【 摘 要 】

The aim of this study was to examine the factors explaining prospective teachers’ metaphors regarding the concepts of teacher, teaching, learning, instructional material, and evaluation, and to explore the relationships among these factors. A total of 678 prospective teachers voluntarily participated in the study. Research instruments were developed based on the factors which were described by Tekinarslan and Eren (2011) in relation to the concepts of teacher, teaching, learning, instructional material, and evaluation. In line with the aim of the study, model comparisons were conducted following the exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. Furthermore, a zero-order correlation analysis was also conducted in order to examine the relationships among the factors which were described through the prospective teachers’ metaphors. The findings of the present study lead to two major conclusions. The first one is that the prospective teachers’ metaphors regarding teacher, teaching, learning, instructional material, and evaluation are significantly described both through cognitive and affective factors regardless of the effects of the demographic variables. Second one is that the factors regarding the mentioned concepts are significantly and positively related to each other. Implications for teacher education and directions for future studies were also discussed in the study
