An Investigation of Science Teachers’ Teaching Methods and Techniques: Amasya Case
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to determine the methods and techniques science teachers mostly employ
in their classrooms. To collect data, the researchers employed a survey with 60 science teachers and randomly
selected 6 of them to observe these selected teachers in real classroom situation. Furthermore, the researchers invited
154 students taught by the selected 6 teachers in this study, for focus group interviewing. After analyzing the
collected data, the researchers found that teachers in this study 1) were more likely to use narrative method, 2)
supported their teaching with question and answer, demonstration, case study, and problem solving methods and
techniques, and 3) rarely employed student centered discussion, laboratory practice, role playing and project-based
learning methods in their classroom. Consequently, there exist some differences between theory and practice
regarding teaching methods and techniques of teachers in this study.
