Özet:

In this study, it was aimed to examine chemical representations in textbooks within the scope of pre-service science teachers' perceptions. The sample group of the study consisted of 18 pre-service science teachers who studied in the 3rd and 4th grades at the university. In order to collect data, cards containing chemical representations were used. First of all, pre-service teachers' pre-knowledge about the chemical representations on these cards was determined. After examining and discussing the knowledge and examples about the representations in chemistry, the post-knowledge of the pre-service teachers about the chemical representations was determined. Interviews were conducted with pre-service science teachers about the chemical representations on the cards. In the study, pre-service science teachers were not successful at the desired level in interpreting chemical representations and establishing correct relationships between these representations. It was seen that pre-service teachers were successful in identifying the representations on the cards containing single representations, but had difficulties in identifying multiple representations.
