Fifty-one students from the Primary School Teaching Program took part in the study. An explanatory approach to the combined method, which enables both quantitative and qualitative research, was used in the study. In order to collect the quantitative data, the teacher candidates were surveyed using the Slowmation Opinion Scale. For the collection of the qualitative data, six of the teacher candidates were asked semi-structured questions during a focus group interview. The teacher candidates prepared slowmations devoted to elementary 4th and 5th grade biology subjects. The prepared slowmations were presented and the survey was carried out. In light of the data obtained, a focus group interview was conducted and the data compiled from the scale was expanded. According to the data, the student teachers defined the slowmations as enjoyable, rewarding, educational, creative, informative and stimulating. According to the qualitative data, on the other hand, they remarked that slowmations should be used in accordance with course requirements and would be more effective when implemented on groups of younger learners. They also stated that preparing slowmations had been difficult initially, particularly in the designing of the subject to be presented.en10.1007/s10639-018-9817-0info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessImproving classroom teachingPrimary educationSimulationsTeachinglearning strategiesArticle24210151034Q1N/A
