STUDENT TEACHERS’ ATTITUDES ABOUT BASIC PHYSICS LABORATORY

ABSRACT

In this study an attitude questionnaire was developed and applied to identify student teachers’ interests and attitudes for basic physics laboratory. In physics laboratory practices run by a higher education institution a new attitude questionnaire was developed and applied twice in two terms by researchers to increase student teachers’ success during the experimental process was going on. To that end sufficient number of students were interviewed, the findings were supported and the results were discussed. Although these students were successfull in undertaking basic physics laboratory experiments, it was found that the students performed unfavorable attitudes against laboratory experiments. The study was completed by suggesting that students/pupils’ interests may be developed at earlier ages .
