摘要:In the study, it was aimed to examine preservice chemistry teachers’ understanding level of oxidation and reduction topic before and after the learning cycle model application and to determine the effect of this model on their understanding level of this topic and lower and higher order thinking skills. Thirty preservice chemistry teachers from Hacettepe University, Faculty of Education, Department of Chemistry Education participated in the study. Data were obtained by Oxidation Reduction Achievement Test which is consisted of twelve open ended questions prepared according to Bloom Taxonomy. At the end of the study, it was determined that preservice chemistry teachers’ understanding level of oxidation reduction topic is low before the learning cycle model application but a significant increase in their understanding level of this topic was determined after the application. It was concluded that the learning cycle model provides a significant increase in their higher and lower order thinking skills via paired sample t-tests.
