Abstract
The purpose of this descriptive case study was to better understand the characteristics of Teacher Professional Learning Communities(TPLCs) of pre-service teachers(PsTs). Data were derived from 2 TPLCs in which 15 PsTs volunteered to participate, within the context of a pre-school Science Education course they were enrolled in. We analyzed transcripts of videotaped TPLC meetings following the thematic analysis approach. Our findings provide insights about how this group of PsTs utilized opportunities for professional growth.
