The tendencies and difficulties experienced by pre-service science teachers during basic measuring
Özet
Besides the accuracy and reliability of the measuring tool, the other element that is required in this context is the basic knowledge, skills and competencies with which the individual making the measurement must be equipped. The present study aims to create awareness in third-year pre-service science teachers (n:75) about concepts of basic measurement (length, time, volume, mass and temperature) required in science/technology classes and to promote the development of related skills. Encompassing both quantitative and qualitative research techniques, the conclusion is drawn from data the whole measuring process is complex and the intentional and sustainable learning is required.
