Using Case-Based Science Scenarios to Analyze Preservice Teachers’ Analytical Thinking Skills

Any science teacher must first acquire analytical thinking skills in order to give their students the ability think analytically. Therefore, candidacy period is important for teachers develop this skill and translate it into professional knowledge. Based on idea, current research aims determine of preservice use skills. An test used carried out survey method. This consists 20 case-based scenarios total from four different learning fields. These are designed according dimensions Marzano’s Taxonomy (analyzing errors, classifying, comparing, specifying, generalizing). Preservice (N=158) two public universities have participated study. It determined that majority weakly revealed difficulties respectively classification - specification error analysis generalization – comparison Marzano's taxonomy most least while solving scenarios. can be suggested educators designs improve candidates courses they conduct basis results research.
