Abstract :The aim of the study is to examine the assessment and evaluation approaches preferred by pre-service science teachers through the lesson plans they prepared within the scope of teaching practice 1 course. The lesson plans prepared by the pre-service teachers were evaluated in terms of the assessment and evaluation techniques they preferred according to the science subject areas and the distribution of the subjects according to the grade levels. The study was conducted with document analysis method. In the study, lesson plans prepared by 65 prospective science teachers were analyzed. The data obtained were analyzed by document analysis and Excel program. According to the results of the analysis, it was determined that the pre-service teachers mostly preferred traditional assessment and evaluation techniques in the lesson plans they prepared, they mostly preferred physics subjects and mostly multiple-choice tests and true-false techniques among the traditional techniques, they mostly preferred biology subjects among the alternative techniques, and they mostly preferred the structured grid technique in biology subjects. In the findings related to the distribution of the subjects in which they used assessment and evaluation techniques according to grade levels, it was found that pre-service teachers mostly preferred the subjects at the 5th and 6th grade levels, and in these subjects, they preferred true-false techniques from traditional techniques at both grade levels. Among the alternative techniques, structured grid and diagnostic branched tree techniques were mostly preferred at the 5th grade level, while concept map was preferred at the 6th grade level. 8th grade level subjects are included at a limited level.
