In this study; the effects of Lego Mindstorms projects on problem solving skills and scientific creativity of teacher candidates were. The study group consisted of 20 pre-service science teachers. The data were collected quantitatively and qualitatively. Problem solving and scientific creativity  test were used as quantitative data collection instruments. , Teacher Participant Interview was used as qualitative data collection tool. The practice with teacher candidates lasted 9 weeks.  In this process, pre-service teachers learned the software. Then, these teacher candidates were presented with the science problems appropriate to different grade levels and produced solutions to these problems with Lego EV3 Education sets.Results of the study, the participating teacher candidates identified Lego Ev3 Education sets as creative (25.6%), functional (18.7%), educational (20.9%), developmental (20.9%) and informative (13.9%). As a result of the projects carried out with the Lego Ev3 education sets, the problem solving skills and scientific creativity of the prospective teachers developed.Extended English summary is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file. ÖzetBu çalışmada; Lego Mindstorms projelerinin öğretmen adaylarının problem çözme becerilerine ve bilimsel yaratıcılıklarına etkisi incelenmiştir. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu Fen Bilgisi 3.sınıf öğrencisi 20 öğretmen adayı oluşturmuştur. Araştırmada nicel ve nitel veriler toplanmıştır.

In this research the effects of STEM applications, which are aimed to support the integrated teaching knowledge of pre-service science teachers on the problem solving skills of pre-service science teachers were examined. The research was carried out in scope of the mixed method design of convergent parallel design. The research was conducted with pre-service science teachers of experimental group (n=31) and control group (n=31) who were studying at Fırat University. STEM applications including Algodoo were carried out with the pre-service teachers in the experimental group for one term. The data of the research were collected through the problem solving inventory test (PSIT), prospects diaries during the process of the pre-service science teachers in the experiment group. Quantitative data were analyzed using unpaired samples t-test. Statistically significant differences were found in favor of the experimental group when the PSIT post-test scores of the pre-service teachers in the experimental and control groups were analyzed. They said that STEM education is necessary and important for them, much better products arise as a result of gathering different disciplines, but integration of four disciplines is not easy.

The aim of this study is to determine the anxiety levels of the students studying in the teaching departments and to examine these according to different variables. The sample of the study consisted of 400 non-random sampling methods and 400 prospective teachers who were studying at Dumlupinar University. The personal information form created by the researchers and the data related to the pre-service teachers' concerns about the teaching profession were provided by Caba and Yalçınalp (2009). In the research findings: “Gender”, “Age”, “Satisfaction Status”, “Class”, “Faculty” and “Sports Making Status” showed a significant difference in “OAST” total scores (p <0.05). As a result, it can be concluded that the vocational anxiety levels of the teacher candidates studying in different departments differ according to some variables.Extended English summary is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file. ÖzetBu araştırma ile öğretmenlik bölümlerinde okuyan öğrencilerinin mesleğe yönelik kaygı düzeylerini belirlemek ve bunu farklı değişkenlere göre incelemektir. Araştırmanın örneklemini seçkisiz olmayan örnekleme yöntemlerinden uygun örnekleme yoluyla seçilen ve Dumlupınar Üniversitesinde öğrenim görmekte olan 400 öğretmen adayı oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmada oluşturulan demografik bilgi formu ve öğretmen adaylarının öğretmenlik mesleğine yönelik kaygılarına ilişkin veriler Cabı ve Yalçınalp (2009) tarafından geliştirilen Öğretmen Adaylarına Yönelik Mesleki Kaygı Ölçeği (ÖAYMK) ile sağlanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde; betimsel istatistik yöntemler, Man Whitney U ve Kruskal Wallis testlerinden faydalanılmıştır. Araştırma bulgularında: “Cinsiyet”, “Yaş”, “Okuduğu Bölümden Memnun Olma Durumu”, “Sınıf”, “Fakülte” ve “Spor Yapma Durumu” göre “ÖAYMK” toplam puanlarında manidar farklılık bulunmuştur. Araştırmaya gore, öğretmen adaylarının meslekleri ile ilgili kaygı seviyelerinin değişkenlere göre farklılaştığı sonucuna varılabilir.

One of the studen learning goals mathematics is mathematical reasoning for outcomes training student to solve the problems. One of the problems faced by students is word questions. There are several students responses in dealing with word question which is known as Adversity Quotient. This research aims to describe the students' problem solving skills in system of three-variable linear equations subject based on Polya's theory in terms of Adversity Quotient. This is a qualitative descriptive research with three subjects of students class X IPA 1 SMAN Arjasa Jember, there are one climber student, one camper student and one quitter student. These subjects took purposive sampling with consideration according to the results of questionnaire scores that meet each of the criteria of Adversity Quotient. Data collection techniques used were questionnaires, tests, interviews and observations. The validity test used is technical triangulation. Data analyzed through data condensation, data presentation and conclusion drawing. The results showed that student with the type of climber was able to meet all the indicators of problem solving in the problem of the word questions which included indicators of understanding the problem, planning the solution, carrying out the plan of solving and re-checking. Camper type student met all indicators of problem solving except at the re-checking stage. Quitter type student in completing word questions met the stage of understanding the problem and planning the solution, while the stage of carrying out the plan and re-checking is not fulfilled by the quitter student.

In this research, it is aimed to examine the environmental knowledge and environmental education self-efficacy levels of Science teachers and prospective science teachers in terms of various variables. In this context, screening model was used. The universe of the study consisted of the science teachers who work in Iğdır province in the 2016-2017 academic year and the 3rd and 4th class studying in the Science Teaching Department of the Faculty of Education at Bayburt University. The sample of the study consisted of 110 science teachers and 110 science teacher candidates determined by easily accesible sampling from the universe. The data collected in the study were analyzed in SPSS 25 package program and it was determined that the data collection tools of the research did not show normal distribution. Therefore, non-parametric tests KruskalWallis H and Mann Whitney U tests were used in the study. As a result of the analysis conducted in the research; it was found that science teachers had moderate self-efficacy level, science teachers had high level, environmental knowledge score averages were higher than science teachers, and science teacher candidates were on average level. ​Extended English summary is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file.   Özet Araştırmada, fen bilgisi öğretmenlerinin ve fen bilgisi öğretmen adaylarının çevre bilgileri ve çevre eğitimi öz-yeterlik düzeylerinin çeşitli değişkenler açısından incelemek amaçlanmaktadır.
