A study was conducted to investigate the relationships between four 4th-year preservice physics
teachers’ conceptions of teaching and learning physics and their classroom practices during student
teaching. The data collection methods were: interviews with the participants about conceptions of, and a
personal metaphor for, teaching and learning physics; classroom observations and interviews after teaching;
interviews with cooperating teachers and university supervisors; and collection of related documents. The
data was analyzed by using a constant comparative method. The results revealed that the participants held
two distinct categories of conceptions of teaching and learning physics—lecture-driven and activitydriven—that
strongly related to their classroom practices during student teaching. Additionally, the
participants’ metaphors for teaching and learning physics were closely related to, and could be used to
clarify, their conceptions of teaching and learning physics. Two important factors potentially influenced on
the participants’ classroom practices during student teaching were the supervisions from the cooperating
teachers and the characteristics of students taught. Throughout the student teaching, the participants’
conceptions of, and metaphors for, teaching and learning physics were slightly changed by placing more
emphasis on students’ learning and the roles of students in the teaching and learning processes.
