He is the author of several scholarly textbooks and more than 70 published articles covering various topics like superstring theory, supersymmetry, supergravity and hadronic physics. Michio Kaku is also a futurist. He believes in different types of civilizations. For Michio, type 1 civilization "is truly a planetary society, who has mastered all forms of terrestrial energy. Their energy output is much greater than ours". And he continues: "We are Type 0. We still get our energy from dead plants. Pretty pathetic, if you ask me. I could only imagine what an advanced alien civilization thinks of us. With our racism, wars, and class struggles we will be lucky if we ever get to a Type 1. At the current rate, in my opinion the human race is headed toward extinction. The generation now alive and our grandchildren are the most important generations ever to walk the surface of the Earth. We are the generations that will determine whether we make the transition from Type 0 to Type 1 or we destroy ourselves because of our arrogance and our weapons." Michio Kaku

Teaching and learning of the concept of energy and related concepts through traditional teaching ... more Teaching and learning of the concept of energy and related concepts through traditional teaching methods are difficult since these concepts are abstract and their scientific meanings are different from their daily-life meanings. Moreover, another source of this difficulty is due to deficiency of appropriate teaching materials for such abstract concepts. Constructivist approach derives from students' real-world experiences and suggests the use of computer technology for solving these problems. Due to these reasons, there is a need to develop teaching materials in order to make science concepts concrete that are too theoretical to grab, too small to see, and too big to bring to class. The aim of this study is to introduce a computer-supported instructional material based upon 5E learning model regarding the "work, power and energy" unit for 10 th grade level. Finally, e-contents of the FATIH Project might be designed according to the 5E learning model as done in this stu...

Türkiye'de de öğretmen yeterliklerinin belirlenmesi ve bu doğrultuda nitelikli öğretmen yetiştirilmesi yönünde çeşitli çalışmalar yapılmaktadır. Bu konuda Milli Eğitim Bakanlığı, Yükseköğretim Kurumu ve üniversitelerin Fen Edebiyat ve Eğitim Fakülteleri'nin çeşitli çalışmaları olmuştur. Öğretmen yetiştirme politikalarında yapılan değişikliklerin ön çalışma ve planlama yapılmadan politik dayatmalar şeklinde gerçekleştirilmeye çalışılmış olması, verilen eğitimin niteliğinin düşmesine yol açmıştır. Pedagojik formasyon yolu ile de nicel yönden bir artış sağlanmaya çalışılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, eğitimin temel taşlarından olan öğretmenlerin yetiştirilmesi, nitelik ve nicelik boyutunda değerlendirilmiştir.

The sample of the study consisted of 2222 elementary education teachers (1249 females and 973 males) from 21 provinces with major towns and villages in Turkey. Job satisfaction of the subjects was examined in terms of gender, age, seniority, settlement place, and college. The criteria for job satisfaction included wish of the teacher related to administrated politics, control, physical conditions, individual factors, interpersonal factors. and payment. Results showed that the subjects weren’t satisfied with payment but they were satisfied in terms of interpersonal factors, individual factors, and control. Results are interpreted as that the satisfaction of primary school teachers with different educational background was low and the main reason for this is that fact that these people work in their related fields.

Argumentation is a teaching method that has been frequently used by science education researchers... more Argumentation is a teaching method that has been frequently used by science education researchers in recent years and provides a learning environment in which the dialogic interaction increases. In this way the conceptual change is more persistent rather than a learning environment in which the teacher unilaterally attempts to transfer his/her own truths to the learners. This study aims to examine the effect of using argumentation as a method of teaching in the field of physics, specifically focusing on the topic of electricity, which is encountered with difficulties at conceptual level both during teaching and learning in science on conceptual understanding of pre-service science teachers. This study was designed as an exploratory study because it is aimed to gain experience of researchers as to how to implement the argumentation as a teaching method considering its effects to be determined at the end of the study. In the scope of the study two pilot studies which were designed as ...

As the data collection instrument, the Turkish version of "Teachers' Self Efficacy Scale" developed by Yesim Capa Aydin, Jale Cakiroglu and Hilal Sarikaya (1990) was used in this study. The results of the study were analyzed using SPSS. According to the research results, there are no significant difference pre-service secondary science and mathematics teachers' self- efficacy according to their gender at level of α=.05.

The study was conducted with 50 pre-service secondary science teachers and 75 secondary science teachers. As the data collection instrument, the "science teaching efficacy belief scale" (STEBS) was used in this study. According to the research results, there was no significant difference between in-service and pre-service secondary science teachers' personal self efficacy beliefs and outcome expectations about science teaching at level = 0.05. Moreover, these self efficacy beliefs and outcome expectations did not changed relating to their gender, teaching experience, but they changed relating to their graduate school type and major.

For this reason, we aimed to examine pre-service physics teachers' knowledge on concept mapping, their ideas about the implementation of concept mapping in physics classes, the hidden elements influencing their ideas, and the relations between knowledge and ideas, qualitatively. The participants of this study were eight pre-service physics teachers enrolled in the physics education department at two state universities. The results of the interviews conducted with the participants and their artifacts revealed that although pre-service physics teachers had basic knowledge about concept mapping, they had some negative ideas about implementation in physics classes. Furthermore, language, limitation in assessment, limitation in expressions, and teacher's knowledge were identified as the sources of pre-service physics teachers' negative ideas.
