Özet:

Science and Engineering Applications was added the science course curriculum so the number of subject areas was increased from 4 to 5.This field includes the strategies for delivering students to the level of innovation and invention, looking at interdisciplinary perspective to the problems, creation product using knowledge and skills, and how they can add value to these products by integrating science with mathematics, technology and engineering. Therefore, teachers who are expected to develop these skills and teachers' teaching activities should be improved. In this study, it is aimed to evaluate teaching activities developed and applied by classroom teacher candidates on the basis of Engineering Design Process in the scope of Science Teaching-II course of Istanbul Aydin University Faculty of Education and to reveal the troubles that may be experienced at school. This study is specific case study and based on document analysis. In this kind of research student experience, effects of a school reform or qualifications of an education program are examined. Special case studies can also be used to explain cause-effect relationship or to provide information to decision-making in some very complex cases. The sampling of the study is formed of 45 teacher candidates studying in 3rd class of Istanbul Aydın University Faculty of Educational Studies Classroom Teaching Department. Results were obtained by evaluation of 45 activities developed by teacher candidates by researchers according to determined examination criteria. In activities developed and tried to make a product a low level performance detected in problem description and intelligibility of described problem as the first and most important step. Likewise, due to‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎ problems and difficulties experienced in problem description step also performance in generating creative solutions and to make prototype is also low. Taking into account individual problems in engineering design based activities developed and applied by teacher candidates and considering importance of growing teacher candidates being informed about new methods and techniques it is recommended to include engineering design based science teaching to teacher education programs.
