One month later, pre-service science teachers have been asked to prepare their teaching by considering constructivist approaching. Thus, it has been aimed to understand the preferences and priorities of pre-service science teachers. The purpose of this study is to try evaluating what kind of teaching role pre-service science teachers undertook. It has also been tried to understand whether the education taken during undergraduate has been reflected by pre-service science teachers or not. As a result, it has been seen that pre-service teachers uses new methods and techniques in every situation but when they are not urged to use constructivist approach, they use these methods like traditional methods.
