I report an action research study that aimed at improving Thai pre-service teachers’ understanding of the relationship between
science and religion and at assisting them to respond to this issue in a science classroom. The participants were twelve post-grad
students pursuing Master of Art in Teaching Science at Kasetsart University. They took a course, Philosophy of Science, taught
by the researcher in Semester A, academic year 2007. Process drama is the teaching strategy employed. The students were fully
engaged in the process drama; doing research, producing, distributing, and criticizing the drama. Focus group, student journal,
and observation were used to gather the data and the data was analyzed using qualitative analysis techniques. The focus groups
revealed that the drama could help students reflect on the complexity and sensitivity of the issue. They found there was no
inherent conflict between science and religion since they answered different questions and used different methods to achieve
their results. However, the conflicts occurred when people were not aware of the basic differences between the two so they
justified one on the basis of purpose and method of one another. The pre-service teachers also found consistency between science
and Buddhism. They thought that the teachers of science should respond to the conflicts in a respectful, compromising, and
neutral manner. 相似文献

ABSTRACTGiven the abundance of literature describing the strong relationship between inquiry-based teaching and student achievement, more should be known about the factors impacting science teachers’ classroom inquiry implementation. This study utilises the theory of planned behaviour to propose and validate a causal model of inquiry-based teaching through analysing data relating to high-performing countries retrieved from the 2011 Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study assessments. Data analysis was completed through structural equation modelling using a polychoric correlation matrix for data input and diagonally weighted least squares estimation. Adequate fit of the full model to the empirical data was realised. The model demonstrates that the extent the teachers participated in academic collaborations was positively related to their occupational satisfaction, confidence in teaching inquiry, and classroom inquiry practices. Furthermore, the teachers’ confidence with implementing inquiry was positively related to their classroom inquiry implementation and occupational satisfaction. However, perceived student-generated constraints demonstrated a negative relationship with the teachers’ confidence with implementing inquiry and occupational satisfaction. Implications from this study include supporting teachers through promoting collaborative opportunities that facilitate inquiry-based practices and occupational satisfaction. 相似文献
