–Organic chemistry which is called as chemistry of carbon compounds has an important place in chemistry and other fields of science. The fact that the subject of alcohols in organic chemistry is related to organic compounds such as aldehyde, ketone and carboxylic acid made this subject one of the basic subjects of organic chemistry. For this reason, it was aimed to describe prospective science teachers’ understanding levels and misconceptions about alcohols with this study. In this study, alcohol concept test which includes 16 multiple choice items was applied to 77 prospective science teachers to collect data. In addition, semi-structured interview was conducted with 12 prospective science teachers. At the end of study, it was determined that prospective science teachers had difficulties in understanding some topics such as physical propertiesof alcohols, structural isomerism, oxidation of alcohols and synthesis of alcohols and they had some misconceptions about these topics
