Abstract
The aim of this study is to determine the problems effecting programming process of preservice information technology teachers and the reasons of these problems by monitoring programming process. In this study, programming processes of pre-service teachers were investigated with cognitive task analysis. Six Information Technologies teacher candidates, taking Internet Based Programming course in Fall Semester of 2011-2012 academic year at the Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technologies (CEIT) at Hacettepe University, participated in the study. Participants were divided to three groups, namely advanced, intermediate and beginner according to their prior programming knowledge and experiences, Tasks of writing program and reading program were assigned to the participants. After the tasks of reading program and thinking and writing program simultaneously, interviews were made with retrospective thinking aloud procedure. The data was analyzed by the NVivo 8 package program. It was found that while participants in advanced level were more successful in the task of writing program, participants in intermediate level were more successful in the task of reading program. The findings indicated that these two processes, writing program and reading program, may require different skills and cognitive processes.

Abstract
Bu çalışmanın amacı, bilişim teknolojileri öğretmen adaylarının programlama sürecini izleyerek, bu süreçteki sorunları ve bu sorunların nedenlerini belirlemektir. Bu çalışmada bilişsel görev analizi ile öğretmen adaylarının programlama süreçleri incelenmiştir. Çalışmaya Hacettepe Üniversitesi Bilgisayar ve Öğretim Teknolojileri Eğitimi (BÖTE) Bölümü’nde 2011-2012 Güz Dönemi’nde İnternet Tabanlı Programlama dersine devam eden 6 bilişim teknolojileri öğretmen adayı katılmıştır. Katılımcılar önceki programlama bilgi ve deneyimlerine göre ileri, orta ve düşük olmak üzere üçe ayrılmıştır. Katılımcılara program yazma ve program okuma görevleri verilmiştir. Program okuma görevi ile eş-zamanlı düşünme ve program yazma görevinden sonra geriye dönük sesli düşünme ile görüşme yapılmıştır. Veriler NVivo 8 programı yardımıyla analiz edilmiştir. Program yazma görevinde ileri düzeydeki katılımcılar daha başarılı olurken, program okuma görevinde orta düzeydeki katılımcıların daha başarılı olduğu görülmektedir. Bu durum, program yazma ve okuma görevlerinin birbirinden farklı beceriler gerektirdiğini ve farklı bilişsel süreçler içerdiğini göstermektedir.
