In this research, phenomenology design, one of the qualitative research methods, was used. Controlled word association test and drawing technique were used together as data collection tool to determine the cognitive perceptions of science teacher candidates. In the light of the findings obtained from the research, it was seen that science teacher candidates produced more concepts about noise sources and their effects on human health, but they did not dwell much on the issue of reducing or preventing noise pollution. Only two science teacher candidates gave the answer “sound insulation” and showed this answer in the drawing they drew. The drawings made by the science teacher candidates and the data obtained from the word association test overlap with each other. However, it was observed that the science teacher candidates’ sensitivity to this environmental problem was insufficient.}, number={2}, publisher={Mer Ak Mersin Akademi Danışmanlık Anonim Şirketi}
