The aim of this study is to study the different variables of the learning strategies that social information teachers candidates use in geography courses. In the research, a general scan model, which is one of the quantum research methods, was used. The research work group consists of 189 teachers candidates studying in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th classes of the Faculty of Social Information Teaching in the 2016-2017 Education-Teaching Year Spring Period. The research data was collected through the Learning Strategies Scale, adapted to the geography course by Aydin(2011) developed by Toy (2007). The obtained data was analyzed using the arithmetic average, t test, one-way variance analysis (ANOVA) and multiple comparison test (LSD). The study found that social information teachers’ candidates used organizational strategies at least in their geography courses. The research found that there were significant differences between the learning strategies and gender variables that the teacher candidates used in the geography course in favor of women, while there were significant differences in terms of class level variables.
