Abstract

This study was performed with 49 science teacher candidates in order to determine their levels of readiness regarding the strength of binary, organic and oxy acids, and to assess how much progress they have made as a result of their four-year education.In this study, 9 open-ended questions were initially addressed to the teacher candidates at the beginning of the 1st semester to determine their levels of readiness. These questions were later asked once again to the same teacher candidates at the end of the 8th semester to assess their level of knowledge following their four-year education.The teacher candidates were requested to answer the questions with drawings as well as in writing. When analyzing the questions, the level of knowledge of the teacher candidates were grouped according to their drawings and written answers, based on the levels used by Bartoszeck, Machado and Amann-Gainotti (2008) and Uzunkavak (2009a, 2009b). According to the study’s results, it was determined that the teacher candidates’ levels of readiness were low, and that although their level of performance increased at end of their four-year education, their knowledge on the matter was still insufficient.
