNING FOR PROSPECTIVE SCIENCE TEACHERS
Abstract
This
study identifies prospective science teachers’ knowledge and achievement levels
in terms of the variables affecting their problem-solving techniques. The aim
is to develop a semiotic procedural knowledge model that will enable them to
better understand complex subjects, such as magnetism. The model was
established by generalizing the nodes from a semiotic model developed for
multiple questions. Assessment and control mechanisms for learning systems were
used in the model to maximize the production quality and efficiency of the
prospective science teachers’ functional behaviors. The data for this study
were collected through four measurement tools. The data were analyzed using
VDOIHI scoring, and the knowledge and achievement levels were identified. The
development of the semiotic procedural knowledge model was based on these
knowledge and achievement levels. Results suggest that semiotic models are
needed for improving the knowledge processes of prospective science teachers.
