Abstract
This study was conducted with the purpose of examining capacity to determine of Prospective Chemistry Teachers (PCT) Science Process Skills (SPS) on different chemistry experiments. The study was carried out with document analyses in the academic year of 2008–2009 at the Faculty of Education Karadeniz Technical University in Turkey. The sample group consists of a total number of 28 senior undergraduate students at the Department of Chemistry Teacher Education. This study was carried out within course of Chemistry Teaching Methods-1. Then each group selected an experiment and analyzed it in terms of SPS. Each SPS, in each experiment selected by the groups, were determined by researchers and these skills were compared with PCT’. According to the data obtained from PCT’ reports, it is found that SPS determined by PCT is limited when compared with researcher’ and also it is found that some skills were determined wrongly by PCT. In this case, the results indicated that PCT had difficulties in determining SPS and confused some steps of SPS with each other.
