The Pedagogical Content Knowledge and beliefs of newly hired secondary science teachers: the first three years

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0187893X14705488

This study used interviews and classroom observations were collected using teachers as a group and the teachers' induction programs as a subgroup. The findings indcate that over time new teachers are more influenced by their school cultures than by their induction programs. However, beliefs and practices are flexible and they are impacted differently and by different factors. The authors suggest new directions for science teacher educators in their work regarding newly hired science teachers.
