Abstract

This mixed method research aims to study and develop 27 pre-service science teachers’ learning management competency who enrolled in science methods course in second semester of academic year 2019. The in-depth case studies were employed and incorporated with the following-up 4 cases of pre-service science teachers. The data was collected through learning management competency evaluation form, lesson plans, video reflections form, semi-structured interviews, and related documents. The inductive process was used to analyze in conjunction with computing statistics including percentage.


The findings showed that pre-service science teachers had various understanding of learning management in science. Through learning management in the course, most teachers, however, were categorized in good level of learning management competency in subcomponent of science curriculum, lesson planning and science learning management strategy. They were at moderate level in orientation to teaching science whereas assessment in science with fair level.
