Description

Abstract. This study investigates the interaction between identity and agency of physics teachers in Turkey from a sociocultural perspective. Data collection included individual semi-structured interviews, fieldnotes from classroom observations, informal interviews after observations, and lesson artifacts. Data analysis of the qualitative data was through thematic analysis to identify and code for recurring themes that illustrate the participants’ views and practices. The results indicated the differences in two teachers’ agency in terms of their beliefs, practices and social interaction with their colleagues and students. The study has implications for the preparation of pre-service and in-service physics teachers.
