Pre-service physics teachers learning to teach biology: the influence of an out-of-field teaching course on professional identity

Out-of-field teaching is a phenomenon faced by many countries worldwide, including Thailand. Because out-of-field teaching can alleviate the shortage of teachers qualified in certain subjects, such as mathematics and science, research has focused on facilitating in-service teachers to teach out of their fields to ensure students excel in these subjects. However, little effort has been made to prepare pre-service teachers to deal with this phenomenon. This mixed-methods research examines the influence of an out-of-field teaching course on pre-service teachers’ professional identities. Participants comprised 23 pre-service physics teachers (nine male and 14 female) who designed biology lessons and conducted teaching rehearsals. A Likert-type scale measuring the three components of professional identity (motivation, self-image, and self-efficacy) was completed before and after the course’s instructional activities. Semi-structured interviews were then conducted with all individual participants. The statistical analysis of quantitative data indicated that the participants’ professional identities had significantly developed. The content analysis of qualitative data revealed that participants changed their perceptions of biology, broadened their views of science teaching, and increased their self-efficacy for biology teaching. These results suggest that, with appropriate support, an out-of-field teaching course can strengthen pre-service teachers’ professional identities.

Pengajaran di luar bidang studi merupakan fenomena yang dihadapi oleh banyak negara di seluruh dunia, termasuk Thailand. Karena pengajaran di luar bidang studi dapat mengatasi kekurangan guru yang berkualifikasi dalam mata pelajaran tertentu, seperti matematika dan sains, penelitian telah difokuskan pada memfasilitasi guru yang sedang bertugas untuk mengajar di luar bidang studi mereka untuk memastikan siswa unggul dalam mata pelajaran ini. Namun, sedikit upaya telah dilakukan untuk mempersiapkan calon guru untuk menghadapi fenomena ini. Penelitian metode campuran ini meneliti pengaruh kursus pengajaran di luar bidang studi terhadap identitas profesional calon guru. Peserta terdiri dari 23 calon guru fisika (sembilan laki-laki dan 14 perempuan) yang merancang pelajaran biologi dan melakukan latihan mengajar. Skala tipe Likert yang mengukur tiga komponen identitas profesional (motivasi, citra diri, dan efikasi diri) diselesaikan sebelum dan sesudah kegiatan instruksional kursus. Wawancara semi-terstruktur kemudian dilakukan dengan semua peserta individu. Analisis statistik data kuantitatif menunjukkan bahwa identitas profesional peserta telah berkembang secara signifikan. Analisis isi data kualitatif mengungkapkan bahwa persepsi peserta terhadap biologi berubah, pandangan mereka terhadap pengajaran sains menjadi lebih luas, dan efikasi diri mereka terhadap pengajaran biologi meningkat. Hasil ini menunjukkan bahwa, dengan dukungan yang tepat, kursus mengajar di luar bidang studi dapat memperkuat identitas profesional calon guru.
