Description
This study aimed to investigate the practices, and perspectives of in-service elementary and middle school teachers in Italy (N=74) and Turkey (N=56) regarding the properties of matter. A new questionnaire was created and used to collect data. Results showed that teachers in both countries mainly focused on the temperature in change of state. Their least concern was on magnetic susceptibility and latent heat. In teaching Turkish teachers preferred giving examples, while Italian teachers preferred argumentation. The Likert-type questionnaire showed that Turkish teachers had a higher average score than Italian teachers on both their opinions and practices regarding teaching the subject.
