A New Learning Community for Educating Future Teachers: Online Baboratory School
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2022) Pekkan, Tunç Zelha; Taylan, Didem Rukiye
To provide quality mathematics education for disadvantaged groups of middle school students and continue to offer quality practicum experience to future teachers during the Covid 19 outbreak, we founded the Online Laboratory School. This school was free and open to public school students: 130 middle school students throughout Turkey attended for a 5-week period. There were 25 pre-service teachers actively involved in teaching, under the close supervision of 7 university supervisors. The entire gamut of planning, teaching and reflection sessions for each virtual class were recorded via an e-learning platform. Additionally, survey data was collected from the participating students, parents, pre-service teachers and supervisors. Our findings indicate that we were able to build a unique and virtual learning community. While pre-service teachers and middle school students benefited the most, university supervisors also reported improving their skills on when and how to give feedback. We describe how the school functioned and the range of opportunities it provided to all participants considering situated-learning perspectives and building online-learning communities. We also discuss how this model can be used in the future as a strong asset for teacher education programs and adaptation of fieldwork practices.

An Online Laboratory School Research on Pre-Service Mathematics Teachers’ Experiences and Mathematics Teaching Anxiety
(Springer, 2022) Ölmez, İbrahim Burak; Taylan, Rukiye Didem; Pekkan, Tunç Zelha
During the COVID-19 pandemic, we founded an Online Laboratory School (OLS) under the roof of a university in Turkey to support students from public schools that were not technologically prepared for an online education and to provide an opportunity for our pre-service teachers (PSTs) to continue their internship by teaching online. The purpose of this research, consisting of two studies, was to examine experiences of 43 PSTs (first-, third- and fourth-years) during the OLS period of 8 weeks and how the OLS affected their mathematics teaching anxiety during Fall 2020. In the first study, we administered a survey to inquire into PSTs’ views on their experiences at the OLS, and in the second study we examined their mathematics teaching anxiety before and after the OLS experience using another survey. One main result was that the OLS experience served as an effective introduction to the profession for first-year PSTs and fourth- and third-year PSTs reported learning in-depth about online teaching in terms of the planning, teaching, and reflecting cycle. Another main result was that PSTs had mathematics teaching anxiety from “a little” to “a moderate amount” before the OLS and their teaching anxiety did not significantly change during the OLS period of 8 weeks. PSTs experienced highest mathematics teaching anxiety when they were observed and evaluated by supervisors during their teaching. The implications of these findings are discussed for teacher education programs.
Preservice Teachers' Math Teaching Anxiety in an Online Laboratory School
(2022) Ölmez, İbrahim Burak; Pekkan, Tunç Zelha; Taylan, Didem; Birgili, Bengi
The purpose of this study was to examine preservice teachers’ math teaching anxiety, to explore the relationships between math teaching anxiety and several variables, and to understand how preservice teachers’ math teaching anxiety changed during eight-weeks of the Online Laboratory School (OLS) within a university. We administered the Math Teaching Anxiety scale with 14 items to 43 preservice teachers by adapting Hadley and Dorward’s (2011) scale. The results revealed that on average, preservice teachers had math teaching anxiety from “a little” to “a moderate amount” degree before the OLS and their math teaching anxiety did not significantly change during the OLS. Moreover, math teaching anxiety was only significantly correlated with the number of methods courses completed so far.
