Prospective Teachers’ Activity Designing Skills in Accordance with Cognitive Constructivism Strategies
Abstract
The aim of this study is to support and examine the level of teaching process designing
skills of prospective teachers of Turkish based on two main educational approaches. The research
process has been designed in accordance with the stages of the mixed research model. In the first
stage of the research, prospective teachers were given training on Revised Bloom Taxonomy (RBT)
and 5E model. In the first stage of the study, prospective teachers were provided training on cognitive
constructivism strategies. Then; knowledge was given about the teaching strategies developed
according to these approaches. In the second stage, prospective teachers designed activities based on
these strategies. In the third stage, the designed activities were assessed through a pre-developed
rubric. Based on the achievement levels of the activities designed in this stage, the function of RBT
and 5E Model and the cognitive and constructivist approaches were compared and evaluated. In the
last stage of the study, prospective teachers' feelings and thoughts about RBT and 5E model were
examined qualitatively. In this context, semi-structured interview was conducted and the data were
collected and analyzed. The findings obtained from the examinations on quantitative and qualitative
data were evaluated. According to these findings, it was determined that the activities prepared by
prospective teachers according to RBT were generally more successful and sufficient than the
activities prepared according to 5E model. According to the results, it was suggested that prospective
teachers could design activities by benefiting from cognitive constructive strategies.
