As a qualitativecase study, it adopted a descriptive methodology. The study concentrated on 11postgraduate students studying at various universities at various departmentsof education faculties who are serving as teachers of Science at the same timeat various secondary and/or high schools in North Cyprus. The in-depthinterviews, interviews, actual-teaching-time observations and diary-keepingswere conducted. Data were analyzed using content analysis from the transcribedinterviews, from the diaries kept and from the observation checklists. Theresults maintained that postgraduate studies provided teachers of Science toimprove their instructional competencies and teaching programme; enriched waysof their learning, provided them to develop various types of teaching andlearning materials and to apply various types of measurements and evaluationmethods for improving their skills on teaching and learning; improvedorganization and management skills on content, method, events and duration; andfacilitated them to conduct researches and do publications.

Betimsel bir metodoloji benimsenen bu makale,nitel durum çalışmasıdır. Çalışma, Kuzey Kıbrıs’ta bulunan üniversitelerineğitim fakültelerinde lisansüstü eğitim yapan ve ortaokul ve/ya liselerde FenBilgisi alanında öğretmen olarak çalışan 11 öğretmenle yapılmıştır.Derinlemesine görüşmeler, bireysel görüşmeler ile ders-içi gözlemler yapılarakve günlük tutularak çalışma yürütülmüştür. Veriler, kaydedilen görüşmelerden,tutulan günlüklerden ve ders-içi gözlem kayıtlarından içerik analizi yapılarakanaliz edilmiştir. Araştırmanın sonucunda, Fen Bilgisi alanı öğretmenlerininöğretim yeterliklerini geliştirdiği, öğretim programının geliştirilmesinisağladığı, öğrenme ve öğretim süreçlerini zenginleştiren yollargeliştirmelerini sağladığı, çeşitli eğitim-öğretim materyallerigeliştirmelerini sağladığı, çeşitli ölçüm ve değerlendirme yöntemleriuygulamalarını sağladığı, içerik, yöntem, ders içi-dışı olaylar ve süre üzerinegeliştirilmiş organizasyon becerilerini geliştirdiği, sınıf içi-dışı araştırmave akademik yayın becerilerini geliştirdiği bulunmuştur.
