Özet:

In this study, the impact of the course of Science and Technology Laboratory Applications on the beliefs of self-sufficiency in the teaching of science of classmates. It is also studied whether these beliefs differ according to gender variables. One-group pre-test-final test model was followed. The study group consists of a total of 121 class teachers candidates, including 85 women and 36 men. The data; developed by Enochs and Riggs (1990) and translated into Turkish by Bıkmaz (2002) through the application of the "Class Teacher Candidate's Equality of Faith in Science Teaching" in the beginning and end of the 14 weeks of Science and Technology Laboratory Applications course to teachers candidates. The course of Science and Technology Laboratory Applications has shown that the class teacher candidates have increased their personal self-sufficiency points, which is one of the subdimensions of the beliefs of self-sufficiency towards the teaching of science, statistically significantly, and that the result expectation, which is another subdimensional, has not changed significantly. The scale of self-sufficiency has also shown that the total points are significantly increased with the implementation. The result was that the self-sufficiency scores of the teacher candidates did not show a significant difference depending on gender in the first and last test. It has been understood that the meaningful development in the beliefs of teaching candidates in the post-application science is derived from women candidates, since there has been no meaningful difference between the total scores for male candidates and the two sub-dimensional pre-test and final test data.
