Abstract
The study explores how the use of multimedia cases affects the science teaching self-efficacy
of prospective teachers in one university in Kenya. Chemistry and physics prospective
teachers (N = 42) explored questioning and lesson introduction strategies using multimedia
cases filmed in Kenyan classrooms. The changes in their self-efficacy was analyzed by
looking at the difference in their scores in a pre-test and a post-test on a popular science
teaching efficacy beliefs instrument developed by Enochs and Riggs, (1990). The results show
that the use of multimedia cases created a cognitive dissonance that led to a decrease in the
personal science teaching efficacy (PSTE) and no significant change on the science teaching
outcome expectancy (STOE). These findings point to the effectiveness of multimedia cases in
challenging the beliefs of prospective teachers during the methods courses.
