Abstract:Assisting student teachers to understand the ethical nature of their work and developing the moral vocabulary to deal with ethical dilemmas of practice are vital components of initial teacher education. The study explores ethical dilemmas experienced by 100 student teachers in their final year of their teaching degrees while on practicum. The data examined were written reflective statements of each of the 100 students' ethical dilemmas. The study found that, while some types of ethical dilemmas seem universal,… Show more
“…In this way, 'the emergent professional identity framework highlights social interactions and the way engagement with collaboration is influenced by participation in particular communities of practice' (Turner, 2016, p. 583). Conflicting ideologies are a major source of student teachers' experienced dilemmas (Davies & Heyward, 2019;Ding & Wang, 2018;Lindqvist et al, 2019a). Samuelsson and Colnerud (2015) exemplified dilemmas in experiences of classroom management during work placement education.…”

Teacher education involves encountering ethical dilemmas connected to teaching. Student teachers' ethical dilemmas sometimes occur when ideals clash with experiences. The current study focuses on the challenges experienced by student teachers during work placement education. The aim of the study was to investigate ethical dilemmas student teachers experienced during work placement education, using the sensitising concept of the notion of care. The data consist of semi-structured interviews from 22 student teachers and were analysed using a constructivist grounded theory framework. The findings show that the ethical dilemmas reported by the student teachers regarded two influential agents in work placement education: pupils and teachers. Concerning pupils, the dilemmas involved encountering pupils living in poor circumstances as well as experiencing aggression from and among pupils. When it comes to teachers, dilemmatic experiences stemmed from teachers who were disillusioned and derogatory talk in the teacher lounge.

“…If the laboratory hands-on activity process is not carried out, of course the learning objectives of psychomotor aspects cannot be achieved by students, and this can later affect student learning outcomes in school. The function of the laboratory handson activity approach is to provide interaction between teacher and students, develop thinking skills, and provide opportunities for students to interact directly with the world of biology (Davies & Heyward, 2019). According to Gürsoy, (2013), to find out the quality of laboratory hands-on activity used in practical activities, 2 important factors are needed, namely: the time of student laboratory hands-on activity implementation, and preparation and implementation of practices.…”
The issues arise in performing laboratory hands-on activity are: the less frequence in its implementation, the lack of students interest, the limited in time, and lack of preparation. By considering the importance of laboratory hands-on activity, it is necessary to examine the conditions of the hands-on activity in school whether the activity has been in accordance with the existing rules and standards. This study aimed to determine the implementation of biology hands-on activity in students’ grade XI of SSHS 10-Pekanbaru. The population in this study was 144 students. The sampling technique used were Slovin formula and purposive sampling, in which the sample was 60 students of class XI MIPA-1 to MIPA-4. The instruments used to collect the data in this study were questionnaires, observation sheets, and interviews. The results showed that the for 4 indicators observed (i.e. hands-on activity intensity, students’ interest in hands-on activity, hands-on activity duration, and hands-on activity preparation) reached the percentages between 76.14% and 80.66%, which were in the good category. Thus, it can be concluded that this school has been conducting a good hands-on activity. It is suggested for further researchers to focus on problems analysis and alternative solutions
