ABSTRACT
This study investigated the effects of expertise-based training (XBT) supported with
videos including expert teachers’ shared experiences in a real class environment on
preservice science teachers’ science teaching self-efficacy, in addition to their perceptions
on the effects of XBT. The participants were 32 preservice science teachers registered for
Methods of Teaching Science I. The methodology of the study was concurrent
triangulation mixed methods research design. The data were collected through the Science
Teaching Efficacy Belief Instrument (STEBI), open-ended questionnaires following
experts’ videos, observations, and interviews. During analysis, a paired t-test
wasconducted for quantitative data, and open coding analysis was applied for qualitative
data. The quantitative results showed that after the intervention, science teaching efficacy
beliefs increased. Moreover, the qualitative data showed that preservice science teachers
learned a great deal about the application of teaching methods.
