The propose of the study is to explore preservice science teachers’ levels of awareness about topics, units and concepts in primary science curriculum and reveal their levels of being ready the teacher profession. The study was carried out in second semester of 2005-2006 academic year. The sample for the study was composed of 60 undergraduate students selected randomly and 15 student for each grade ranging grade one to grade four at the Department of Primary Science Education of Kazım Karabekir Education Faculty, Ataturk University. To explore preservise science teachers’ levels of awareness about topics, units and concepts in primary science curriculum, it was asked the students to choose or write down about topics, units and concepts existing in primary science curriculum to the lists prepared by researchers. In addition, it was asked the participants to write the way they are aware of being conscious about it and how they are aware about it. The findings from the analysis of the student written materials suggest that participants’ level of awareness about topics, units and concepts in primary science curriculum are quite low. To reveal the possible difference among the variety of grades with regard to the level of awareness, Variance Analysis ANOVA was conducted. The statistical results indicated that there is not statistically significant difference among the grades according to their level of awareness. The findings suggest that although the teacher profession practices in schools had contributed the final year students’ levels of awareness, the contribution was not as much as leading to create any difference statistically significant when compared with other three grades.

Bu çalışmanın amacı Fen Bilgisi Öğretmenliği programı öğrencilerinin, ilköğretim ikinci kademe fen bilgisi derslerinde işlenilen ünite, konu ve kavramlardan haberdarlık düzeylerini ortaya koymak ve böylece öğretmenlik mesleğine hazırlık düzeylerini tespit etmektir. 2005-2006 öğretim yılı ikinci döneminde gerçekleştirilen çalışmada, örneklem olarak her sınıftan N=15 kişi rasgele seçimle belirlenen 60 Atatürk Üniversitesi Kazım Karabekir Eğitim Fakültesi Fen Bilgisi Öğretmenliği öğrencisi alınmıştır. Öğrencilerin ilköğretim fen bilgisi dersine ait ünite, konu ve kavramların ne düzeyde farkında olduklarını ortaya koymak amacıyla araştırmacılar tarafından oluşturulan çizelgelerden derse ait ünite, konu ve kavramları öğrencilerden seçmeleri ya da yazılı olarak ifade etmeleri istenmiştir. Ayrıca, öğrencilerin bu ünite, konu ve kavramların fen bilgisi dersi içerisinde yer aldığını ne şekilde öğrendiklerini ortaya koymak amacıyla, bu kavram, ünite ve konuların hangi yoldan ve ne şekilde farkında olduklarını yazılı olarak ifade etmeleri istenmiştir. Elde edilen yazılı materyallerin analizinden öğrencilerin önemli bir kısmının, ilköğretim fen bilgisi dersi müfredatı ile ilgili farkındalık seviyelerinin düşük olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Farkındalık düzeyi bakımından sınıflar arasında bir farklılık olup olmadığının tespiti amacıyla yapılan istatiksel analiz ANOVA sınıflar arasında önemli bir farklılığın olmadığını göstermiştir. Ayrıca, dördüncü sınıf öğrencilerinin öğretmenlik uygulaması etkinlikleri çerçevesinde ilköğretim okullarında daha fazla bulunmaları ve derslere katılmalarına rağmen farkındalık düzeylerinin bir, iki ve üçüncü sınıflara oranla değişmediği gözlenmiştir.
