TITLE What Is Necessary To Include in a Science Methods Course for Teachers on Emergency Permits? The Role of the Feedback

This study examines a feedback portfolio developed by student teachers in their secondary science methods courses. The portfolio preparation requires students to reflect and select their best five learning experiences during the course and provide a short explanation regarding the value of those experiences. This study also involves emergency permit teachers. Findings indicate that students appreciate the different experiences explored during the secondary science methods course and the opportunity to reflect and develop the feedback portfolio. In order to prepare science teachers working on emergency permits, experience with immediate translation into the secondary science classroom should be provided to those student teachers.
