perceptions of teachers of Science (teachers teaching Science lessons at
secondary schools grades from 6, 7 and 8, and teachers teaching Physics, Chemistry
or Biology lessons grades from 9, 10, 11 and 12 at high schools) on how
postgraduate education affects their lifelong-learning skills. As a qualitative
case study, it adopted a descriptive methodology. The study concentrated on 11
postgraduate students studying at various universities at various departments
of education faculties who are serving as teachers of Science at the same time
at various secondary and/or high schools in North Cyprus. The in-depth
interviews, interviews, actual-teaching-time observations and diary-keepings
were conducted. Data were analyzed using content analysis from the transcribed
interviews, from the diaries kept and from the observation checklists. The
results maintained that postgraduate studies provided teachers of Science to
improve their instructional competencies and teaching programme; enriched ways
of their learning, provided them to develop various types of teaching and
learning materials and to apply various types of measurements and evaluation
methods for improving their skills on teaching and learning; improved
organization and management skills on content, method, events and duration; and
facilitated them to conduct researches and do publications. <span> </span> </span> </p> <p> </p>}, number={3}, publisher={Bolu Abant Izzet Baysal University}
