Interdisciplinary Cooperative Material Development in Teacher Education within the Context of Activity Theory
Abstract
In the light of Activity Theory, this study aims to determine dynamics used by CEIT and Turkish teacher candidates in developing interdisciplinary cooperative materials; the role of these dynamics in the process of material development, the effect of this process on quality material design, and gains acquired by teacher candidates at the end of this process are also investigated. Effective communication was promoted through seminars, social networks, and weekly meeting hours with course instructors. A significant difference was found between materials constructed through interdisciplinary collaboration versus traditional methods. In addition, teacher candidates gained skills by studying in a different discipline.
