An Investigation of Early Childhood Teacher Self-Efficacy Beliefs in the Teaching of Arts Education (2011, background): “Content knowledge appears to be an important contributor to science teacher self-efficacy (Rice and Roychoudhury, 2003; Tosun, 2000).”
Should Science be Taught in Early Childhood? (2005, background): “…attitudes towards science (Gustafson and Rowell, 1995; McDuffie, 2001; Parker and Spink, 1997; Skamp and Mueller, 2001; Stepans and McCormick, 1985; Tosun, 2000; Yates and Chandler, 2001); such attitudes can only be reinforced, if not caused, by a sense that science teaching in early childhood…”
Using Self-Efficacy as a Construct for Evaluating Science and Mathematics Methods Courses (2007, background): “A review of the research revealed other studies that explored teachers’ beliefs related to science and mathematics teaching and found them to be key factors in determining instructional practices (Haney & Lumpe, 1995; Lumpe, Haney, & Czerniak 2000; Smith, 1996; Tosun, 2000).”
Science and Scientific Curiosity in Pre-school—The teacher's point of view (2013, background): “Studies show that most elementary preservice teachers enter elementary education with a poor scientific background and a negative past experience in science courses (Sutton et al., 1993; Tosun, 2000).”
Reconceptualizing the Sources of Teaching Self-Efficacy: a Critical Review of Emerging Literature (2016, unknown): “Other mixed-methods designs involved cross-sectional research (n = 9), often used to identify potential interviewees who fit a particular self-efficacy profile (e.g., Tosun 2000).”
Preservice Elementary Teachers’ Beliefs About Science Teaching (2008, background): “The influence of a preservice teacher’s field experience may be dependent on the quality of their reflections, participation, or mentors during the time they are in the school setting (Doyle 1997; Tosun 2000).”
RESEARCH REPORT (2004, background): “These negative feelings arose from earlier experiences in science (usually at high school) and tend to overshadow learning during teacher training (Tosun 2000).”
Durability of Changes in Self‐efficacy of Preservice Primary Teachers (2006, background): “They typically have a poor science knowledge (Lloyd et al., 1998; Stevens & Wenner, 1996; Trundle, Atwood, & Christopher, 2002) and lack confidence in their ability to teach it (Appleton, 1995; Jarrett, 1999; Mulholland & Wallace; Palmer, 2001; Tosun, 2000; van Zee, Lay, & Roberts, 2003).”
