Investigating Pre-service Science Teachers’ Developing Professional Knowledge Through the Lens of Differentiated Instruction

Abstract: In this study, the author implemented a problem-based learning (PBL) experience that allowed students in an advanced science methodology course to explore differentiated instruction. Through working systematically in small, collaborative groups, students explored the nature of differentiated instruction. The objective of the study was to examine pre-service teachers' developing conceptions of differentiated instruction (DI) as a way to teach for diversity. The author adopted action research as a strategy to ex… Show more

“…Based on the results of the research (Table 2) in a few surveys (18.75%, N = 3) the conditions and procedures for effective implementation of differentiated instruction are recorded (Goodnough, 2010;Symeonidou & Kyriakides, 2010;Joseph, 2013). More specifically, in these researches careful planning and organization of teaching, knowledge of differentiated instruction, availability of time, flexibility on the part of the teacher, and support from the administration are recorded as basic requirements and procedures for effective implementation of differentiated instruction.…”

“…They argue that it provides additional knowledge for PSTs enrolled in general education programs because it emphasizes the development of skills required for the successful teaching of students with diverse learning and behavioural needs. Other researchers contend that if PSTs are to be prepared to work with diverse learners, then they need to learn about DI, develop beliefs about it, and have the opportunity to acquire skills using it while in their teacher education programs (Edwards, Carr, & Siegel, 2006;Goodnough, 2010). The PSTs in this particular teacher education program learned about DI and had opportunities to develop skills using it in their practica.…”

“…From another perspective, the approach of teachers, who were trained with differentiated instruction method, will be different in their professional lives when they encounter different learners. Teacher training institutions should help teachers to gain the necessary knowledge and skills to provide a better education for different learners (Goodnough, 2010). In this regard, it is believed that it is important for teachers to meet differentiated instruction methods.…”
