Abstract In this study, we investigated the features of planning lessons using analogies by pre-service secondary science teachers. Eight pre-service teachers at a college of education in Seoul participated in this study. After the workshop of instructional analogies in science education, they planned lessons using analogies. We also conducted semi-structured interviews. For the analyses, we used a revised framework from previous works which characterized the dimensions of teaching through analogies.
The analyses of the results revealed that most pre-service teachers planned to use analogies in developing lesson and to present analogs before target concepts. They also planned to explain mapping and work with analogies such as analyzing mapping, which are teacher-centered activities. Only a few pre-service teachers planned to grasp students’ understanding of analogs and target concepts in order to give some feedbacks. Many planned not to explicate mapping and not to cover differences, because they thought that students could misunderstand mapping and differences could make students confused. Most planned to use videos, figures, and pictures to help students understand analogies that they presented, and some planned role-playing analogies. Educational implications of these findings are discussed.
