Expectations of Teacher Candidates from Lecture of Educational Psychology
Öz
During the lecture of educational psychology it has long been observed
that the primary expectation of some teacher candidates from the course was to
get a high score at the public
personnel selection examination (PPSE). When Form-2 was applied to the
40 volunteer teacher candidates in the classroom, it was understood
that 15 teacher candidates expect primarily from the lecture of educational
psychology “Being Successful in PPSE”. As the researcher lectures in the
class, he also realized that this expectation has negative effects on their
motivation for the lecture. The researcher was disturbed by this situation and dedicate
the present study to understanding this problem. Among the teacher candidates who
stated his / her prior ambition is “Being
Successful in PPSE”, five volunteers (diary keepers) were included to the
case study. The research then continued with these five participants. The
applications lasted for six weeks. The diaries composed by the participants
about the lectures studied, and the activities made during the lectures were
collected at the end of every lecture and analysed with the content analysis
method. At the end of the research, it was observed that the aims of all
participants in the Lectures of Educational Psychology changed. Their priorities
became “Having Good Teaching Knowledge
and Skill”.
