    (Balıkesir Üniversitesi Necatibey Eğitim Fakültesi, 2013) Karslı, F.; Ayas, Alipaşa
    The aim of this study is to determine alternative conceptions of prospective science teachers about the concepts of “Evaporation and Boiling”, “Acid-Base Neutralization Reactions”, “Dissolution and Factors Affecting Solubility”, “Gas Laws”, “Factors Affecting Reaction Rate” and “Electrochemical Cells”. The sample of the study conducted according to a case study consisted of 97 third-year students enrolled in Department of Science Teaching Programme in Faculty of Education in Giresun University. As the data collection tool, two- tier Chemistry Concept Tests (CCTs) developed by Karslı (2011) was used in this study. The results obtained from CCTs’ data indicated that the prospective science teachers have various alternative conceptions about the chemistry concepts also reported in the literature and not mentioned in the literature. Within this research, possible causes of the alternative concepts determined in this study discussed, and some recommendations are presented for the elimination of these alternative concepts.
