Abstract:

The purpose of this research is to identify the correctly known errors (neuromites) that teachers candidates who are studying in different branches (biology, mathematics and computer and teaching technology education) at the University of Hacettepe have to understand brain functions. The study consists of 56 teachers. The study used the "Educative Neuroscience Data Collection Scale" as a data collection tool. This scale was used by Dekker Lee, Howard-Jones and Jolles (2012) for the Education Neuroscience Data Collection Scale, which was adapted to Turkey by Gülsün and Köseoğlu (2020) consisting of 32 substances developed by their brain and functioning. The research model is a relative study in the general scan model. According to the research results, although the teachers candidates are generally relevant, they have very little knowledge about the subject. Research findings show that the neuromites that teachers candidates have about the issues related to the brain structure may multiply false information in the teaching process and may lead to the formation of new neuromites. It is believed that this research will contribute to the field of educational sciences by lighting the new studies and the relevant practices to be carried out on neuroscience practices, which are an interdisciplinary field.
