Abstract:

The purpose of this research is to study the cases in which science knowledge teacher candidates can associate their information about sound waves with everyday life. The method of study is used from the quality research patterns. The sample of the research is made by 94 teachers who studied in the 2017-2018 educational year at the University of Kırıkkale, the Faculty of Education, the Department of Science and Information Education. In the selection of teachers candidates, easy-to-accessful sample methods have been used. A test consisting of open end questions developed by researchers as a data collection tool was used. In the analysis of quality data, visual analysis and visual statistics were used. According to the findings, the answers of teachers to questions about the speeds and the reflection of sound waves in different environments show that they are more easily linking their knowledge on this subject to everyday life. The answers to questions about the frequency of voice show that the teacher candidates in the sample have difficulty linking their knowledge on this topic to their daily lives. According to the answers to the questions about the level of voice violence, the teacher candidates found that almost half of their knowledge about this subject was properly linked to their daily lives.
